The campaign, launched this September, showcases FPT Software’s commitment to corporate social responsibility. Employees, alongside their families, are taking part in a variety of activities, including beach clean-ups, charity efforts, blood donations, and environmental restoration projects like tree planting.
On the shores of the Philippines, in locations like Cebu, hundreds of FPT Software engineers and their loved ones gathered to clean up beaches, collecting vast amounts of plastic waste, food wrappers, and discarded electronic items. Armed with gloves and reusable bags, the volunteers worked to restore these once-pristine environments, returning them to their natural beauty. Participants also kicked off the Happy Giga Run with a Zumba session, all while taking pride in their collective effort to contribute to a cleaner, greener world.
In Manila, FPT Software partnered with the "Takbo Para sa Kalikasan" event, a local environmental run, merging fitness and charity. The run drew residents of Pasay City, who embraced the dual mission of promoting personal health while contributing to social good through charitable fundraising. The initiative was widely supported by the local community, further spreading the company’s message of environmental stewardship and civic engagement.
FPT Software’s efforts in the Philippines extend beyond environmental campaigns. Partnering with the Philippine Red Cross, the company has hosted blood donation drives, gathering thousands of units of blood for patients in need. Charity programs aimed at supporting the elderly have also formed a key part of their outreach, addressing an often-overlooked issue with both material assistance and much-needed human connection.
Looking ahead, FPT Software Philippines is planning to broaden its community initiatives, including donations to orphanages, the provision of essential supplies for the homeless, and the organization of free health clinics. These efforts follow closely on the heels of FPT Software Philippines being recognized as a "Great Place to Work," cementing its reputation as a company with both a global outlook and a deep local impact.
FPT Software’s global reach also plays a pivotal role in this campaign. Employees in countries such as the United States, Japan, South Korea, Sweden, France, Indonesia, and Vietnam have similarly participated in runs and community activities. Through these global efforts, FPT Software’s employees, their families, friends, customers, and partners are spreading not just the spirit of sportsmanship but a shared commitment to bettering the communities they serve across 30 countries and territories.
