SMC Chairman and CEO Ramon S. Ang welcomes TIME’s recognition of San Miguel Corporation and its subsidiaries, Petron Corporation and Ginebra San Miguel Inc., in its list of top 500 companies in Asia Pacific.
SAN Miguel Corporation (SMC) and its subsidiaries, Petron Corporation and Ginebra San Miguel Inc. (GSMI), have been recognized in 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, No. 345. Their inclusion was based on employee satisfaction, financial performance, and sustainability transparency, which are key indicators of long-term business viability and ethical leadership.
SMC Chairman and CEO Ramon S. Ang welcomed the recognition even as he reiterated the company’s commitment to excellence in business and social responsibility that extend to its subsidiaries.
This is the latest in a string 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), the highest-ranked Philippine firm in the latter’s top 100.
SMC continues to lead in nation-building through its diverse portfolio of businesses, with major initiatives in infrastructure, energy, and the environment.
Its Better Rivers PH project has removed over 8 million tons of waste from nine river systems in and around Luzon, while its infrastructure network including expressways and airports, strengthen connectivity and economic growth.
SMC also 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 continues to prove that Filipino companies can compete on the global stage and make meaningful impact beyond business,” Ang said.
