MANILA — San Miguel Corporation (SMC) and its subsidiaries, Petron Corporation and Ginebra San Miguel Inc. (GSMI), have earned a spot on TIME and Statista’s 2025 ranking of the top 500 companies shaping business in the Asia-Pacific region.
SMC ranked No. 85, making it the second highest-ranked Philippine company, while Petron placed No. 216 and GSMI secured No. 345. Their inclusion was based on key indicators such as employee satisfaction, financial performance, and sustainability transparency—all essential for long-term business viability and ethical leadership.
SMC Chairman and CEO Ramon S. Ang welcomed the recognition, reaffirming the company’s commitment to excellence in business and social responsibility, which extends to its subsidiaries.
This latest accolade adds to a series of global awards for SMC. In 2024, it was named among the World’s Best Companies by TIME (No. 463) and Forbes’ Best Employers (No. 89), where it was the highest-ranked Philippine firm in the latter’s top 100.
SMC continues to lead in nation-building with its diverse business portfolio, particularly in infrastructure, energy, and environmental projects. Its Better Rivers PH initiative has removed over 8 million tons of waste from nine river systems in Luzon. The company’s extensive infrastructure network, including expressways and airports, strengthens connectivity and drives economic growth.
Additionally, SMC supports food security through partnerships with local farmers and operates Better World community centers that address hunger, education, and healthcare gaps.
“This recognition sets the stage for an even stronger 2025. It proves that Filipino companies can compete globally and make a meaningful impact beyond business,” said Ang.
