Allianz PNB Life teams up with United City Football Club

Tweet

Allianz PNB Life has partnered with United City Football Club (UCFC) for the upcoming AFC Champions League and the 2021 Philippine Football League (PFL), the top football league in the country.

CEO Alex Grenz and CMO Gino Riola proudly show off the jerseys for the Allianz-sponsored UCFC team.

The professional football club based in New Clark City, Tarlac announced its partnership with the major life insurance brand last June 16.

“From football to drone racing, Allianz has long been an active force behind all sorts of athletes across the world. Through this latest partnership with the UCFC, Allianz PNB Life aims to extend that tradition to the Philippines and the Asian region,” said CEO Alexander Grenz.

Globally, Allianz is best known for having seven state-of-the-art stadiums to its name. Among these are Allianz Stadium in Turin, which has seated over 6 million Juventus Football Club fans since 2011, and the Allianz Riviera in Nice, one of its greenest structures to date.

Last January, Allianz officially signed on to be the eight-year Worldwide Insurance Partner for Olympic & Paralympic Movements. It will begin its stint at the Tokyo 2020 Olympic Games, where it will support over 11,000 athletes and their families and continue to champion sustainable development.

As the exclusive jersey partner of the UCFC, Allianz PNB Life will be featured on the home and away versions of the limited edition AFC Champions League kits, as well as in the fan-designed PFL uniforms and all replica merchandise shirts.

Eric Gottschalk holds up the Allianz-sponsored jersey beside the AFC Champions League banner.

“It is a great win to have a leading global brand with a strong reputation engage in long-term sports partnership and that football could receive the same kind of support here in the Philippines–even amidst a pandemic,” said Eric M. Gottschalk, President and Co-founder of United City Football Club.

He hopes that with the steady rise of the sport in the country, Allianz’ sponsorship could get other brands to support local and regional football too.

“Allianz proudly celebrates human achievement through sport and innovation. Inspiring millions with the stories and feats of our athletes sets the pace for a world that is more active, united, and inclusive,“ said Grenz.

Durex strengthens PPE campaign to help address STI and HIV incidence in the Philippines

Tweet

With over a year in lockdown, we find ourselves still in the midst of the pandemic, cautious yet with a glint of optimism with the COVID-19 vaccine roll-out. Raising awareness of safe sex and sexually-transmitted diseases has become more relevant as the Philippines currently records 29 cases per day as of January 2021 according to the Department of Health (DOH). The agency has tagged HIV as a continuing public threat and has called for the continued cooperation and collaboration of all local communities, civil society organizations, key stakeholders, and the government in jointly addressing this pressing matter.

As part of its mission to protect Filipinos from the threats of sexually transmitted diseases such as HIV and AIDS, Durex continues to promote the importance of using proper protection during sexual intercourse through education and awareness programs. Durex carries on with its own impactful initiatives under its Protection and Preparedness Education (PPE) campaign.

Remaining as steadfast and driven as ever this 2021—despite the lingering challenges—Durex pursues its advocacy of raising awareness on the importance of condom use as means to help stop the HIV epidemic and the spread of sexually transmitted infections (STIs) in the country.

“During these times, we cannot afford to let our guard down,” says Matt Davis, Reckitt Philippines Marketing Director. “Just as COVID-19 remains to be of critical importance, so too are STIs and HIV. Durex will continue to do our share as a proactive private sector partner in building awareness and educating the public on the importance of protection.”

Thus, Durex will be continuing its donations to organizations including Love Yourself with which the brand has an ongoing full-year partnership, and the Commission on Population and Development (POPCOM), The Red Whistle, and the United Nation (UN) Women.

This Pride Month, Durex is one with the LGBTQ+ community in expressing and exploring their sex, sexuality, and gender identity with the ‘Wide open to love’ campaign. The campaign is aimed at empowering everyone to accept and celebrate their most authentic self while recognizing that the continuing HIV epidemic will end by using protection so that people can truly express their most authentic self.

Teleperformance Philippines celebrates diversity and inclusion through TP Pride

Tweet

 

Teleperformance Philippines aims to be outspoken allies in support of Pride Month through recognizing the contributions and influence of the LGBTQ+ community. As part of its 25th Anniversary, Teleperformance Philippines is celebrating TP Pride, as it seeks to strengthen employee engagement and promote a diverse and inclusive culture through month-long festivities.

TP Pride is an initiative that kickstarted in 2018 that sought to raise awareness and educate Teleperformance employees about the experiences of LGBTQ+ individuals. Teleperformance aims to go all-out despite the ongoing pandemic by inaugurating a group of inspiring, formidable representatives of the LGBTQ+ community as the Pride Council tasked to lead the activities they have lined up for Pride Month.

Taking their advocacy to the workplace, Teleperformance will produce a forum called ‘Queeries: Leaders’ Discussion on LGBT Mental Health and Inclusion,’ guest-starring organizations such as Your Millennial Psychologist, Psychological Association of the Philippines Special Interest Group, Philippine Financial & Inter-Industry Pride, and Philippine LGBT COC, where they aim to educate leaders, decision makers, and LGBTQ+ colleagues on the value in creating and maintaining LGBTQ+ inclusive practices in the company.

Part of their efforts in pushing gender diversity in the workplace is the TP Traiblazer Podcast where special episodes feature TP Pride leaders and guests to share their views on LGBTQ+ relationships and Transgender inclusion. Along with this is the TPTV Pride Special Series inviting Teleperformance’s LGBTQ+ employees to provide resourceful insights on LGBTQ+ Pop Culture.

Teleperformance stands firm with the LGBTQ+ community through the Humanizing SOGIE and Faces of TP Pride digital flipbook displayed on various sites, exhibiting the profiles of SOGIE and TP Pride advocates.

Lastly, to help LGBTQ+ communities in distress, Teleperformance will host ‘TP Pride 4 Pride Challenge’, an online fundraiser to raise money for their chosen LGBTQ+ foundation. The funds will be used to provide 100 care packages composed of sanitary kits, masks, and food to support our LGBTQ+ friends in need.

“Here at Teleperformance, we strive to create a diverse and inclusive environment for our employees,” says Jeffrey Johnson, Senior Vice President for Human Capital Resource Management. “This year’s Pride Month celebration is just the beginning of a stronger, deeper year-long commitment to promote this advocacy in various branches of the company,” he continued.

Teleperformance will undertake an active cycle of inclusivity through consistent orientation and induction of the developing trends in the LGBTQ+ community. Teleperformance leaders also commit to uphold monthly participation in TP Pride activities like SOGIE sensitivity sessions, SOGIE 101 e-learning courses, and TP Tribe mentorship program, among others.

Teleperformance has always been a fervent advocate of diversity. As a member of the Philippine Financial and Inter-Industry Pride, they pledge to foster a safe and inclusive industry for the LGBTQ+ community. Last December 2020, Teleperformance partnered with SPARK Philippines, which pioneered the Humanizing SOGIE Exhibit. Strengthening their commitment for a safer and inclusive workplace, Jeffrey Johnson also joined a panel of distinguished HR professionals in a webinar hosted in 2020 by the Society for Human Resource Management, the world’s largest HR Organization, to address unconscious bias and how to bring about change within the organization.
