We owe our founders an inestimable debt of gratitude for originating this seminal vision—long before corporate social responsibility became part of our business vocabulary. Now, businesses look beyond their balance sheets, and accept that its responsibilities to society transcends its traditional role of providing goods and services for a profit. DURABILITY OF VISION My anniversary remarks cannot escape referencing COVID-19. It does not happen often that these landmark anniversaries occur, and institutions are besieged with serious existential P issues. PBSP’s 50th has come at such a time. If anything, this crisis has given us a chance to answer the question of what PBSP’s purpose may be in such times – not with words, but with deeds. EVOLUTION AND CHANGES But PBSP’s tasks have evolved to adapt to the times. PBSP is no longer alone. The passage of time has seen the birth of many other foundations of companies established for their own purpose. That evolution has re-defined who we are: B First, PBSP is not a charitable institution—our tasks may begin by delivering relief goods in disasters, by helping provide power and water in remote communities, by building classrooms for our needy students. But they go beyond immediate help. We must rebuild and improve over the long-time. More importantly, we must encourage, and inspire our people and communities to become self-starters, self-sufficient and self-determining— the proverbial teaching how to fish. We precisely need to instill the notions of progress and improvement in our people. One of our founders, Ambassador Bienvenido Tan, Jr., has S emphasized that it is only when communities have become self-sufficient, can we say that PBSP has attained a measure of success. Second, as an institution built by business, PBSP has deployed the disciplines of business. We believe that our most lasting contribution is not only through our financial help, but with the application of business’s competencies to the work at hand. Andres Soriano III, our past Chairman, highlighted that the business’ ability to pool resources, plan and carry out practical ANNUAL REPORT P 13 2020 SHAPING THE SOCIAL DEVELOPMENT LANDSCAPE objectives, prepare for the future, and foster the spirit of enterprise should be an integral part of our social development goals, and programs.
