CORPORATE SOCIAL RESPONSIBILITY
AT THE HEIGHT OF ONDOY
Fuji Xerox Philippines proactively assessed the damage and began servicing units, bringing each customer back into operation.
“After Typhoon Ondoy, I really thought we will not be able to print or copy for our customers. Now I know better. With Fuji Xerox, I never need to worry.”
-Ms. Penny Icatlo Branch Manager, National Bookstore Q Plaza Cainta
“Prints, layouts and working drawings are critical to our operations. Typhoon Ondoy or any other calamity will not stop BF Metal in making sure that our operations are running. Fuji Xerox is truly a partner, anytime.”
-Mr. Erick Arines Group Purchasing & Logistics Manager, BF Metal Corp. Ortigas Extension Cainta
Your Partner, Anytime
Housing Project
In January 2007, Fuji Xerox Philippines employees worked together to build 27 houses and a 3 storey multi-purpose building for the poorest of the poor located in Taguig, Manila. Having partnered with Gawad Kalinga and the local government of Taguig, the employees worked during Saturdays and transformed into masons, painters, carpenters, and helpers.
The houses were completed and formally turned over to the beneficiaries in simple ceremonies in December 2007. The project allowed employees to share their time and talent with the marginalized members of society. The Fuji Xerox Philippines volunteer employees are truly a model of responsible corporate citizenship.
A second phase of the project is now being conceptualized and that is to help enable the beneficiaries to channel their talents, time and potential into productive activities. This in turn will provide a source of livelihood and, in the long-term, build their self-esteem and self-worth.
Fuji Xerox Philippines also has a Xerox Club comprised of employees tasked to initiate and execute projects aimed at developing the spiritual, cultural and physical wellness of the employees. The Xerox Club conducted a fund-raising drive in December 2007 and they were able to raise funds, groceries and toys (for Christmas gift giving to needy children). The donations were given to charitable institutions while the funds were used to buy wheelchairs and donated to the handicapped.
