Manila Water has earned its first ‘A’ listing in CDP for Water, a historic milestone making them the first Philippine company to achieve this top rating.
As the first Philippine company to receive this top rating, Manila Water has achieved a historic milestone by earning its first ‘A’ classification in CDP for Water. The company’s high performance in establishing strategic goals, carrying out successful initiatives, and upholding open disclosure policies is reflected in this notable improvement over last year’s “A-.” This honor highlights Manila Water’s continued leadership in water stewardship out of the more than 22,700 businesses that CDP rated in 2024.
“We are incredibly proud to achieve an ‘A’ listing from CDP for our water security efforts,” said Manila Water President and CEO Jocot de Dios. “This recognition validates our unwavering commitment to responsible water management and reflects the dedication of our entire team. Sustainability is a core component that informs our long-term vision for all areas of operation, as we ensure continued service to over 12 million people globally.”
In addition to its ‘A’ rating for Water, Manila Water maintained a ‘B’ score in its climate assessment, further demonstrating its commitment to addressing interconnected environmental challenges. Their consistent climate rating highlights their proactive approach to upholding the evolving corporate transparency standards, particularly as CDP’s expanded platform in 2024 aligns with the ISSB Climate-related Disclosures Standard.
Manila Water is committed to delivering sustainable and dependable water services while actively supporting the shift to a low-carbon economy. In addition to helping its customers and the environment, this CDP designation provides further incentive to keep developing and enhancing its water security and climate change efforts, thereby establishing a standard for corporate responsibility in the Philippines.
