Series of 2023

TO : PUBLICLY-LISTED COMPANIES

SUBJECT : REVISED SUSTAINABILITY REPORTING GUIDELINES FOR


PUBLICLY-LISTED COMPANIES

WHEREAS, the Commission plays an active role in promoting sustainability reporting in the
Philippines through the issuance of SEC Memorandum Circular (MC) No. 4, Series of 2019, also known
as the Sustainability Reporting Guidelines for Publicly-Listed Companies (PLCs) or the SR Guidelines,
which mandated sustainability reporting in the Philippines under a “comply or explain”
approach or that which allowed PLCs to disclose corporate sustainability data, when
available, and provide explanations for items where data is unavailable;

WHEREAS, on 26 June 2023, the International Sustainability Standards Board (ISSB)


issued its inaugural standards, the International Financial Reporting Standards (IFRS) S1 (General
Requirements for Disclosure of Sustainability-related Financial Information) and IFRS S2 (Climate-
related Disclosures), which create a common language for disclosing the effects of climate-
related risks and opportunities on a company’s prospects, and ensure that companies
provide sustainability-related information alongside financial statements, in the same
reporting package1;

WHEREAS, in the exercise of its rule-making powers, the Commission recognizes and
integrates the latest developments in global sustainability reporting frameworks, including the IFRS
S1 and IFRS S2—both of which fully incorporate the recommendations of the Task Force on Climate-
related Financial Disclosures (TCFD)— the United Nations Sustainable Development Goals (UN
SDGs), Global Reporting Initiative (GRI), Sustainability Accounting Standards Board (SASB),
International Integrated Reporting Council (IIRC), and the United Nations Conference on Trade and
Development (UNCTAD) - International Standards of Accounting and Reporting (ISAR) Guidance on
Core Indicators, among others; and

WHEREAS, Section 179 (d) of Republic Act No. 11232, otherwise known as the Revised
Corporation Code of the Philippines, grants the Commission the power to promote corporate
governance and the protection of minority investors, through, among others, the issuance of rules and
regulations consistent with international best practices;

1 https://www.ifrs.org/news-and-events/news/2023/06/issb-issues-ifrs-s1-ifrs-s2/
NOW, THEREFORE, to further promote sustainability reporting, make the same relevant and
useful for Philippine PLCs, and contribute to a robust sustainability reporting framework in the
country, the Commission, in its En Banc meeting on 28 October 2023, resolved to issue the Revised
Sustainability Reporting Guidelines for Publicly-Listed Companies (Revised SR Guidelines) attached
to this Memorandum Circular.

Sustainable practices are shown to lead to company benefits like improved management
systems, a motivated workforce, and sustainable vision, strategy, and business plans. Moreover, the
Revised SR Guidelines serves as an effective tool to encourage companies to adopt sustainable business
practices and attract Environmental, Social, and Governance (ESG) investors in the country’s capital
markets.

The Revised SR Guidelines is intended to help PLCs assess and manage non-financial
performance across Economic, Environmental, and Social aspects of their organization, and enable
PLCs to measure and monitor their contributions towards achieving universal targets of sustainability,
such as the United Nations Sustainable Development Goals, as well as national policies and programs,
such as AmBisyon Natin 2040.

Section I. Sustainability Reporting Format

The Sustainability Reporting (SR) required of PLCs shall be composed of the following:

1. SR Narrative: The PLCs shall submit a narrative sustainability report. The SR Narrative
follows the format under SEC MC No. 4, Series of 2019. The SR Narrative shall be submitted
together with the company’s Annual Report (SEC Form 17-A). It is recommended to have a
one-page Executive Summary/ Highlights of the companies’ sustainability activities,
programs, and projects at the beginning of the report.

2. Sustainability Report (SuRe) Form: The PLCs shall submit their duly answered SuRe Form
through the SEC Electronic Filing and Submission Tool (eFAST), or any other related SEC-
approved/implemented submission tools for easier access, data capture, analytics, and data
management.

The SuRe Form SHALL be submitted in Microsoft Excel format.

The SuRe Form template includes three (3) major parts, to wit:

A. Sustainability and Climate-related Opportunities and Risks Exposures (SCORe);


B. Cross-Industry Standard Metrics (CISM); and
C. Industry-Specific Metrics (ISM).

The PLC MAY also attach its SuRe Form or the details of the Form at the end of the SR Narrative,
in addition to the eFAST submission.
Section II. SuRe Form Submission Process – Mode of Submission

The SuRe Form shall be submitted to the Commission in Microsoft Excel file format, and shall
be done using eFAST through the link: ____________.

The PLCs must ensure that for the Microsoft Excel file, the fields are NOT moved, merged nor
altered when inputting data. Otherwise, the system will not accept the submission. Further
instructions for filing may be accessed on eFAST.

Note that neither signature nor notarization is required for both the SR Narrative and the
SuRe Form. However, it is the board's responsibility to confirm in writing in the SR Narrative that it
has reviewed the accuracy and completeness of the SR submissions.

The SEC will also post on the eFAST website and the official SEC website the step-by-step
guidelines on how to file the SuRe Form using the eFAST.

Section III. Deadline for submission of the SR

The SuRe Form is required to be submitted starting in the year 2024 covering the reporting
year 2023. The SuRe Form covering the reported year shall be submitted through eFAST on or before
April 15 of the following year during the same time as the filing of the PLCs Annual Report (SEC Form
17-A), which is within 105 calendar days from the end of the fiscal year.

The Narrative SR covering the reported year shall be attached as an Annex to the SEC Form 17-
A to be submitted in the following year.

Section IV. Disclosures under the SuRe Form

The SuRe Form shall be composed of mandatory disclosures, unless otherwise indicated.

Section V. SuRe Form Additional Reminders

• The companies must indicate “0” if the disclosure has zero (0) value and indicate “N/A” if the
disclosure is not applicable.
• Note that “0” and “N/A” are not interchangeable.
• The industry classification of the companies must be based on the 2019 Philippine Standard
Industrial Classification (PSIC).
• If the reporting PLC is a holding company, that PLC’s SR must not include subsidiaries that are also
listed. These listed subsidiaries are required to submit a separate and independent SR in
accordance with this MC.
Section VI. Penalty for Failure to Timely Submit SuRe Form and/ or Narrative SR with the
Annual Report

Non-submission, non-attachment, or late submission of the SuRe Form and/ or Narrative SR


shall be subject to the following separate and distinct penalties:

Non-attachment of Non- Late submission4 Incomplete

It must be emphasized that compliance with only one of the requirements (SR Narrative or
SuRe Form) does not amount to compliance with this Memorandum Circular. Thus, penalties for each
infraction listed above are cumulative.

2
The penalty will apply if the non-attachment is more than 30 calendar days from the due date.
3 The penalty will apply if the non-submission is more than 30 calendar days from the due date.
4 The penalty will apply for late submission of either the SR Narrative or the SuRe Form.
Section VII. Transition Period for Compliance

In recognition of the critical need for a relief period for transition, PLCs may comply with
disclosures specified in this Memorandum Circular on a “comply or explain” basis for a period of two
(2) years. Afterwards, mandatory submission of ALL disclosures required by this Memorandum
Circular shall be mandatory and therefore, subject to penalties.

Section VIII. Modification/Amendment

All other circulars, memoranda, notices and implementing rules and regulations that may be
inconsistent with the foregoing provisions shall be deemed modified or amended accordingly.
