Pacific Place, Hong Kong – Listed natural resource development company Nickel Asia Corporation (NAC) was conferred a silver citation in the Best Managed – Basic Materials Category during the 29th FinanceAsia Awards Gala in Hong Kong on June 17, 2025.
This marks the second time NAC was recognized in the said category. Previously, it won a gold citation and was the first and only company in the Philippines with interests in mining to win the category in 2023.
“This is inspiring because it comes at the midst of our transformation from being the largest nickel mining operation in the Philippines to becoming a natural resources operator not only in the Philippines, but also in our region,” said NAC SVP for Sustainability, Risk, Corporate Affairs, and Communications Jose Bayani Baylon.
The winners of the awards are chosen based on nominations from financial investors and analysts throughout Asia.
According to FinanceAsia, the awards serve as a benchmark of Asia’s best companies based on corporate behavior and exemplary performance in their respective categories.
Founded in 1996, FinanceAsia is Asia Pacific’s premier capital markets publication that provides news, analysis, and insights into the financial markets of the region.
