Welcome remarks by Atty. Rudyard Arbolado, Inquirer Print COO, at the 1st Inquirer ESG Edge Impact Awards: Good morning! Magandang umaga po sa inyong lahat. Thank you for joining us today.
On behalf of the Inquirer, it is my great pleasure to welcome all of you to the very first Inquirer ESG Impact Awards. Today, we celebrate 35 outstanding winners—true champions of Environmental, Social, and Governance, or ESG, initiatives.
The Inquirer ESG Impact Awards goes beyond recognition. Rather, it is a platform for positive change showcasing how projects here in the Philippines are creating real and lasting change in our communities.
By honoring your efforts, we hope to set powerful examples that will inspire others—whether large corporations or small enterprises—to take part in this shared mission of building a more sustainable and inclusive future.
The Inquirer ESG Impact Awards is also an occasion to underscore the growing significance of ESG in shaping sustainable enterprises and fostering responsible citizenship. We firmly believe that ESG principles are not only integral to the future of business, but also a cornerstone for achieving long-term success and building a more sustainable and inclusive society.
As a media institution, the role of Inquirer in advancing ESG lies in amplifying your stories and fostering a collaborative community—one that empowers corporate citizens to embrace ESG, exchange best practices, and drive meaningful change.
Together with The Star Media Group of Malaysia and Kompas Gramedia of Indonesia, we have anchored our shared strategy on three fundamental pillars: education, engagement, and community.
