Strengthening ESG Credibility for a Top Philippine Construction & Infrastructure Firm

Low ESG Visibility Was Stalling Long-Term Project Bids

One of the country’s largest infrastructure developers faced challenges meeting the ESG expectations of international financiers and government partners. 

While it maintained safety protocols, environmental programs, and community outreach, these initiatives were inconsistently tracked and undocumented in a formal report. This became a barrier to winning PPP projects, particularly those funded by multilateral institutions with strict ESG due diligence processes.

High-Impact GRI Reporting to Boost Competitive Positioning

We designed a bespoke GRI-aligned ESG reporting framework for the firm, focused on construction-relevant material topics like emissions, labor rights, biodiversity, and anti-corruption. Our consulting engagement included:

• ESG data consolidation from site-level operations and regional project offices.
• A double materiality analysis aligned with infrastructure-sector risks.
• Structured disclosures on climate resilience, safety records, community impact, and governance practices.
• Publication of a publicly accessible, visually intuitive sustainability report reviewed by key project stakeholders.

Enhanced Qualification for Major Infrastructure Deals

• Successfully qualified for a $200M PPP infrastructure project, meeting ESG transparency thresholds.
• Earned a first-time ESG rating from an international index provider, unlocking future financing channels.
• Boosted internal efficiency by centralizing environmental and labor metrics across 6 business units.
• Strengthened reputation among local regulators and international development banks.

Transparent Reporting is a Strategic Advantage in the Construction Bidding Arena

For construction firms eyeing large-scale infrastructure projects, ESG compliance is no longer optional—it’s a competitive imperative. GRI reporting gave this company a way to translate its impact into investor- and partner-ready language.
