Enhancing Risk Preparedness and Investor Appeal for a Philippine Healthcare Group

Lack of ESG Visibility Limited Access to Investment and Risk Coverage

A healthcare group operating outpatient clinics and diagnostics centers nationwide was aiming to expand into provincial hubs. 

However, as it approached investors and insurers, the company encountered resistance due to insufficient ESG risk disclosures—particularly regarding data privacy, energy efficiency, and business continuity during climate events. Without a clear ESG strategy or reporting framework, the firm faced stalled negotiations and reputational risk.

IFRS-Aligned Reporting to Strengthen Risk Governance and Growth Readiness

Our team conducted a full ESG risk review and implemented an IFRS S1/S2 and GRI-based reporting system that addressed the unique risks facing outpatient healthcare. Key initiatives included:

• Climate risk assessments for clinic sites, aligned with IFRS S2 guidance.
• Data privacy and cybersecurity KPI development in line with patient rights and regulatory frameworks.
• Energy and water use monitoring across locations to track progress toward operational efficiency.
• A comprehensive ESG report tailored for investor engagement, featuring risk mitigation strategies and performance metrics.

Improved Investment Profile and Operational Agility

• Gained eligibility for a P500M health infrastructure fund, following ESG documentation improvements.
• Secured ESG-linked insurance premiums for critical equipment and data systems.
• Achieved 30% energy savings across 20 sites after implementing recommendations from the ESG audit.
• Incorporated ESG oversight into board governance with a newly formed sustainability subcommittee.

Strategic ESG Reporting Supports Growth, Risk Management, and Capital Access

Healthcare companies must prepare for both clinical and climate-related disruptions. This success story shows how proactive, standards-based ESG reporting helps healthcare providers build trust, attract funding, and protect long-term operations.
