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 the same vein, we are cognizant of the need to secure our businesses from the threats brought about by climate change. Ayala continues to be guided by the recommendations of the Task Force on Climate-Related Financial Disclosures (TCFD), cognizant that the TCFD had just concluded its operations and is now subsumed by the International Sustainability Standards Board (ISSB). 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 financial 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.

To more effectively identify and manage topics that critically affect both its businesses and stakeholders, Ayala conducted a double materiality assessment in 2023, in line with best practice to revisit and refresh material topics every two to three years. The company mapped out relevant themes and consulted its stakeholders to determine sustainability issues to be prioritized and the corresponding actions that need to be taken to address them.
