D.M. Wenceslao stays in ATRAM SDG fund for fourth year
D.M. WENCESLao and Associates, Inc. (DMW) has been included in the ATRAM Philippine Sustainable Development and Growth Fund for 2026, marking its fourth consecutive year in the fund’s portfolio.
“Inclusion in the ATRAM SDG Fund for the fourth consecutive year affirms that sustainability is not peripheral to DMW’s strategy, it is integral to how we create value,” DMW Chief Executive Officer Delfin Angelo “Buds” Wenceslao said in a statement on Tuesday.
The ATRAM Philippine Sustainable Development and Growth Fund selects 20 Philippine Stock Exchange-listed firms based on their alignment with the United Nations’ Sustainable Development Goals after screening about 100 companies through an internal evaluation process.
The fund has outperformed the benchmark Philippine Stock Exchange index (PSEi) since its launch, reflecting investor interest in sustainability-linked investments.
By the end of 2025, when the PSEi declined by 7.3%, the fund posted a 3% return, outperforming the benchmark by 10.3%.
DMW’s inclusion was attributed to its renewable energy use, labor practices, and governance policies. The company is the master developer and primary owner of Aseana City, a mixed-use development in Metro Manila.
“Aseana City was built with long-term resilience and responsible development at its core. As capital markets increasingly recognize the link between sustainability and performance, DMW remains committed to raising standards across governance, environmental stewardship, and inclusive growth,” Mr. Wenceslao said.
The company said its sustainability efforts focus on five areas: quality of life, environmental management, governance and ethics, labor practices, and economic development.
Shares in D.M. Wenceslao & Associates fell by 4.62% to close at P4.95 each on Tuesday. — Alexandria Grace C. Magno
