After years of implementing social initiatives by its various companies, the Ayala group consolidates its numerous development projects into one cohesive program: Ayala Social Initiatives.
The Ayala group of companies—Ayala Corporation, Ayala Land Inc., Ayala Foundation, Bank of the Philippine Islands, Globe Telecom, Manila Water Company, Integrated Microelectronics, Inc., and Ayala Automotive Corporation—harnesses its strengths and resources in a concerted effort to effect change on three critical development areas: entrepreneurship, environment and education.
These three areas form the pillars of the Ayala Social Initiatives and are the expressions of its social responsibility and commitment to poverty reduction and national development.
Education
We help improve the life of our nation by raising the quality of education of our youth. Over the years, we have strengthened our commitment to education by building schoolhouses, providing scholarships and innovative learning materials and training.
Environment
We seek to ensure sustainable living amidst progress by caring for the environment through reforestation programs, clean air and clean water campaigns and measures to conserve energy. We seek to promote effective solid waste management in our offices, buildings, business centers, commercial centers, villages and host communities. We remain committed to play a significant role in maintaining, conserving and protecting the country's natural resources especially in areas where we operate.
Entrepreneurship
We believe that encouraging entrepreneurship is critical to national development. We nurture the dreams of many enterprising Filipinos—from our mall merchants and service providers to microfinance institutions and small entrepreneurs—by providing them with the skills and opportunities to build up their livelihood. We continue to explore innovative business solutions and harness synergy among our companies and partner institutions to facilitate the growth of our entrepreneurial culture.
