US chamber honors TP’s community efforts in the Philippines
Makati City, Philippines, June 4, 2025 –Global leader in digital business services, TP, has been recognized and awarded with the Gold Award for Community Support and Engagement at the American Chamber of Commerce of the Philippines, Inc. (AmCham) Corporate Social Impact Awards. The recognition spotlights the sustained community efforts of TP’s official corporate social responsibility arm, Citizen of the World (COTW) Foundation, in the Philippines.
AmCham is one of the oldest and most influential business organizations in the country from the time of its founding in 1902. Its annual Corporate Social Impact Awards is an industry cornerstone, recognizing and celebrating outstanding organizations and individuals who have demonstrated exemplary commitment to creating positive change through impactful social initiatives beyond profit-making.
“The AmCham Corporate Social Impact award affirms TP’s sustained mission to be a Force for Good in the Philippines and around the world. Together with COTW and our partners in humanitarian initiatives, we will continue to transform lives and communities by bringing hope, security, and opportunities to those who are most in need,” said Jeffrey Johnson, Chief People Officer of TP in the Philippines and COTW PH President.
Established in 2006, COTW focuses on helping underserved and vulnerable sectors of society, especially children and the elderly, by mobilizing TP’s leaders, clients, employees, and partners in humanitarian and cause-oriented initiatives.
In 2024 alone, COTW
generated at least Php9 million ($161,000) in donations from employees,
external donation drives, its e-commerce platform (COTW Store), and
partnerships. Employee engagement is the primary driver of COTW's sustained
success as the foundation elevates TP employees’ pride, loyalty, and
satisfaction. COTW has also successfully fostered a culture of volunteerism
with 16,490 volunteer hours (nearly 60,000 volunteer hours from 2009 to 2024)
dedicated to CSR efforts across 27 sites.
Through COTW, over
24,000 lives through 43 community activities benefited in 2024. These
activities range from supporting chronically ill children, providing care for
abandoned children, to aid for the elderly.
Apart from the
aforementioned CSR initiatives, COTW engages in long-term collaborations to
ensure sustainable results, such as supporting the Life Project 4 Youth (LP4Y)
training centers that equip vulnerable youth with skills for employment. The
project has mobilized Php5,000,000 in donations (Php10 million in total) and
impacted 944 vulnerable youths in rural areas in 2024.
TP likewise
continues its long-term support to the TP Village in Tanay, Rizal, providing
housing units, community centers, and ongoing support for 100 families.
Furthermore, COTW’s
Citizen of the Planet (COTP) initiative, has supported TP in its environmental
initiatives, including tree planting, coastal/river cleanups, and energy
conservation efforts such as Monthly Earth Hour. COTW greatly contributed to
TP’s sustainable achievements in 2024, notably a 46% reduction in carbon
emissions per employee in its operations in the Philippines.
“This latest award
is a huge honor which cements our place further not only in the IT-BPM
industry, but in the realm of social progress and national development as well.
We take pride in what we do—from the selfless efforts made by COTW leaders and
volunteers to the ongoing success of our programs and initiatives, such as our
partnerships with LP4Y and the residents of our TP Village,” said Chief
Executive Officer of TP in the Philippines Rahul Jolly.
