ACMobility is strengthening its workplace credentials as the Ayala Group company expands a diversified business spanning vehicle distribution, dealerships, automotive services and electric vehicle charging.

For the second straight year, ACMobility secured honors from both the HR Excellence Awards and the Stevie Awards for Great Employers, adding international recognition to a year that has already brought two major workplace certifications.

The details

At the 2026 HR Excellence Awards, ACMobility received Gold for Excellence in HR Management and Bronze for Excellence in Total Rewards. Chief people officer Ariane Nava also earned a Silver citation as HR Leader of the Year.

At the 11th Stevie Awards for Great Employers, ACMobility won two Silver awards: People-Focused CEO of the Year for chief executive officer Jaime Alfonso Zobel de Ayala and Chief Human Resources Officer of the Year for Nava.

The company said in its release that the Stevie competition drew more than 1,000 nominations from 38 countries. Winners are set to be honored on Oct. 28 at the Pullman Paris Montparnasse in Paris, alongside recipients of other Stevie Awards programs.

Why it matters

 Workplace culture is becoming another pillar supporting ACMobility's growth as it pushes deeper into the Philippine transport ecosystem. Its portfolio includes BYD and Kia distribution, vehicle dealerships, Bosch Car Service workshops and an electric vehicle charging network covering more than 200 locations nationwide.

The latest citations also follow ACMobility's Top Employer 2026 Certification from the Top Employers Institute and certification from Great Place to Work Philippines earlier this year.

What they're saying

 "The honors from the HR Excellence Awards and the Stevie® Awards reflect the same commitment we've carried through the years: building a workplace environment where our people feel supported, valued, and empowered to grow. We're proud to be recognized alongside the industry's best, and even prouder of the whole team who makes this possible," said Nava.

The big picture

ACMobility is positioning employee experience alongside electrification and expanded transport services as part of its broader growth story, with the company pointing to a culture of malasakit (compassion) across its offices, dealerships and subsidiaries nationwide. — Princess Daisy C.
