\"Manila<\/a><\/p>\n

Ayala-owned Manila Water Company was listed in the 20 most dynamic and high-growth companies in East Asia by\u00a0the World Economic Forum (WEF). Manila Water provides water collection, treatment, and supply as the private concessionaire of the Metropolitan\u00a0Waterworks and Sewerage Systems (MWSS).<\/p>\n

After formally taking over the operations for the East Zone in 1997 and holding its west water concession in\u00a0Quezon City, the company is now providing water and waste water services to the cities and municipalities of Eastern\u00a0Metro Manila and Rizal Provinces and is now fully operational in Cebu, Clark, Laguna, Boracay and Vietnam.<\/p>\n

In a statement, WEF said that selected Global Growth Companies (GGCs) in East Asia are considered among the\u00a0world\u2019s trailblazers, shapers, and innovators and are fast-growing companies with the potential of becoming global\u00a0economic leaders.<\/p>\n

\u201cThe World Economic Forum is proud to recognize these 20 champions that are at the forefront of driving responsible\u00a0economic growth, job creation, and entrepreneurism in East Asia. We look forward to the active and dynamic role\u00a0they will play at our meeting in Manila, working with the region\u2019s leaders to foster inclusive, sustainable growth in the\u00a0region,\u201d said David Aikman, Managing Director and Head of New Champions at the World Economic Forum.<\/p>\n

Being nominated as a GGC enables companies to join a bigger GGC community of more than 360 companies which\u00a0contributes to the Forum\u2019s meetings and projects, in turn supporting them on their goal of reaching responsible and\u00a0sustainable growth.<\/p>\n

Though represented by a broad cross section of industrial sectors, the 20 nominated East Asian GGCs represent\u00a0share in common a track record in excellence of industry standards in promotion of innovative business practices,\u00a0revenue growth, and demonstration of leadership in corporate citizenship.<\/p>\n

Other selected companies are: Acleda Bank Plc. (Cambodia); WanaArtha Life (Indonesia); LINE Corporation (Japan);\u00a0Kakaku.com (Japan); Hearts United Group Co., Ltd. (Japan); Cross Company Inc. (Japan); Tokushinkai Group\u00a0(Japan); Ferrotec Corporation (Japan); Myan Shwe Pyi Tractors Ltd. (Myanmar); Capital Diamond Star Group\u00a0(Myanmar); Banyan Tree Holdings Ltd.
