THE INTERNATIONAL Association of Business Communicators Philippines (IABC Philippines) has partnered with the Makati Business Club (MBC) for the Triple “P” awards that seek to recognize the sustainability initiatives of companies.
IABC Philippines said in a statement that as part of the partnership, MBC members are encouraged to participate and submit their entries for the awards. They will also gain access to speakers and resource persons who could share insights on sustainability.
MBC members will also be invited to nominate individuals as evaluators for the Triple “P” awards.
IABC Philippines, in collaboration with Deloitte Philippines, initiated the Triple “P” ESG (environment, social, and governance) awards for people, planet, and progress that aim to recognize companies that go beyond mere compliance and quantitative data.
The platform also provides businesses with an opportunity to share best practices and learn from industry leaders across various sectors.
“Recognizing outstanding achievements in corporate sustainability and responsible business practices through the Triple ‘P’ awards is a significant milestone in being the very first ESG focused award initiated by the Philippine chapter of the IABC,” IABC Philippines President Belle Tiongco said.
“The ambition for IABC Philippines is to be a thought leader in this category. ESG is one area where strategic communication is necessary and which, we believe will pose many challenges for organizations and their communication practitioners,” she added.
Meanwhile, IABC Philippines said the partnership with MBC emphasizes the importance of communication in promoting sustainability and corporate social responsibility within the Philippine business landscape.
“As an organization dedicated to setting the standard of excellence in the field of business communications, IABC wishes to emphasize the integral role that ESG reporting plays in integrating sustainable value creation into the core strategies of businesses,” IABC Philippines Sustainability Committee Chairperson Melody M. Del Rosario said.
“We are thrilled to join forces with the MBC for the Triple ‘P’ ESG awards. This collaboration will undoubtedly enhance the visibility and impact of these awards, and we look forward to celebrating the remarkable sustainability journeys of outstanding companies in the country,” she added. — Revin Mikhael D.
