SM Investments Corporation named among world's best companies by TIME magazine for second year

SM Investments Corporation (SMIC) has been recognized for the second consecutive year in TIME magazine's prestigious "World's Best Companies" list for 2025.

SMIC ranked third among the ten Philippine companies that made it to the global ranking.

The company's affiliate, China Banking Corp. (Chinabank), also received recognition on the list.

SMIC President and CEO Frederic DyBuncio stated that the recognition motivates the company to enhance its value creation for stakeholders and community contributions.

DyBuncio also highlighted that the award reflects SMIC's balanced growth strategy, which balances strong shareholder returns with long-term value and resilience for employees, partners, and communities.

The TIME World's Best Companies list acknowledges top organizations globally across various sectors.

This latest accolade follows SMIC's inclusion in TIME's "Asia-Pacific Best Companies 2025" earlier this year, building on its appearance in the 2024 World's Best Companies list.

Companies considered for the list must have achieved at least $100 million in revenue during the last fiscal year.
