MPIC joins HRH The Prince of Wales’s A4S Roundtable
Metro Pacific Investments Corporation (“MPIC”), was invited to an exclusive Accounting for
Sustainability (“A4S”) Roundtable on sustainability reporting, hosted by His Royal Highness The Prince of
Wales on 1 March 2022.
MPIC joined the A4S Chief Financial Officers Leadership Network’s new Asia-Pacific Chapter as one of its founding members in December 2021, when HRH The Prince of Wales shared a call to action for global financial leaders: “We simply must seize the current window of opportunity to re-imagine our global systems in a way that puts Nature, People and Planet at the heart of how we operate.”
A GLOBAL SUSTAINABLE MOVEMENT The global CFO Leadership network is a unique group of over 60 CFOs from large organizations representing over US$20.7 trillion in combined total assets, with members having a commercial presence across 200+ countries. Established in 2004 by HRH The Prince of Wales, A4S aims to make sustainable business, business as usual. It brings together CFOs and their teams to develop and scale up adoption of practical approaches which embed social and environmental risk and opportunity into the heart of strategic planning and decision-making processes.
ASIA-PACIFIC CHAPTER LEADERS
MPIC Chief Finance, Risk, and Sustainability Officer Chaye A CabalRevilla, joined the A4S Roundtable with finance leaders from around the world, to shape the convergence and adoption of common sustainability metrics and standards.
She noted, “We at MPIC have taken significant strides towards reinforcing our sustainability thrust and our inclusion in networks such as A4S elevate our knowledge of how best to integrate it into our corporate DNA. Being part of this network under someone as passionate for the cause as HRH The Prince of Wales has further strengthened our purpose to put sustainability at the heart of what we do.”
MANAGING RISK, BUILDING RESILIENCE With the rapid increase of climate and other sustainability-related risks, it is crucial for businesses, particularly in the Asia-Pacific Region, to integrate sustainability into its business operations and strategies.
MPIC’s participation in A4S is aligned with its commitment to contribute to the achievement of the United Nations Sustainable Development Goals, particularly No.17, Partnership for the Goals. <<
