EEI Corporation prioritizes long-term societal development over short-term gains, integrating sustainability into decision-making processes across various sectors. Concurrently, the company has also won a trophy under the Investment in People category at the Asia Responsible Enterprise Awards 2024, organized by leading regional NGO, Enterprise Asia.
EEI Corporation (EEI), one of the premier construction companies in the Philippines, believes that taking care of its people and giving them dignity is the best way to ensure productivity, sustainability, and business growth. To this end, it developed the “EEI for the People” project.
In 2023, the company embarked on transformational initiatives focused on its people. It launched programs to enhance the technical and management capabilities of its employees, foster an organizational culture rooted in ethics, engagement, and high performance, and ultimately, uplift the lives of its workers and their families.
It started with the launch of the Values-to-Virtues Workshop, which empowered around 607 employees (as of December 2023), and the establishment of a 500-bed EEI Training Facility in Tanza, Cavite. A Management Training Program for high-potential engineers was also rolled out to aid the company’s succession planning requirements.
That same year, EEI also unveiled a scholarship program with children of the workforce as beneficiaries and introduced a loan program to extend financial assistance to project workers and protect them from predatory loan providers.
The company initiative kickstarted during the pandemic when it redesigned operations and processes to adapt to the crisis. EEI made sure to safeguard the livelihood and income of employees and dependents, suppliers, vendors, clients, partners, stakeholders, and relevant communities.
In 2023, the company received recognition for construction excellence and as a prolific and top employer, which are further testament to EEI’s commitment to providing people with employment and growth opportunities and benefits that improve their lives and their families.
EEI consistently implements programs and activities that support social advocacy matters, community relations, public health and safety, and environmental protection.
The company, celebrating its 93rd year this 2024, continues to strive not only to deliver quality services to clients but also to respond to the needs of the community and look after the welfare of its employees.
