Corporate Social Responsibility (CSR) refers to a business practice that involves participating in initiatives that benefit society.  As consumers’ awareness about global social issues continues to grow, so does the importance these customers place on CSR when patronizing business products and services.

Taking socially responsible initiatives with the business is truly a win-win situation. Not only the company appeal to increasingly socially conscious consumers and employees, but it will also make a real difference in the world.  In CSR, transparency and honesty about what the company is doing are paramount to earning the public’s trust.

CSR can encompass a wide variety of tactics, from giving non-profit organizations a portion of a company’s profits, to giving away products of service to a worthy recipient.

In the case of Forum Pacific, which suffers losses for several years now, it extended a helping hand in social and civic activities within the community where it operates instead of monetary donations.  On the other hand, it wishes to donate financially to its chosen charities if its financial conditions becomes stable.

They work & operate only from the received donations, grants, trusts of the people who love and care for the orphans.

We have chosen the foundation because of what they offer to children who need love, protection and guidance. Their goals are among the following:

1. To protect and ensure the children’s safety;

2. To provide the child’s basic needs and a family to call his/her own;

3. To connect each child with a caring sponsor who wants to established relationship with a child;
