At the 9th Global Good Governance Awards, often known as the 3G Awards, which were hosted in Taguig City, the Jollibee Group was recently presented with the “3G Championship Award for Community Development and Philanthropy 2024.”
Jollibee Group received the award from Cambridge International Finance Advisory (Cambridge IFA), a worldwide financial services intelligence organization, for leading initiatives that have improved the community through the Jollibee Group Foundation (JGF), the company’s social development arm. The Jollibee Group’s efforts to improve its business practices in order to support the UN Sustainable Development Goals were also acknowledged by the award.
“We are honored to receive such a prestigious award from Cambridge IFA. This recognizes the hard work that the Jollibee Group Foundation has done through decades – inculcating our knowledge on food to uplift the livelihood of farmers, feeding schoolchildren so they can graduate, and providing thousands of meals in disaster-stricken areas. We share this recognition with our partners in the government, NGOs, and our employee volunteers for getting together to help achieve a wider impact on more communities,” said Ernesto Tanmantiong, President and Chief Executive Officer of Jollibee Group. “We will remain committed to improving our business practices and empowering our employees as we continue to serve great-tasting food and bring the joy of eating to everyone.”
JGF promotes improved access to food by implementing programs on agro-entrepreneurship through its Farmer Entrepreneurship Program and on education through the Busog Lusog Talino Feeding Program and the Access, Curriculum, and Employability (ACE) Scholarship Program. The Foundation also spearheads disaster response efforts through the FoodAID program while working with partner organizations and national government agencies in the Philippines and other countries.
Jollibee Group and JGF also recently partnered with the Department of Trade and Industry for a learning session wherein their leaders imparted business development and management knowledge to micro, small, and medium enterprises.
Additionally, JGF and Jollibee Group strengthened their environmental stewardship efforts by incorporating reforestation and mangrove protection into their CSR initiatives. To improve their collaboration on these projects, they recently inked a Memorandum of Understanding with the Department of Environment and Natural Resources.
3G AWARDEE 2024. On behalf of Jollibee Group and JGF, Jollibee Group Chief Business Officer Joseph Tanbuntiong highlighted in his acceptance speech during the Global Good Governance Awards the company’s goal to help shape various communities through sustainable business practices.
Every year, the 3G Awards program honors social responsibility, openness, and good governance. Numerous organizations and individuals from the corporate world, philanthropic and social sectors, and government and politics from several nations attended. The 3G Awards, which have been staged in various locations across the world for the past nine years, made their debut in Manila this year.
