In the energy and sustainability sector, many Filipino organizations and companies have been recognized for the work they do.

From far-flung communities to large-scale projects, these awardees are proving that sustainable programs are key to driving growth and improving quality of life across the country.

Standout Awardees

These standout Filipino organizations earned well-deserved recognition at the ACES Awards 2026, further fueling their mission to uplift communities and drive sustainable growth.
