First Philippine Holdings Corp. bagged a gold award for the company’s maiden entry to the 6th Asia Sustainability Reporting Awards held recently in Singapore by CSRWorks International, a Singapore-based sustainability services firm.
First Philippine Holdings’ 2020 Integrated Report earned the gold or the highest award in the Best Integrated Report (First Time) Category during the exclusive Singapore event held last month that was broadcast live in a virtual setting due to the ongoing pandemic.
ASRA, which is considered the most prestigious international awards for corporate reporting, drew in its latest staging more than 250 senior business leaders and sustainability practitioners from 20 countries and dignitaries from academe, embassies, trade associations and advocacy organizations.
An independent panel of judges reviewed 494 entries received from 17 countries across 19 award categories. Of these entries, 102 companies from 14 countries made it to the finals, while the intensely contested final round produced 39 winners, including a Report of the Year award.
“First Philippine Holdings Corp. report shows exceptional leadership in transparent reporting of its sustainability performance and reflects its readiness for a resilient future,” said Rajesh Chhabara, managing director and founder of CSRWorks.
