PLDT pressrelease #SustainabilityEveryday

 

 

PLDT included in the S&P Global Sustainability Yearbook 2025, named global telecom “Industry Mover”

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

MANILA, PHILIPPINES, 19 February 2025 – The Philippines’ leading integrated telecommunications company PLDT Inc. (PLDT) made it into the S&P Global Sustainability Yearbook 2025, a distinguished listing of the world’s best performing companies in corporate sustainability.

Inclusion in the Yearbook requires a company to earn an S&P Global Corporate Sustainability Assessment (CSA) score in the top 15% of its industry and within 30% of its industry’s top-performing company.

PLDT is also named the “Industry Mover” for achieving the strongest performance improvement in the global telecommunication services industry.

Registering a 14-point improvement over its score in the previous year, PLDT attained a CSA score of 72 out of 100 in 2024, the highest among Philippine companies. PLDT is also the only Philippine company included in the 2025 Yearbook.

“PLDT is proud to be among the best companies in the world in terms of sustainability. We recognize that making a meaningful impact on our stakeholders is key to long-term profitability, and we are glad that our efforts have been recognized. Rest assured that this inspires our organization to continue pursuing initiatives that consider our environmental, social and governance impacts,” said PLDT Chairman and CEO Manuel V Pangilinan.

 

PLDT’s notable improvements in 2024 included its enactment of a Human Rights Policy and corresponding disclosure of human rights impact, updated and expanded analysis of material issues and impact on stakeholders, and enhanced measures to integrate climate and nature into its business operations, among others. The company also continued to score well in the areas of risk and crisis management, privacy protection, and information security.

 

 

“Inclusion in the S&P Global Sustainability Yearbook is a distinct honor, as is being named as the Industry Mover in the global telco industry. These affirm that PLDT’s sustainability roadmap is on the

right track and in line with global best practices,” said PLDT First Vice President and Chief Sustainability Officer Melissa V Vergel de Dios.

PLDT is one of 780 companies included in the S&P Global Sustainability Yearbook 2025 from an assessment base of over 7,690 companies across 62 industries in the 2024 CSA.

The CSA is an annual evaluation and benchmark of companies worldwide based on their performance across an extensive range of industry-specific economic, environmental, and social sustainability criteria.
