The Fair Finance Guide International Methodology is based on existing international standards and conventions as well as a range of other widely accepted guidelines in areas pertaining to responsible businesses. The thematic areas that Fair Finance Philippines has focussed on are the eight core themes: Climate Change; Corruption; Gender Equality; Human Rights; Labor Rights; Nature; Taxes; and Transparency & Accountability, and the three that are deemed important within the Philippine context: Financial Inclusion; Consumer Protection; and Arms.

The Fair Finance Philippines 2024 Bank Policy Assessment, launched in March 15, 2026, highlights important progress made by some banks, but also reveals critical gaps (e.g., transparency and accountability theme) that still need to be addressed. Strengthening responsible finance policies is key to ensuring that the banking sector supports sustainable development while protecting people and the planet.
