Capital One Philippines marked International Volunteerism Day with a week of activities aimed at strengthening communities. The company's efforts included water tower deployments, educational sessions, and a year-end celebration. Throughout the year, Capital One Philippines has made a significant impact through various social responsibility initiatives.
INTERNATIONAL Volunteerism Day serves as a global reminder of the power of collective action. At Capital One Philippines, this is more than just a celebration—it’s a reflection of the company’s year-long commitment to building stronger, healthier communities through the dedicated efforts of its associates.
To commemorate International Volunteerism Day this year, Capital One Philippines conducted week-long activities such as the water tower deployment at Kiling Elementary School in Sariaya, Quezon, which brings the total to 78 water towers deployed; educational sessions at Alabang Elementary School in Muntinlupa; and a heartfelt year-end celebration at Sto. Tomas Elementary School in Biñan, Laguna. Throughout 2024, Capital One Philippines has touched more than 356,000 people through its unwavering commitment to social responsibility, achieving significant milestones such as donating over 416,000 meals in collaboration with Rise Against Hunger, deploying 28 water towers across the Philippines through Planet Water Foundation to provide clean drinking water to underserved areas, and producing 13 graduates under the Contact Center Readiness Program (CCRP) which transforms underprivileged young adults into digitally-enabled and customer-centric global professionals through an engagement and mentorship program in partnership with Tuloy Foundation. To date, CCRP has helped 99 percent of 150 program graduates gain employment in the IT-BPM industry, with 105 of them hired at Capital One Philippines. For Capital One Philippines Director and Head of Strategy and Community Kaneth Santiago, the impact of volunteerism extends far beyond immediate results. She said, “Each donation, volunteer hour, and conversation creates a ripple effect that extends far beyond our initial intention. This year, we received more than 49,000 donations, which have been directed to support key beneficiaries like Haven for Children, Haven for Women, Alabang Elementary School and disaster-stricken area
