UnionBank of the Philippines was named Runner-Up for the Diversity and Inclusion award at the Investors in People (IiP) Philippines Awards 2025, marking the bank’s first recognition at the event for its commitment to an inclusive and empowering workplace.
The honor underscores the bank’s value for diversity, which it upholds through inclusive policies and strong leadership representation.
“We believe our differences are our strength. By crafting policies and programs that reflect the real-life experiences of our people, we build not only a more inclusive workplace—but a more innovative one,” said UnionBank of the Philippines chief human resource officer Michelle Rubio.
Rubio said the belief that inclusive environments drive stronger innovation, engagement and performance is central to the bank’s flagship UMatter initiative.
“This award from Investors in People affirms what we’ve always believed that a culture of inclusion doesn’t just feel right; it performs,” Rubio said.
“We’re honored by the recognition, but even more inspired to keep pushing forward for our people, our partners, and the communities we serve,” she said.
The IiP Awards recognize organizations with best-in-class people management practices that champion the growth, well-being and development of their employees.
