NAC is involved in both resource extraction and power generation, the sector which dominated this year’s list, accounting for nearly a third of the list’s total revenue.

“We are honored to be recognized among Southeast Asia’s top performing companies,” said NAC President & CEO Martin Antonio Zamora.

“NAC’s inclusion in the Fortune 2025 Southeast Asia 500 reflects our strategic focus on natural resource development, the hard work and dedication of our people, and the critical role that we play in the supply chain for clean energy,” Zamora adds.

NAC’s inclusion in the list marks its growing prominence in the region’s critical minerals sector driven by the global demand for nickel in clean energy technologies.

To date, NAC is the Philippines’ largest producer of lateritic nickel ore with seven operating nickel mines. It also has a 10-percent stake in the Taganito HPAL project and a rapidly growing stake in clean energy through its subsidiary, Emerging Power Inc.

Fortune is an independently owned global multi-platform media company that measures corporate performance through various benchmarks in regions across the world.
