ICTSI terminals mitigate Covid-19 effects
INTERNATIONAL Container Terminal Services Inc. terminals across its portfolio — individually, collectively, and in unity with its host communities in the fight against the Covid-19 pandemic — have contributed approximately P350 million to national and local government agencies, immediate communities, employees and port stakeholders.
Foremost for the Group was to ensure the safety and protection of its employees who keep the ports open and running so that food, medical supplies and equipment along with basic necessities are delivered unhampered. Following strict protocols and measures dictated by the World Health Organization, International Maritime Organization and local governments, terminals are sanitized and disinfected to make for a safe working environment.
ICTSI was among the first to respond to the call of the Philippine Disaster Resilience Foundation , of which it is a member, for the business community to band together for Project Ugnayan, a feeding program for the economically vulnerable in the Philippine capital and neighboring provinces with a PhP100 million donation. In just a couple of weeks, the project has been able to help about 1.5 million families or 7.5 million individuals.
