Holcim Philippines, one of the leading building solution companies in the country that has a deep portfolio of innovative solutions, recently shared the company’s commitment to support the development of Mindanao amid the Covid-19 pandemic highlighting its strengths in health and safety and commercial innovation as key contributions to recovery.
In a virtual media briefing with the Mindanao Development Authority (MinDA) on September 02, 2020, Holcim Philippines Senior Vice President and Chief Finance Officer Jena Rojas provided an overview of the company’ Health, Cash, and Cost framework in responding quick and effectively to the challenges of Covid-19 and remain confident in bouncing back and sustaining our commitment to support our partners. She was joined by MinDA Assistant Secretary Romeo Montenegro as well as representatives from the Department of Public Works and Highways Region XI and XII offices.
Holcim Philippines' quick and effective response is focused on three areas: Health, Cash and Cost.
Health: Holcim's first priority is the well-being of their employees, so they make sure to provide them a safe environment and keep them healthy at all times.
Cash: Second is making sure that they will be able to preserve their cash to support the company needs during this pandemic.
Cost: Third is the company being mindful about costs and only spend for the most essential aspects of the business.
Aside from the framework, Ms. Rojas also introduced two of its new leaders to manage new facilities in Mindanao; Arnold Pepino for the Misamis Oriental Plant, and Sam Manlosa for the Davao Plant respectively. They discussed the Holcim Philippines’ efforts to be more prudent on costs and make operations safer from Covid-19. Also, Rojas noted that its Mindanao plants are both headed by Mindanawons, the first time in the company's history.
Meanwhile, Holcim Philippines Senior Vice President for Sales William Sumalinog discussed the company’s readiness to support Mindanao's manufacturing industry in becoming a stronger contributor to development during the Mindanao Business Conference on September 10. He was joined in the virtual panel by Senator Imee Marcos, Board of Investments Governor Napoleon Concepcion and Oro Chamber President Robertino Pizarro.
Sumalinog noted that the Department of Trade and Industry had identified poor infrastructures as among those holding back manufacturing in the Philippines in a policy paper on raising the industry's competitiveness.
He added that Holcim is well equipped to support partners build these structures in Mindanao as seen by its recent Davao plant upgrade, roll out of new building solutions such as road infrastructure cement Solido and pavement repair solution SuperFastCrete, and other digital innovations.
