Philippine firms rank among Asia-Pacific's best

TIME and Statista have named nearly 30 Philippine-based companies among the World's Best Companies of 2025 for the Asia-Pacific region, ranking them based on employee satisfaction, financial performance, and sustainability transparency.

The ranking evaluates firms with at least $100 million in revenue from 2023 and positive growth from 2021 to 2023, using survey data from over 50,000 participants across the Asia-Pacific region for employee satisfaction.

Sustainability transparency is based on environmental, social, and governance (ESG) data from 2022, including carbon emissions intensity and reduction rates, CDP ratings, gender diversity in boardrooms, human rights policies, adherence to Global Reporting Initiative guidelines, and compliance with anti-corruption standards.

Ayala Corp. emerged as the top-performing Philippine company, followed by San Miguel Corp. and Security Bank Corp., while DBS Bank of Singapore topped the overall Asia-Pacific list.
