MANILA, Philippines — Property giant Ayala Land Inc. (ALI) has solidified its position as among the leaders in environmental, social and governance (ESG) performance globally.
ALI is one of just two Philippine firms that has been named to TIME Magazine’s World’s Most Sustainable Companies 2025, a global ranking which evaluated more than 5,700 companies across 21 industries and 36 countries.
The ranking was conducted by TIME in partnership with global data firm Statista using a four-stage methodology that assessed over 20 ESG indicators.
ALI said the international recognition underscores its longstanding commitment to shaping resilient and low-carbon communities, while delivering long-term value for stakeholders.
“This global distinction affirms that sustainability is not just a pillar of our strategy – it’s embedded in the way we build, grow and create impact,” ALI chief sustainability officer Robert Lao said.
Lao said the recognition also pushes the company further to lead in shaping greener and more resilient communities for generations to come.
In line with its end-to-end approach to sustainability, ALI integrates environmental stewardship from land acquisition and master planning to construction and long-term property operations.
As of end-2024, 96 percent of gross leasable area across its malls, offices and hotels is powered by renewable energy, covering 101 commercial properties.
The company also has 34 green-certified buildings, spanning more than 1.16 million square meters of gross floor area.
Further, ALI has diverted 32 percent of total waste from landfills across both operations and construction sites, with pilot programs underway for plastics, food waste and residual waste.
Green mobility is likewise a growing focus for the company, with investments in pedestrian zones, bike lanes, electric vehicle charging stations and improved access to public transportation.
