The Department of Trade and Industry has formally welcomed SM Investments Corporation’s subsidiary, 2GO Group, Inc., as a member of the Supply Chain and Logistics Center (SCLC), strengthening support for micro, small, and medium enterprises (MSMEs) nationwide.

This followed the Trade Department and 2GO’s signing of a Memorandum of Agreement (MOA) to be part of DTI’s “go-to” logistics network, expanding 2GO’s role beyond transport services to include logistics consultancy and advisory support for DTI-registered enterprises.

Through the partnership, MSMEs will be supported with tailored logistics solutions that improve efficiency, reduce costs, and support business expansion.

“This partnership with 2GO strengthens our ability to respond to the logistics needs of Filipino enterprises,” said Ma. Cristina Roque, Secretary of the Department of Trade and Industry.

“Through partners such as 2GO, MSMEs are supported with reliable logistics services that enable cost optimization and business expansion based on their operational needs,” she added.

As part of its commitment, 2GO will support SCLC initiatives through logistics consultancy services, participation in business matching and market linkage activities, and support for the establishment of Logistics Support Desks in selected Negosyo Centers across the country.

“Our team is ready to support a wide range of logistics requirements, from basic shipping needs to more complex supply chain solutions,” said Faye Alonzo, Business Unit Head for Forwarding of 2GO. “We are honored to serve as DTI’s logistics partner and to work with the SCLC in helping MSMEs connect to markets and scale with confidence.”

The partnership reflects 2GO’s broader role in enabling commerce and mobility nationwide. “2GO is a mover and an enabler,” said Will Howell, Chief Operating Officer and Chief Financial Officer of 2GO Group, Inc. “We move goods and people across the country, and we continue to find better ways to do so because efficient logistics creates opportunities for Filipinos, supports livelihoods, and drives inclusive economic growth.”

The DTI–2GO partnership underscores a shared commitment to building a more resilient, accessible, and competitive supply chain ecosystem for MSMEs nationwide.
