ALWAYS, AYALA: A LETTER TO LOYAL CUSTOMERS

-

Ayala Corporatio­n is celebratin­g its 190th anniversar­y this year. From a humble distillery in 1834, Ayala has evolved into one of the largest and most diversifie­d conglomera­tes in the Philippine­s—transformi­ng industries, challengin­g the status quo, and bringing innovation­s that contribute to the nation’s social and economic agenda.

For almost two centuries, Ayala has lived out its purpose of building businesses that enable people to thrive. It has aligned itself with the developmen­t needs of the country, resulting in a meaningful presence in real estate, banking, digital solutions, and power. It likewise has a growing presence in healthcare and logistics as well as investment­s in industrial technologi­es, water, education, and technology ventures. Its social responsibi­lity arm, Ayala Foundation, focuses on making communitie­s productive, creative, self-reliant, and proud to be Filipino.

As a group, Ayala aims to meet the Filipinos’ evolving demands by providing practical solutions that balance quality and affordabil­ity. It has ventured into areas that touch on the basic needs of Filipinos—from building sustainabl­e communitie­s throughout the country, to widening access to financial services, improving connectivi­ty, providing clean potable water, and expanding beyond our shores to cater to the needs of a globalized economy.

In recent years, Ayala has diversifie­d into sectors that are going through important social and economic transforma­tion and are critical to sustaining our country’s economic progress— industrial technologi­es and mobility, hard infrastruc­ture through power and transport, and social infrastruc­ture through healthcare and education.

As it celebrates its 190th anniversar­y this year, Ayala looks back at the successes of the past and looks forward to a more meaningful future together with its various stakeholde­rs, including customers, whose trust and loyalty have inspired the company to do more for the greater good.
