Being a good corporate citizen, SPi Global ensures that it participates in the task of social
amelioration. For many years, it has actively organized CSR projects aimed at education and
youth welfare, working with LGUs, schools and various NGOs to implement different projects
targeting hundreds of beneficiaries. In 2020, SPi Global pivoted from Corporate Social
Responsibility to a Creating Shared Value (CSV) mindset, and aligned its programs with the
UN Sustainable Development Goals (SDG) as applicable. With this strategic change, we look
beyond merely doing good deeds for the community but doing good to create value for the
company, for its beneficiaries and the community as a whole in a sustained manner,
anchored on and supportive of global goals. With the shift to CSV, were able to quickly
expand our project themes and the range of choices of specific project activities that can be
implemented. Moving forward with the UN SDG mindset, reporting CSV performance will
now shoft at the triple bottom line framework (people, planet, profit) for evaluating and
reporting CSV performance.
Aside for working with the communities where we operate in, we also an active participant
of the BPO Industry and a member of good standing at IBPAP, the industry association that
looks after our sector’s welfare. We take part in the association’s various projects to promote
industry development and growth, working with the government’s executive and legislative
branches for industry protection and welfare. Key leaders are well respected industry
resources and pillars. The COVID 19 pandemic highlighted the company’s commitment to
support the industry and its efforts to bring to its members updated information on govern-
ment policies, guidelines and various advisories, through the help of its leaders’ network.
Alongside industry support, the company quickly set itself up for alternative work arrange-
ments so that employees are able to continue working, if they chose to. Measures focused
at employee welfare were implemented. The SPi Global employee cooperative made loan
availments quicker with online processing to help with financial security, plus defraying
at-home, office-related expenses with equipment subsidies. Strict compliance to govern-
ment-mandated health and safety standards ensures enhanced safety in the workplace.
These standards included retrofitting the workplace to the enhanced safety protocols,
ensuring skeletal workforce deployment, and providing near-site/onsite accommodations
with transport options to reinforce .
