Insights from Deloitte’s Technical Committee

According to Jesus Ma. Lava III, Partner, Sustainability and Emerging Assurance, Deloitte Philippines, “The development of the Triple P Awards emerged as a direct response to gaps in existing sustainability recognition systems, motivating us to create an awarding framework grounded on four principles: ensuring comprehensiveness, prioritizing authenticity, fostering comparability and upholding objectivity. Our goal since the awards’ inception in 2021 has been to establish a standard in sustainability recognition — one that meaningfully measures performance and commitment to stakeholders.”
