P&A Grant Thornton unveils inaugural Sustainability Report

IN a landmark move, P&A Grant Thornton released its inaugural Sustainability Report, signaling a shift from compliance-based operations to purpose-driven leadership. Unveiled by Chief Sustainability Officer Chris Ferareza on June 26, 2025, the report reflects the firm’s commitment to environmental, social, and governance (ESG) principles — within its operations and across the broader business ecosystem.

“This report is more than a document,” said Ferareza. “It reflects our journey and the values we stand for.”

Though its sustainability journey began earlier, the firm formally launched its efforts in 2022 by asking: What legacy do we want to leave? That question sparked internal transformation — through energy-efficient practices, waste reduction, and employee engagement — and led to the creation of a dedicated sustainability services practice to support clients navigating ESG challenges.

The report arrives at a time when sustainability is no longer optional. With the Philippines among the world’s most climate-vulnerable nations, firms like P&A Grant Thornton play a vital role in shaping sustainable business practices.

More than a collection of metrics, the report is a call to action — for collaboration, innovation, and shared responsibility.

This milestone is just the beginning. The firm aims to deepen its efforts, track progress, and lead by example as professional services evolve to meet the demands of a more resilient, inclusive future.
