Tweet

Grab PH drivers and riders, and everyday heroes from Malolos Bulacan received POVA Neo smartphones at TECNO Mobile’s recently-concluded CSR events.

Staying true to its commitment to bring innovative and high-performing smartphones to emerging markets, and providing support to Filipinos, one community at a time, premium smartphone and AIoT brand, TECNO Mobile, recently concluded its first couple of CSR activities in the Philippines for 2022. These events are part of TECNO’s ongoing CSR program, which kicked off in 2021 with the City of Manila, the Ina ng Lupang Pangako Parish in Payatas, and the scholars of Project Malasakit as its beneficiaries.

The project is in line with the launch campaign of POVA Neo, TECNO Mobile’s latest smartphone offering, which celebrates everyday heroes who power on with their day-to-day tasks in order to serve the community. For this year’s CSR activities, TECNO Mobile partnered with Grab PH, plus a few of the country’s up and coming content creators, to reach out to local communities once again, and inspire people and make a difference. Through this initiative the brand also hoped to motivate more people to participate in community outreach programs, and make them see that it isn’t about the size of the donation, but the sincerity to help others.

TECNO Mobile Gives Back to Grab PH Riders and Drivers

Grab PH riders and drivers have been lauded as true heroes of the pandemic over the last two years, helping make day-to-day life easier for thousands of Filipinos by making things accessible, even from home. These drivers face various challenges each day they spend on the road, but they never stop moving, and continue to provide their much-needed services to the community.

Recognizing their efforts, TECNO Mobile celebrates the everyday contributions of Grab PH by giving back to the company’s hardworking drivers and delivery riders. The meaningful collaboration between TECNO Mobile and Grab PH is reflective of the positive message that the POVA Neo campaign aims to impart

Grab PH’s Papugay Awardees received a brand new TECNO Pova Neo smartphone that will help them navigate the busy streets of Metro Manila and power them all day long.

BRIA Homes Inaugurates Its New Headquarters in Las Piñas

Tweet

Leading real estate developer BRIA Homes recently opened another corporate headquarters situated on the 8th floor of Vista Mall in Las Piñas, a propitious milestone that marks the company’s exemplary growth and achievements in the housing industry.

BRIA’s new home office is at Alabang-Zapote Road, smack-dab in the highly urbanized city of Las Piñas

BRIA’s new home office is at Alabang-Zapote Road, smack-dab in the highly urbanized city of Las Piñas. Located in the southern fringes of Metro Manila, Las Piñas is considered the gateway to the Calabarzon (Cavite, Batangas, Laguna, Rizal, and Quezon) areas and is close to some of the fastest-growing communities in the metro. Quite expectedly, therefore, BRIA Homes’ new headquarters is virtually a “next door” neighbor to great commercial centers, retail outlets, and office blocks. Quiet and secure, low-density residential enclaves are also nearby, making it a prime location for BRIA’s executives and workforce alike.

BRIA Homes distinguishes itself as one of the Philippines’ top property developers through its sheer drive-in offering superior quality homes of choice to as many hard-working Filipinos as possible. With a diverse portfolio of horizontal developments and vertical villages nationwide, BRIA serves the housing needs of aspiring Filipino homeowners. After all, comfortable and beautiful home is essential to everyone who dreams of living a fulfilling and meaningful life.

From starting families looking to own their first house to young professionals and entrepreneurs seeking comfortable living spaces and to Overseas Filipino Workers who wish to invest in property, these comprise the vast market of home seekers that BRIA constantly engages with. And now they are even more inspired to work on their corporate, marketing, and sales goals from their sleek new home base in Las Piñas.

IKEA inspires and enables sustainable life at home

The Swedish brand launches sustainability product range in the PH

Manila – In support of its vision of creating a better everyday life at home, IKEA recently launched its sustainability range—a wide variety of affordable, quality home furnishings that will help the many Filipinos achieve a sustainable life at home.

While the concept of sustainable living is often viewed as challenging, unpractical, and expensive, IKEA simplifies it. “For us, a sustainable life at home is affordable and attainable through small actions that will eventually create a big impact on home life and on our Earth,” said Georg Platzer, Store Manager of IKEA Pasay City. “At IKEA we believe that sustainable living cannot be a luxury for the few. It must be affordable for the many.”

With more than 2,000 products that help people save energy and water, reduce waste, conserve resources, or settle into home furnishings made from renewable and recycled material, 57 solutions were specifically chosen and designed for Filipinos.

A practical, affordable, and sustainable life at home

Anchored on the principle that anyone can live sustainably, IKEA presents simple solutions so that the many Filipinos can make small, affordable, but still very meaningful actions that have a positive impact on the environment:

Furniture that lasts longer.

IKEA presents furniture that grows as a family grows. Rather than needing to be replaced, pieces can be supplemented with modules as needed. Products that can adapt as needs change are even more useful. For example, the PAHL desk, an adjustable table that helps avoid the cost and hassle of buying a new desk as your child grows.

Products that use less resources.

A pressure compensating aerator is standard across the whole IKEA range of taps and showers. This reduces the amount of water coming out by up to 50% but keeps the flow at the desired level. LED light bulbs are also standard across all IKEA products. Those use up to 85% less energy—this makes them planet friendly—and lasts 20 times longer than incandescent bulbs.

Products that help reduce waste.

