West Zone concessionaire Maynilad Water Services, Inc. has received the Platinum Accreditation from Investors in People (IiP), the highest distinction for excellence in people management.
Maynilad is the first and only water utility in the Philippines to earn this recognition, underscoring its commitment to fostering a high-performing, purpose-driven, and people-centered organization.
“This Platinum accreditation is a testament to how far we’ve come in building a people-centric organization. It affirms that our leadership and culture of accountability position Maynilad as a benchmark for excellence in the water industry,” said Maynilad president and CEO Ramoncito S. Fernandez.
Under the IiP framework, organizations are assessed across nine key indicators of success. Maynilad earned the top rating in seven areas, including leadership, values, empowerment, capability-building, and sustainable success—showcasing how its people strategy drives overall business performance.
On top of internal operations, the accreditation reflects how Maynilad’s culture of innovation, adaptability, and accountability translates into improved service for millions of customers across the West Zone.
With this achievement, Maynilad joins more than 50,000 IiP-accredited organizations across 66 countries, setting a new benchmark for the Philippine water sector.
Maynilad is the largest private water concessionaire of the Metropolitan Waterworks and Sewerage System (MWSS), serving parts of Manila, Quezon City, Makati, Caloocan, Pasay, Parañaque, Las Piñas, Muntinlupa, Valenzuela, Navotas, and Malabon in Metro Manila, as well as several areas in Cavite.
