About the Philippine Business for Social Progress (PBSP)
The Philippine Business for Social Progress (PBSP) was founded in 1970 by 50 captains of industry who shared a common vision of reducing poverty through various social development programs. Today, the PBSP has evolved into the largest corporate-led social development foundation in the Philippines. It also has the distinction of being the first of its kind in Asia advancing initiatives and best practices of corporate social responsibility (CSR).
240 large, medium-scale and small business companies comprise the PBSP. United in a common cause, PBSP members uplift the lives of Filipinos through social development projects and green agendas. Since its founding in 1970, PBSP has efficiently managed PhP 5.5 billion in grants. The United Nations (UN) has tapped PBSP to encourage business sector support in meeting the challenges of the Millennium Development Goals Program (MDG). PBSP also manages the multi-billion Peso - Global Fund in support of the National TB program of the Department of Health.
Leading the way in the theory and practice of good corporate citizenship, PBSP has been influencing the Filipino business community to integrate CSR into their core businesses and advocating the strategy that collective engagements can lead to more sustainable impact. PBSP’s Platforms for Collective Engagements (PlaCEs) scales up individual initiatives through collective impact strategies focused on four clusters: Health, Education, Environment, and Livelihood and Enterprise Development.
