Sustainability reporting in the Philippines is no longer a voluntary exercise. It is a strict regulatory mandate.

With the introduction of SEC Memorandum Circular No. 16, Series of 2025, businesses must now align their sustainability disclosures with PFRS S1 and S2. Falling behind on these standards exposes your organization to severe financial penalties, operational disruptions, and restricted access to vital capital markets.

However, proactive alignment provides a distinct strategic advantage. In our latest article, Atty. Mary Christine S.C. Florete outlines the critical risks of non-compliance and shares actionable insights to protect your enterprise:

Conduct comprehensive compliance and emissions data audits
Strengthen internal training and data management systems
Secure a strategic legal partnership to navigate complex assurance requirements

Global conflict can disrupt supply chains and strain contracts. Under Article 1174 of the Civil Code, force majeure protects businesses only when true impossibility, not just increased cost, prevents contract performance.

Understanding this distinction is critical for managing risk during global disruptions.

Article 1174 of the Civil Code protects businesses only when contract performance is truly impossible, not merely unprofitable, due to force majeure.

Courts require proof of genuine impossibility, not just financial hardship.

- Industry-specific impacts vary: in fuel and petroleum, price spikes seldom qualify as force majeure; in imports, physical blockades offer stronger legal grounds; in construction, material delivery delays may justify extensions, but rising costs do not.

- Fuel and Petroleum: Price spikes typically do not excuse performance under force majeure.

- Imports and Trade: Physical blockades and embargoes may justify non-performance, if notice and mitigation requirements are met.

- Construction and Infrastructure: Material delivery delays can warrant extensions, but rising costs alone are insufficient.

Enforcement is arbitration’s true test.

The survey confirms high voluntary compliance, particularly in private disputes, while acknowledging added complexity when sovereign entities are involved.

For cross-border commerce, the enforceability framework remains a decisive structural advantage.

How does your organization leverage the structural advantages of arbitration to protect its global interests?

Public-private partnerships in the Philippines have evolved.

The new PPP Code goes beyond the old BOT model. Joint ventures and lease agreements are now clearly recognized, giving projects more flexibility from the start.

Choosing the right setup comes down to value: who carries the risk, who can manage it best, and what the project actually needs. A strong feasibility study points the way.

Get the structure right, and projects move faster and deliver better public service under one clear legal framework.
