Beyond Compliance: How Integrated ESG Reporting Prepares You for Green Financing

 Learn how integrated ESG reporting positions Philippine companies for green financing in 2025. Discover why sustainability reporting builds investor trust.

Updated September 2025

For many Philippine companies, sustainability reporting has been treated as a regulatory requirement. But in 2025, the stakes are much higher. Investors, lenders, and regulators now use ESG reporting as a benchmark for granting access to capital. This means companies that go beyond compliance—integrating sustainability into governance and strategy—gain direct pathways to green financing opportunities.

Want to unlock funding through ESG reporting?

Why ESG Reporting Matters for Financing

In global and local markets, the link between sustainability and finance is tightening:

  • Banks and lenders require ESG-aligned disclosures before issuing green or sustainability-linked loans
  • Investors prioritize companies with credible climate action and net zero strategies
  • Bond markets increasingly demand disclosure aligned with IFRS S1, IFRS S2, and TCFD for green bond issuance

Simply put – ESG reporting is no longer optional—it’s the ticket to affordable, long-term financing.
