Security Bank leads Philippines firms on World’s Best Companies list
Security Bank Corp. has been named the highest-ranked Philippine company in TIME and Statista’s World’s Best Companies 2026, a global ranking based on revenue growth, employee satisfaction and sustainability transparency.
Manila, Philippines — Financial titan Security Bank Corp. has been crowned the top Philippine firm in TIME and Statista’s 2026 World’s Best Companies list, a global ranking that gauges a company’s success through revenue growth, employee satisfaction and sustainability transparency. This accolade places Security Bank among the elite 1,000 companies worldwide, underscoring its strides in business development, workforce engagement, and eco-conscious practices.
The 75th-anniversary year of Security Bank marks an important milestone as it celebrates its position atop the list.
Victor Lee, Security Bank’s president and CEO, expressed profound satisfaction with the recognition, stating, “Being the highest-ranked Philippine company is a meaningful acknowledgment of the strides we’re making.” This commendation reflects the bank’s robust business model, dedication of its employees, and the trust placed by clients in its services. Looking forward, Lee reiterated the bank’s commitment to executing its strategy, growing responsibly, and delivering superior banking experiences to customers.
Employee satisfaction, a pivotal aspect of the ranking, was bolstered by input gathered through extensive surveys. Nerissa Berba, Chief People Officer at Security Bank, emphasized, “What makes this recognition particularly significant is the role our employees played in shaping it.” The ‘You Matter’ employee value proposition serves as the guiding principle for nurturing employee growth, well-being, and success. When employees flourish, customers and the business reap the benefits.
Sustainability transparency, constituting one-third of the overall assessment, evaluates a company’s environmental, social, and governance (ESG) performance and disclosure. Security Bank’s commitment to this cause is evident through its MSCI ESG Rating of ‘A’. John David Yap, the bank’s CFO and chairman of the sustainability committee, commented, “Strong performance and responsible growth must go hand in hand.”
This recognition validates Security Bank’s advancements in governance, transparency, and sustainability, integrating these principles into its risk management, capital allocation, and long-term value creation.
The bank’s number one ranking in the Philippines is a testament to its journey under the BetterBanking initiative. As Security Bank celebrates its 75th anniversary, it continues to set a benchmark in the financial sector, both locally and globally.
