The Philippines is taking a significant step forward in aligning its sustainability reporting regime with global standards, reinforcing the growing importance of ESG and climate-related disclosures across capital markets. Key regulatory bodies — including the Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC), Bangko Sentral ng Pilipinas (BSP), Insurance Commission (IC), and the Department of Environment and Natural Resources (DENR) — continue to play a central role in advancing
the country’s sustainability agenda.

These agencies are working toward a coordinated regulatory strategy that integrates sustainability reporting, sustainable finance, and circular economy principles, with the objective of strengthening economic resilience while balancing growth, environmental stewardship and social responsibility.
