His Excellency Benigno S. Aquino III, President of the Republic of the Philippines, will be the guest-of-honor as the winners are presented during a gala dinner that will cap the two-day Asian Forum on Corporate Social Responsibility held on September 2-3, 2014.

The Asian CSR Awards Program recognizes and honors Asian Organizations for embodying the principles of corporate responsibility in their business philosophy and operations. Awards are given for programs that achieve excellence in terms of services to stakeholders and innovative sustainable solutions to pressing social challenges.

A total of 109 entries from 12 countries submitted by 97 organizations from across the Asian region are competing in this year's Asian CSR Awards. Nominations were received from China, Hong Kong, India, Indonesia, Korea, Malaysia, Pakistan, Philippines, Singapore, Sri Lanka, Thailand and UAE.

The awardees demonstrate the company's leadership, sincerity and on-going commitment to incorporating ethical values, compliance with legal requirements, respect for individuals, involvement in communities and protection of the environment into the way they do business. The Awards categories are as follows: Environmental Excellence, Education Improvement, Poverty Alleviation, and Health Enhancement. This year, the Awards Committee chose to recognize a particular program with a special award - the CSR Impact Award. The CSR Impact Award will be given to honor a program that has an on-going track record of significant sustainable impact and is innovative and replicable.
