Ford managed to secure the Platinum award for their program, ‘Operation Better World’ (OBW) under the community development category. In 2017 alone, the American brand has already marked eight community outreach programs, including medical and dental missions in Gawad Kalinga, as well as construction of water facilities in Nueva Ecija and Batangas.

Aside from that, Ford’s globally-recognized Driving Skills For Life (DSFL) has also gained a Platinum award under the road safety category. It’s a program that intends to educate the drivers on smart and safe driving to lessen road accidents in the country.

“The Driven to Serve Awards aims to tell the inspiring stories of the CSR projects to encourage and to inspire, to encourage those already conducting projects that make a difference to go on, and to inspire those who are about to embark on that selfless journey to go ahead.”
