Launched in June 2024, SHES Month featured 16 activities aimed at promoting employee well-being, environmental sustainability, and community empowerment. These included wellness challenges, tree planting drives, a mental health webinar, and campaigns to raise awareness about safety and sustainability.
Aligned with the United Nations Sustainable Development Goals 3 (Good Health and Well-Being) and 13 (Climate Action), the SHES Month fostered a culture of health and environmental responsibility. It also extended its impact to local communities, exemplified by the turnover of an innovative Materials Recovery Facility to a community in Malvar, Batangas.
Recognized in the Sustainability Communications category, the initiative was recognized for its alignment with the UN SDGs, measurable impacts, and its effectiveness in promoting sustainability to a defined audience.
“Winning this award highlights the value we place on embedding sustainability, along with safety, health, environment, and security, into every aspect of our work. We are proud to see SHES Month make an impact not only within our company but also in the lives of our partner communities,” said Karmine Andrea Ching, Sr. AVP for Business Transformation of Aboitiz Construction.
The SHES Month recognition underscores Aboitiz Construction’s commitment to corporate citizenship and addressing safety, health, and environmental challenges. Now an annual event held every June, in alignment with Philippine Environment Month, SHES Month will continue to engage employees, raise awareness of safety and sustainability, and deliver positive impacts to communities.
This achievement adds to Aboitiz Construction’s growing reputation in public relations as it celebrates its 50th anniversary this year. The company previously received notable recognition in 2023 and 2024, earning both an Anvil Award and a Quill Award for the successful launch of its new brand.