The world is using and wasting resources more than ever. By practicing some small and smart changes at home like adhering to a waste sorting system, we can help the world’s waste problem. For instance, the SORTERA recycling bin allows you to recycle and compost, significantly reducing waste at home.

Reusable products.

From the trusty and durable FRAKTA bag to the IKEA 365+ food containers, IKEA products are meant to be reused many, many times. Something to look forward to is the STORSTOMMA, a rainbow-colored version of the Swedish retailers’ bestselling carrier bag, coming very soon.

Plant-based foods.

Plant-based foods have a smaller environmental impact than meat and dairy products. The problem is plant-based food often comes at the expense of flavor and texture. That’s not the case with the HUVUDROLL plant ball, a plant-based alternative that’s just as delicious its meat counterpart. The HUVUDROLL is fast becoming a favorite of Filipinos, so be sure to grab them right away because they sell out real quick.

Products made from natural and responsibly sourced materials.

Wood is durable, recyclable, and renewable if grown and used responsibly—It also looks great. Bamboo is another sustainable raw material used in IKEA products. Its strength and stability provide possibilities for construction with thinner elements and boards, resulting in reduced use of material. This saves natural resources and increases savings during transport. Bamboo also filters carbon dioxide, produces oxygen, and has a high growth rate making it extremely sustainable. Aside from wood and bamboo, all the cotton used for IKEA products comes from sustainable sources. In fact, 60% of the IKEA product range already uses renewable materials.

A collection inspired by the surf lifestyle.

Since 2019, IKEA has partnered with the World Surf League, a leading global sports organization for surfers, to develop a new collection inspired by an active lifestyle that’s close to the ocean and conscious of the planet. The KASEBERGA collection, which will be in IKEA Pasay very soon, offers a range of practical, beautifully-designed products that champion sustainability. It was developed with a focus on including more renewable materials like wood, and materials from recycled sources such as polyester.

Much like how its products are catered for the many people, so is the concept of sustainable living. IKEA makes sustainable living at home easier and more affordable than ever with practical and simple solutions that any Filipino can do.

Another way IKEA commits to sustainability is through its Circular Shop. “No visit to IKEA Philippines would be complete without dropping by the Circular Shop where you’ll find returned items, floor samples, end of the range, and discontinued pieces, all at a fraction of their original price. We’re dedicated to giving every piece we make a long and useful a life as possible, and this is one of the ways we’re making sure we do that,” added Platzer.

Teleperformance has just been awarded as one of the Philippines Best Workplaces™ in 2022. This was announced during the virtual reveal that premiered live on Great Place to Work® Philippines via YouTube.

In total, 25 workplaces are ranked as “Philippines Best Workplaces” according to research and consulting firm, Great Place to Work® Philippines.

The Philippines Best Workplaces™ List is highly competitive. Regarded as the global authority on workplace culture, seasoned consultants from Great Place to Work® curate the List using rigorous analytics and confidential employee feedback. Companies are only considered if they are first, a Great Place to Work-Certified™ organization. In the qualifying year of 2021, nearly 100 companies in the Philippines were Great Place to Work-Certified™. (Only companies who attain at least 65% on Great Place to Work® Trust Index© Survey can attain the Certification.)

Great Place to Work® is the only company culture award in the world that selects winners based on how fairly employees are treated and what their workplace experience is like. Companies are assessed on how well they are creating a great employee experience that cuts across race, gender, age, disability status, or any aspect of who employees are or what their role is.

“With the continuous disruptions that companies face, the Best Workplaces in the Philippines remain grounded in their purpose and values. They continue to put their people first. They prioritize the holistic well-being of their employees as fatigue and burnout become more evident in workplaces,” says Antoniette Mendoza-Talosig, Managing Partner of Great Place to Work® Philippines and Principal Consultant of Great Place to Work® ASEAN.

Teleperformance Philippines Chief Operations Officer Joey Marquez underlined the significance of this achievement: "This milestone gives us the perfect opportunity to showcase our values, the Teleperformance culture, and the great work of our people in delivering excellent customer service to our customers, clients, and stakeholders. This recognition further inspires us to create more remarkable experiences for our people – whether they may be working in one of business sites across the country, or in their homes."

Teleperformance said that they will continue to move forward towards their goals while upholding the high standards of being a Best Place to Work™. The company also looks forward to giving back through the Citizen of the World corporate sustainability programs and initiatives. Most of all, Teleperformance will carry on fostering a TP culture that is diverse, equitable, and inclusive for all.

Teleperformance has been certified Great Place to Work® in the Philippines consecutively in the last four years, becoming the first company in the Philippines to achieve this feat. The Trust Index Survey conducted in 2021 by the Great Place to Work® Institute had the highest participation rate among the Teleperformance Philippines employees across all 22 business sites.

During the pandemic, employee initiatives held by Teleperformance were recognized by various sectors such as the Safety Seal Committee certifying Teleperformance business sites that ensure health and safety protocols against COVID-19. Teleperformance also rolled out free COVID-19 vaccination for employees through the TPVac program and currently has a partnership with the government to conduct vaccinations in various Teleperformance Philippines workplaces for employees and their loved ones.

In addition, Teleperformance celebrates diversity and inclusion through empowering both Women and the LGBTQ+ community through their TP Women and TP Pride councils as they raise awareness and educate employees through year-long initiatives.
