SEC green equity guidelines out
Manila Bulletin
|September 26, 2025
The Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) has launched its green equity guidelines, the first of its kind in Southeast Asia, as it continues to advance sustainable finance in the region.
On Tuesday, Sept. 23, the commission issued SEC Memorandum Circular (MC) No. 13, series of 2025, outlining the guidelines on Philippine green equity.
This forms part of a series of sustainable finance frameworks issued by the SEC to expand the capital markets in sustainable growth and development, complementing the P1.02-trillion sustainable finance fixed-income market.
“The issuance of the SEC green equity guidelines is a game-changing initiative that will help develop the capital market not only by boosting liquidity but also by supporting our climate goals,” SEC Chairman Francis Lim said.
