Asia-Pacific's Best Ayala, San Miguel Among Top 100 in Time Magazine's World's Best Companies List

In a remarkable achievement for Philippine businesses, twenty-nine companies from the country have been recognized in Time Magazine's prestigious list of the World's Best Companies of 2025 – Asia/Pacific. This notable feat includes Ayala Corp., San Miguel Corp., and Security Bank Corp., which secured spots in the top 100 of the 500-member list.

Ayala, the country's oldest conglomerate, took the highest spot among Philippine firms at number 46, followed closely by San Miguel at 85th place, and Security Bank at 88th. The list is dominated by banking and financial services firms, with Singapore's DBS Bank taking the top spot.

Other notable companies include Malaysia's Maybank, South Korea's Kia and Shinhan Financial Group, and India's Wipro. Philippine-based firms that made it to the list include SM Investments (109th), BDO Unibank (112th), Jollibee (116th), SM Prime (121st), Asian Development Bank (172nd), Cebu Pacific (178th), Aboitiz Group (188th), Robinsons Retail (211th), Petron (216th), Chinabank (238th), Alliance Global (245th), JG Summit (265th), PLDT (280th), Metrobank (311th), AboitizPower (318th), Del Monte Philippines (320th), Universal Robina (329th), RCBC (332nd), Filinvest (340th), Wilcon Depot (341st), Ginebra San Miguel (345th), Integrated Microelectronics (364th), Megaworld (374th), Puregold (381st), EEI (416th), and Max's (465th).

Reactions from the top companies have been pouring in, with Megaworld President and CEO Lourdes Gutierrez-Alfonso stating that the distinction is more than an accolade – it is a reaffirmation of our enduring mission to contribute to nation-building, strengthening our resolve to continue uplifting lives, impacting society, and helping shape the nation. SM Investments President and CEO Frederic DyBuncio echoed similar sentiments, saying that their inclusion on the list reflects their commitment to strong business performance, employee well-being, and sustainable practices.

Alliance Global AGI President and CEO Kevin Tan added that their inclusion is a testament to their group's unwavering commitment to nation-building as a proudly Filipino conglomerate. Filinvest President and CEO Rhoda Huang also shared her sentiments, saying that the recognition affirms their commitment to building a future-forward and resilient business while driving economic progress through their diverse portfolio.

The regional ranking was compiled by Time and Statista based on company revenue growth, employee satisfaction, and environmental, social, and corporate governance data. The list also highlights companies spearheading a shift to electric vehicles, with Japan's Nissan Motor Corp. (9th) and South Korea's Hyundai (10th) joining Kia in the top 10.

As businesses across Asia-Pacific continue to navigate the challenges of 2025, Time Magazine notes that despite geopolitical uncertainties, many firms have shown resilience and adaptability. Whether this trend will continue remains to be seen, with US President Donald Trump threatening a raft of trade tariffs that may impact regional economies.
