Investment Company SM Wins TIME's Best Company Title for Two Consecutive Years
SM Investments Corporation Recognized on "World's Best Companies 2025" List for Second Consecutive Year
SM Investments Corporation, the parent firm of the SM group, has once again made it to the prestigious "World's Best Companies 2025" list, compiled by TIME and Statista. This marks the second consecutive year that the company has received this recognition.
The Philippines-based conglomerate was included in both the TIME's Asia-Pacific Best Companies 2025 and the 2024 World's Best Companies list. In the global ranking, SM Investments placed third among ten Philippine companies.
The evaluation process for the TIME World's Best Companies list involves assessing revenue growth over the past three years, employer surveys measuring employee satisfaction, and factoring in sustainability performance and transparency. Companies must generate at least USD100 million in revenue in the last fiscal year to be considered.
The top three companies on the "World's Best Companies 2025" list are Nvidia (1st), Microsoft (2nd), and JPMorgan Chase (3rd). While no Philippine companies are specifically listed among the world's best companies in the 2025 rankings, global companies such as CGI and Mars, Incorporated were recognized.
SM Investments Corporation's focus on responsible growth, strong financial performance, employee engagement, and sustainability practices has been instrumental in its recognition. The company's President and Chief Executive Officer, Frederic DyBuncio, stated that the recognition inspires them to keep strengthening their efforts in creating value for their stakeholders and contributing positively to their communities.
In addition to SM Investments Corporation, China Banking Corporation (Chinabank), one of the company's bank affiliates, was also recognized. The recognition reflects SM Investments' balanced approach to growth, delivering strong results for shareholders while also fostering long-term value and resilience for employees, partners, and communities.
