SN Aboitiz Power Group wins at the GKK Nationals in Quezon City on November 23, 2022. SNAP-Ambuklao Benguet’s HEPP was named national industry champion in occupational safety and health. Binga HEPP and SNAP-Magat Magat’s HEPP won Silver Awards. Hollis Fernandez, SNAP-AVP Benguet’s and plant manager, won the Silver Award for OSH.
SNAP representatives personally received the trophies from the Department of Labor and Employment (DOLE) secretary Labor Secretary Bienvenido Laguesma. SNAP has been consistently recognized by the GKK for commendable OSH practices.
For years, DOLE has lauded the best establishments and individuals in terms of occupational safety, health, and environmental programs and policies through GKK. Only regional champions are eligible for the prestigious national recognition; SNAP-Benguet and SNAP-Magat were awarded champions of their respective regions earlier in November.
In his speech, Sec. Laguesma cited GKK as the most prestigious award for health and safety in the industry, commending the participants for their collective contributions to uphold the labor department’s advocacy and help build the future of occupational safety and health in the country.
The awards reaffirm SNAP’s commitment to going above and beyond in creating effective and innovative programs to ensure the health and safety of their workforce and continually create meaningful impact in communities. Joseph Yu, President and CEO of SNAP Group, shares, “As one of our core values, Safety is truly ingrained in SNAP’s culture. The national recognition speaks to our efforts and commitment so far and drives us to innovate and work even harder. We will keep raising the bar in occupational safety and health, and building resilience in our employees and communities through our programs.”
