Resorts World Manila (RWM) recently received the Asia Responsible Enterprise Award (AREA) for Social Empowerment for its LOVE Dish Project during the 2018 International CSR Summit held at the Marriott Grand Ballroom.
The LOVE Dish Project was one of RWM’s CSR initiatives for 2017. By putting together Filipinos’ love for food, celebrities, and charity, the project gave RWM members and guests the opportunity to experience the culinary expertise of select celebrity chefs while allowing them to contribute to the greater community.
Seven celebrity chefs, led by former MTV Asia VJ Donita Rose, developed new recipes that were donated to RWM for inclusion in the menus of its signature restaurants. Proceeds of every order from the LOVE Dish lineup were donated to three partner charities: COR Foundation, Right Start Foundation, and the Pasay Social and Welfare Development Department (PSWD).
It’s a great honor to be recognized by one of the foremost business organizations in Asia,” says Stephen Reilly, COO for RWM. “This is actually the third time that we’ve received an AREA for our CSR initiatives and it’s a huge encouragement and validation for the work we do in helping our communities win.”
The AREA is an annual awards ceremony that recognizes and honors Asian businesses that champion sustainable and responsible entrepreneurship. It highlights the sincere and sustained commitment of corporate leaders to ethical and responsible business practices.
