Corporate Social Responsibility, Participation, Relief, and RehabilitationAbstract
This study assessed eight business companies based in Metro Manila and Bulacan regarding their participation to Yolanda disaster relief and rehabilitation efforts. Specifically, it described the selected companies based on their current Corporate Social Responsibility (CSR) programs and their interventions in response to Yolanda disaster relief and rehabilitation. Data and information were gathered and analyzed using qualitative techniques. Results showed that more than half of the companies fell under the international business company category. All companies were considered large in terms of scale of capital and operation. Five of the companies have their own corporate foundation while two companies have a concrete program on disaster.
All participated during the Yolanda disaster relief and rehabilitation initiatives, through direct or indirect support mechanisms.
