SUSTAINABILITY FORUM.

Regulators and business leaders agree at the inaugural Economic Journalists Association of the Philippines (EJAP) Sustainability Forum on Monday that sustainability should be embedded into corporate operations — and that quality reporting has become a factor that increasingly determines how investors allocate capital and how markets assign value. The forum, held at the Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) eCenter in Makati, carried the theme ‘From Disclosure to Decision: How Sustainability Is Changing the Philippine Capital Market. Shown are (from left) EJAP president John Ted Cordero, Philippine Stock Exchange chief operating officer Roel Refran, Metro Pacific Investments Corp. (MPIC) chief finance officer and chief sustainability officer June Cheryl Cabal-Revilla, SEC chairperson Francis Lim and Bangko Sentral ng Pilipinas (BSP) assistant governor Pia Roman Tayag.
