Filinvest at 70: Giving Back through Loaves X Fish

-


10,000 meals pledged to support communities in need

Filinvest employees actively volunteer at Loaves X Fish, coming together on weekends to help prepare meals for beneficiaries.

Filinvest Group’s 70th anniversary was made more meaningful during the partners’ event on September 17 with a gesture of giving. For every guest in attendance, 70 meals were pledged by Filinvest to the Loaves X Fish Foundation, amounting to a total of 10,000 meals, for those most in need.

In line with its mission of Fighting Hunger and Feeding Hope, Loaves X Fish Foundation, Inc. operates a charity kitchen that provides free hot meals  for the poor, abandoned, marginalized and forgotten. Since opening its doors in Feb. 2024, the kitchen has served over 325,000 meals with the support of its  donors, its more than 1,700 volunteers and in partnership with 30 parishes and NGOs.

Filinvest employees join the Loaves X Fish charity kitchen in Alabang, Muntinlupa, supporting meal preparation for beneficiaries.

Filinvest employees have been part of this effort from the beginning, regularly joining other volunteers in the kitchen to prepare food for distribution. Their involvement reflects a culture of service that runs deep within the Group and its employees.

“Filinvest’s 70th year is not only a celebration of our journey but also an opportune time to remind ourselves of our social responsibility. Supporting Loaves X Fish allows us to honor our partners while extending care to communities that need it most,” said Ysmael V. Baysa, Filinvest Development Corp. Chief Operating Officer.

What began in a Quiapo shophouse seventy years ago has grown into one of the biggest and most diverse business groups in the country, but the heart of Filinvest remains the same: to uplift lives and create opportunities. Through this initiative with Loaves X Fish, the Group celebrates its past while reaffirming its commitment to shaping a better future for the Filipino people.

Established in 1955, the Filinvest Group is one of the Philippines’ most diversified conglomerates, with businesses in real estate, banking and financial services, power and utilities, hospitality, and sugar.

  How SM minimizes landfill impact The SM Waste-Free Future initiative endeavors to reduce waste generation and increase the rate of diversion. It is not “out of sight, out of mind”; landfills are not just eyesores in remote areas, but they also pose a significant health risk to the communities around them and emit a substantial amount of greenhouse gases from decaying food waste. The RDC, or Recyclable, Disposable, and Compostable bins at SM Supermalls, are not only for show but serve as the start of the journey to achieve a net-zero landfill and beyond. SM has recycled 130,250kg of its internal non-essential documents through its bulk paper recycling program. SM’s environmental programs, such as the monthly Trash to Cash recycling market, continue to support communities towards sustainable living.
