Sustainability
Ayala's value creation process is deeply embedded in its purpose of building businesses that enable people to thrive.
Sustainability Governance
Governance of sustainability matters at Ayala starts within the Board of Directors through the Sustainability Committee, who supports the company's sustainability efforts and the integration of ESG matters into strategy formulation.
The Chief Sustainability and Risk Officer (CSRO) is the highest management-level position with a leadership mandate on sustainability, including climate-related risks and opportunities. He has the strategic responsibility to identify, assess, and manage sustainability issues. The Group Sustainability and Risk Management (GSRM) Team supports the CSRO.
2024 Integrated Report
The 2024 Ayala Integrated Report (IR) provides a comprehensive view of the way we integrate our values into our business. It demonstrates how we live up to our purpose of creating meaningful impacts on the economy, the environment, and the communities we affect.
Climate Action
Ayala commits to achieving Net-Zero Greenhouse Gas emissions by 2050
We recognize the urgency of climate action and the need to align ourselves with the global movement to address the climate crisis and ensure that the Philippines’ contribution to climate action makes an impact. Hence, we committed to achieve net-zero greenhouse gas emissions by 2050. In 2024, the Ayala Group completed its 2022, 2023, and 2024 GHG accounting and validation in line with the GHG Protocol and updated its 2021 baseline data to reflect improved emissions tracking, enable decision-making, and reduction strategy development.
In the same vein, we are cognizant of the need to secure our businesses from the threats brought about by climate change. Across its organization, Ayala ensures that its business decisions – both short- and long-term – factor in climate-related considerations. The company also regularly reviews and updates its risk register to confirm that it recognizes relevant risks and opportunities associated with climate change.
Value Creation
Ayala continues to be an active partner of various stakeholders in advocating for sustainability and bridging societal gaps.
Ayala leverages on various relationships and resources to achieve its medium- to long-term ambitions and deliver value to its stakeholders.
In 2023, Ayala refreshed its material sustainability topics using a double materiality approach, which assesses both financial materiality or how sustainability issues affect the company, and impact materiality or how the company’s activities affect stakeholders, society, and the environment. Ayala’s 2024 double materiality assessment exercise reaffirmed the company’s ESG priorities, which remain unchanged and continue to guide its sustainability and risk management strategies.

“Trends in Scopes 1 and 2 and economic intensity are positive. We are making good progress on our net-zero ambition.”
Jaime Urquijo, Chief Sustainability and Risk Officer
