Corporate Social Responsibility:

2GO’s Corporate Social Responsibility (CSR) initiatives continue to thrive because of the organization’s allegiance to fulfill this responsibility for the sake of the community it serves in particular and the entire country in general. The management’s unwavering support to CSR initiatives, including a heightened employee volunteerism, are characteristics of every CSR design and initiatives. The efforts were made clearer on the tactical and operational implementation through the Happy People Model launched by the Group’s Human Resources (HR) providing guidance on how every task and program must be hinged in the following elements: 

Happy Body Happy Brain
Happy Relax Happy Soul
Happy Relax Happy Pocket
Happy Society Happy Family 

Most of the CSR activities are still mainly focused on social advocacy, education and environment protection and rehabilitation. The strong partnership between the Labor Management Council and the Group’s HR would always be the framework of programs which would have to do with areas affecting these priority programs. 

In support of the government’s initiatives on environment protection, the Company has embarked on the following activities:
Training on Pollution Control. This is not mere compliance to Occupational Safety & Health provisions, but ensuring a safe work environment for all its employees.
Sea Grass Conservation. This is a tie up with Tuason Development Foundation, Inc. (TDFI) which aims to replenish sea grass meadows in Philippine waters.
Mangrove Rehabilitation Program. This is in partnership with General Santos’ City Environment & Natural Resources Office.
Mangrove Planting. These continuing programs aims to serve as a buffer zone in coast lines against typhoons and tidal waves and help control pollution by serving as a pollution sink, thereby buffering the impact of silt and other pollutants from the terrestrial area. They are also a good habitat for marine and wild animals, breeding ground for fish and crustaceans and nesting and breeding place for birds. This is in partnership with the city government of Zamboanga City.
• Tree Planting in Batad, Iloilo City
• Tree Planting in Opol, Misamis Oriental.
This is in coordination with the Department of Environment & Natural Resources. The Company continues to recognize the importance of education for a better society. Our commitment to support the Department of Education in its Brigada Eskwela program is displayed through the participation of our employees in the following activities:
• Donation of new furniture sets and fire hydrants to Canduman National High School, Central Visayas
• Provision of school supplies to Villakananga Elementary School students in Butuan City. This is a tie-up with PNP CARAGA Region 13.
• Continued support to the Company’s adopted orphanage, Children’s Joy Foundation, an NGO which supports neglected and abandoned children. In the company’s pursuit of its mission to become more responsible corporate citizens, 2GO’s yearly blood-letting activities were participated in by our employees from different offices and sites in support of the various programs of the Philippine Red Cross and the Philippine Children’s Medical Center (PCMC) Pediatric Center. The Company also allowed employees to attend the Standard First Aid & Basic Life Support training which aims to educate and train them about responding to first aid treatment and emergency life support in cases of natural calamities or accidents not only in the work place, but also in their communities. This training was put to test during one emergency situation which happened in one of our Supercat vessels. Using the social media, the passengers commended and thanked the crew and officers of the vessel who, despite suffering from minor injuries, remained calm, helped and ensured the safety firstof all its passengers. It was like a drama in real life with a nurse crew performing a “TRIAGE” and prioritizing the injured. The rapid response of our Cebu Crisis Management Committee was emergency response efficiency in action. We had outreach and feeding programs in Calapan City where we provided the elderly people housed at the Aruga-Kapatid Foundation and in Batad Iloilo City where we participated in the city government’s Great Outdoor Camp Outreach Mission.
The demonstrated commitment by the company makes each employee proud to work for 2GO. Employees have demonstrated increasing willingness and consciousness through their participation in different CSR activities, not as a work obligation but a demonstration of their sincere desire to help and contribute to the society where they belong. 2GO continues to fulfill its responsibility in providing its employees work-life balance and more opportunities for community engagement.
