The Philippines has officially joined the Ocean Centers initiative that promotes responsible business practices.
In a statement, the Global Compact Network Philippines (GCNP), a local network of the United Nations Global Compact which brings together 65 participants from leading corporations, small and medium enterprises and non-government organizations, said the participants were strategically positioned to tackle regional maritime safety challenges and aims to foster collaboration among governments, industry leaders, and maritime communities.
The project was launched on July 10 at the Aboitiz Tech Space, Asian Institute of Management, in Makati City in collaboration with Lloyd’s Register Foundation.
