SE Asian consortium
The Inquirer group is a member of the Asia ESG Positive Impact Consortium (A-EPIC), which it formed alongside two other leading media organizations in Southeast Asia—Malaysia’s Star Media Group and Indonesia’s KG Media—to advocate for socioeconomic progress and environmental stewardship.
A-EPIC is committed to building a future where sustainability is a cornerstone of thriving communities, guided by a three-fold approach of education, engagement, and community-building. This vision is championed by the Consortium’s brands—Star ESG, KG Media Lestari, and Inquirer ESG Edge.
Since the Consortium’s launch last year, IGC has actively rolled out programs across various platforms designed to engage local communities. At the forefront of this advocacy is ESG Edge, the Inquirer Group’s multiplatform initiative designed to promote awareness and action around ESG principles.
Through compelling storytelling, dynamic forums, and strategic partnerships, the project seeks to advance the Philippines’ sustainability agenda. Over the past year, these initiatives have included publishing in-depth features on ESG topics, hosting insightful talks, and highlighting programs that align with local community values.
