Ayala land dominates global competition as pursuit of excellence continues

Ayala Land Inc. (ALI), the listed property giant, remains steadfast in its pursuit of excellence, carrying with it the DNA of the Ayala Group, the country’s oldest conglomerate.

As it celebrates its 33 years of empowering lives and nation building, ALI pops the champagne bottles as well for reaping 36 global Stevie awards at the 2021 International Business Awards (IBA).

2021 Grand Stevie Organization of the Year

ALI’s long list of Stevie Awards is topped by the prestigious Grand Stevie as Organization of the Year, which is no mean feat, as it proves it is the best among the world’s best.

The company, in fact, earned the most number of award points this year and topped an IBA program that is considered the world’s leading omnibus business awards competition.

Heart that Cares COVID-19 Response program by Ayala Property Management Corporation was recognized as Most Valuable Corporate Response.

The IBA Stevies feature a wide variety of categories to recognize achievement in every facet of work life, including management, new products, marketing, public relations, customer service, website design and more.

They were created in 2002 to honor and generate public recognition of the achievements and positive contributions of organizations and working professionals worldwide.

“The best-of-show Grand Stevie winners are emblematic of the breadth and quality of nominations we welcomed to the IBAs in 2021,” said Maggie Gallagher Miller, president of the Stevie Awards.

“COVID-19 continues to test economic conditions in many parts of the world, but those challenges have been met and overcome in myriad ways by our 2021 Stevie Award winners,” Miller said.

Pioneering REIT

ALI’s AREIT Inc. likewise won a Stevie, bringing home the Gold Stevie as Real Estate Company of the Year.

AREIT braved an uncertain market, at the height of the onslaught of COVID-19 in the country, making its landmark initial public offering in August 2020.

Ayala Land’s Circular Waste Management Program, which diverts plastic waste from landfills and recycles these into eco-products, was chosen as Health, Safety & Environment Program of the Year.

The market debut was designed to make the Philippine property market more inclusive and accessible to Filipino investors through a best-in-class REIT. In effect, AREIT blazed the trail for others, jumpstarting the now increasingly vibrant REIT landscape in the Philippines.

33 years and counting

It continues to widen its reach through diversified offerings across five residential brands, with 2.12 million square meters of malls, 1.30 million square meters of offices, 4,030 hotel and resort rooms, and a recent expansion into new leasing formats such as warehousing, co-living and co-working spaces.

We continue to strive for excellence across our organization to come up with programs that enhance our customer and community engagements,” said ALI president and CEO Bernard Vincent Dy.
