Ayala Corporation is celebrating its 190th anniversary this year. From a humble distillery in 1834, Ayala has evolved into one of the largest and most diversified conglomerates in the Philippines—transforming industries, challenging the status quo, and bringing innovations that contribute to the nation’s social and economic agenda.

For almost two centuries, Ayala has lived out its purpose of building businesses that enable people to thrive. It has aligned itself with the development needs of the country, resulting in a meaningful presence in real estate, banking, digital solutions, and power. It likewise has a growing presence in healthcare and logistics as well as investments in industrial technologies, water, education, and technology ventures. Its social responsibility arm, Ayala Foundation, focuses on making communities productive, creative, self-reliant, and proud to be Filipino.

As a group, Ayala aims to meet the Filipinos’ evolving demands by providing practical solutions that balance quality and affordability. It has ventured into areas that touch on the basic needs of Filipinos—from building sustainable communities throughout the country, to widening access to financial services, improving connectivity, providing clean potable water, and expanding beyond our shores to cater to the needs of a globalized economy.

In recent years, Ayala has diversified into sectors that are going through important social and economic transformation and are critical to sustaining our country’s economic progress—industrial technologies and mobility, hard infrastructure through power and transport, and social infrastructure through healthcare and education.

As it celebrates its 190th anniversary this year, Ayala looks back at the successes of the past and looks forward to a more meaningful future together with its various stakeholders, including customers, whose trust and loyalty have inspired the company to do more for the greater good.
