Securing Investor Confidence Through Climate and Risk Reporting in a Philippine Beverage Company

ESG concerns threatened expansion and investor relations

A rapidly growing beverage manufacturer had big plans to launch new product lines and expand regionally. However, its major institutional investors expressed concern over climate-related risks—including water sourcing, packaging waste, and energy intensity. 

The company lacked climate disclosures aligned with global standards and had no reporting process that communicated its environmental mitigation strategy in investor-ready terms.

IFRS-aligned climate disclosures addressed material risk head-on

We implemented a climate-focused ESG reporting framework aligned with IFRS S2 and GRI, tailored to food and beverage risks. A detailed climate risk assessment was conducted, evaluating the impact of extreme weather on water supply chains, energy consumption patterns, and facility resilience. We then created a public-facing sustainability report focused on risk mitigation, adaptation, and measurable sustainability progress.

Strengthened investor confidence and environmental resilience

• Met investor ESG disclosure requirements and secured approval for a P700M expansion loan
• Reduced carbon footprint by 25% per unit of production, driven by cleaner energy investments
• Established a water stewardship program with community co-benefits in two drought-prone provinces
• ESG reporting function formally embedded into quarterly investor briefings and board reporting

Investors backed the vision—because the risks were addressed clearly

This beverage company demonstrated that climate-aware, investor-aligned reporting is not just a checkbox—it’s the bridge to growth. Clear disclosures earned them the funding, and the credibility, to move forward.
