We want to see emerge

2025 EmergePH
Social Impact Commitment

November 5, 2024
EmergePH exists to inspire and support people in the Philippines to unleash more of their human potential.

With this social impact mission always in our minds and hearts, it is now time for us to formally embed tangible social impact into our core business model.
Starting January 1, 2025, we publicly commit to the following:
  • We will run at least 4 quarterly 7 Week Human Skills Programs, reserving 3 seats in each cohort to be provided pro bono to NGO's that are delivering education, work & life skill, or career development support in the Philippines.
  • For each paid participant in our open cohort Human Skills programs, we will provide 1 week of vocational training for under-privileged women in the Philippines.
  • For every client-dedicated Human Skills program we deliver in 2025, we will also provide an additional scholarship seat to our NGO partners.
  • For each week of client-dedicated programs we deliver in 2025, we will provide 1 month of vocational training for under-privileged women in the Philippines, focusing on skills that enhance employability and economic independence.
  • We will track these commitments as metrics that we will publish as a report voluntarily every 6 months (June 15 and December 15).
These may be relatively small ways to create social impact in 2025, but we see it as a starting point and we are happy to install this permanently into our business model.

To all our clients and partners we invite you to help us grow this impact and to ask us questions about it if you are curious, or give us feedback if you think we can improve this.

We also invite all businesses to consider where impact can be woven into the model. We are very grateful to our good friends at B1G1 for making it easier than ever to embed greater good into any business model. Please check them out!

Lastly, we invite collaboration to co-create content about our shared positive impact, demonstrating how businesses can weave greater purpose and good into their operations.
Sincerely,
EmergePH Team

We believe in the limitless potential of humans

Our Philosophy

Human potential is nearly limitless, but most of us under-believe in who we can become

Our Purpose Statement

Inspire and support individuals and teams to see and believe in their limitless potential, and to pursue it in service of humanity and our environment.

Our Mission

Inspire millions of Filipinos to begin seeing who they could become, and the positive impact they could create so that in our corner of the world, we might help steer the future of humans toward our collective potential.

Our Core Values

We are here to serve

We operate from a mindset of service.
We are always trying to be aware of everyone who would be impacted by what we do, and what’s best for all of us.

We believe in and support each other 

We see the best in each other, extend trust, provide a safe space to be human, and celebrate other people’s wins.
We have each other’s backs.

We exercise personal agency

We constantly look for what we can personally do to make something better, either proactively or after something goes wrong.
We never blame ourselves or others.

We are seekers of growth and understanding

We look at everything through a lens of curiosity & openness, always seeking deeper understanding.

We lean into scary stuff

We are willing to have difficult and honest conversations and we are always willing to do the inner work.
