A Commitment to Quality
ALI’s dedication to quality is evident in its diverse portfolio, where strategic planning, cutting-edge technology, and ongoing innovation are central principles.
The construction arm of ALI, Makati Development Corporation (MDC), was recently awarded the Recognition for Mastery in Quality Management by the Department of Trade and Industry.
This honor, part of the 26th Philippine Quality Award (PQA) Assessment Cycle, makes MDC the first construction company in the country to achieve this prestigious recognition. The PQA represents the highest level of national recognition for exemplary organizational performance and is key to the National Action Agenda for Productivity, aiming to boost economic growth amidst global challenges.
The Azuela Cove Seawall project highlights MDC’s commitment to innovation and sustainability. By employing Design for Modular Construction (DfMC), the project addresses flood prevention and ensures timely completion. This achievement earned MDC the Infrastructure Category award at the Philippine Excellence in Concrete Construction Awards for the fourth consecutive year. MDC will represent the Philippines at the 2024 American Concrete Institute’s Excellence in Concrete Construction Awards.

Moreover, Ayala Land received top honors in the Sustainable Asia and Best CSR categories at the Asian Excellence Awards and was recognized for its sustainability reporting at this year’s Asia Integrated Reporting Awards. These honors reflect ALI’s commitment to transparency and accountability in its sustainability initiatives.
Fostering Organizational Development
Employee engagement and well-being are priorities at Ayala Land, which was recently recognized at the Philippines’ Best Employer Brand Awards. This accolade highlights the company’s innovative human capital management practices.

Chief Finance Officer and Chief Compliance Officer Augusto D. Bengzon and Head of Investor Relations Michael Anthony L. Garcia also received individual accolades, further cementing ALI’s reputation as a leader in investor relations.
In the latest FIABCI Philippines Property and Real Estate Excellence Awards, Ayala Land’s subsidiaries Avida Land won Gold for its Northdale Settings Alviera and Avida Towers Atria developments. These accolades add to Ayala Land’s multiple wins at the Asia Pacific Property Awards and the Titan Property Awards, among others, that recognize Ayala Land’s impact on the property sector, solidifying its status as a leader in innovation and sustainability.
These individual and collective recognitions are a testament to ALI’s commitment to excel across all aspects of its operations.
