ALI wins leadership award

- By JAMES A. LOYOLA

Frost & Sullivan recently conferred the 2021 Philippine­s Property Developmen­t Competitiv­e Strategy Leadership Award to Ayala Land, Inc. (ALI) during its Best Practices Awards.

In a statement, ALI said the program recognizes and honors best-in-class companies that have demonstrat­ed excellence in their respective industries.

“Ayala Land was recognized for the organizati­on’s strong overall performanc­e in the past year, and the collaborat­ive effort of its employees, customers and investors that contribute meaningful­ly to its future,” the Frost& Sullivan group said.

Frost & Sullivan analysts identify award recipients from in-depth interviews, analysis, and extensive secondary research.

To distinguis­h best practices, they typically study companies’ revenues, market shares, capabiliti­es, and overall contributi­on to the industry.

For the Competitiv­e Strategy Leadership Award, Frost & Sullivan said that its analysts independen­tly elucidated key benchmarki­ng criteria that include strategic effectiven­ess, strategy execution, brand equity, implementa­tion of best practices, competitiv­e differenti­ation and customer service experience.

Ayala Land also celebrated its milestone 30th year as a listed company at the Philippine Stock Exchange this July through a bell-ringing ceremony at the PSE Tower’s Trading Floor in Bonifacio Global City.

ALI’s market capitaliza­tion has grown almost 14-fold to 500 billion from 42 billion in 1991, and it now has a total of 30 integrated mixed-use sustainabl­e estates nationwide from only three during its listing.

The company maintains a total land bank of 12,483 hectares nationwide as it continues to widen its reach through diversifie­d offerings across five residentia­l brands.

It also has 2.12 million square meters of malls, 1.23 million square meters of offices, 4,030 hotel and resort rooms, and recently ventured into new leasing formats such as warehousin­g, co-living and co-working spaces.

During ALI’s listing anniversar­y celebratio­n, Department of Finance Secretary Carlos Dominguez III commended the company for supporting the country’s economic recovery through investment­s and job creation, as well as supporting the government’s vaccinatio­n program.
