Insider Spotlight
The Philippine-listed restaurant giant recently earned the 3G Excellence in Sustainability Reporting Award 2026 for the second consecutive year, alongside its first-ever 3G Championship Award for Service Excellence.
The awards were presented by Cambridge International Finance Advisory during ceremonies in Singapore on April 28.
Why it matters
Global recognition tied to sustainability disclosures is increasingly becoming a benchmark for consumer-facing companies seeking investor confidence, regulatory alignment, and stronger stakeholder trust.
The latest citation validates the company’s effort to institutionalize sustainability reporting under its “Joy for Tomorrow” agenda, which tracks initiatives spanning food safety, responsible sourcing, employee welfare, farmer livelihood support, emissions management, recycling, and waste reduction.
According to a company release, the recognition also reflects the group’s continued alignment with international sustainability reporting standards while expanding accountability measures across its operations in 33 countries.
The awards build on earlier recognitions received by the company, including the 3G Excellence in Sustainability Reporting Award 2025 and the 3G Championship Award for Community Development and Philanthropy in 2024.
Customer experience
“We are honored to receive the 3G Excellence in Sustainability Reporting Award 2026 for the second consecutive year, alongside the 3G Championship Award for Service Excellence 2026,” said Pepot Miñana, global chief sustainability and public affairs officer.
“These recognitions reflect our teams’ dedication across markets in advancing our Joy for Tomorrow agenda and elevating customer experience, as we remain steadfast in our commitment to keep moving forward with purpose,” he said.
The service excellence recognition specifically cited the company’s customer experience initiatives, creativity, and commitment to exceeding service expectations across markets.
By the numbers
Jollibee Foods Corp. operates more than 10,000 stores and cafés across 33 countries under 19 brands, including Jollibee, Chowking, Mang Inasal, Smashburger, The Coffee Bean & Tea Leaf, and Highlands Coffee.
The big picture
