Pascual Laboratories, Inc. (PascualLab), one of the well-loved Filipino-owned pharmaceutical companies, recently achieved a significant milestone in the field of corporate social responsibility (CSR). The company was honored with its first-ever Medal of Recognition from the League of Corporate Foundations (LCF) during the 2025 CSR Expo held at Dusit Thani in Makati.
This recognition is an important moment for PascualLab, as it represents the first time the company has received formal acknowledgment for its CSR efforts from the LCF. The Medal of Recognition was granted in light of PascualLab’s ongoing work through its CSR initiative, Sowing to Empower, Educate, and Develop (S.E.E.D.), which focuses on environmental and sustainable agriculture programs that align with the principles of People, Planet, and Productivity for all.
The LCF, known as the Filipino network of organizations supporting sectors in need, awarded the Medal of Recognition to PascualLab for its excellence in CSR focus areas, particularly in the environment and sustainable agriculture. The recognition not only underscores PascualLab’s long-standing dedication to these causes but also provides external validation of its strategic direction when it comes to health, education, and environmental goals.
Anchored on the theme, “Diversity, Equity, and Inclusivity for Shared Prosperity,” the 2025 CSR Expo differentiated between its member and non-member organizations when it came to awarding outstanding CSR initiatives. Member organizations received the Guild Award, while non-member organizations, including PascualLab and Fluor Daniels Foundation, were honored with the Medal of Recognition. This award symbolizes the value and impact of CSR programs being implemented outside of LCF’s core network.
While the concept of Environmental, Social, and Governance (ESG) goals has gained more prominence in recent years, PascualLab has been advancing these principles long before they became a global standard. Its initiatives have long promoted eco-friendly and inclusive agricultural practices, rooted in its mission to build Strong, Healthy families. The Medal of Recognition serves as an affirmation that the company is moving in the right direction with its programs.
Shem Jose Garcia, Chairperson of the League of Corporate Foundations, highlighted the purpose of the CSR Expo awards during the event. According to Garcia, the awards “create space for collaboration and leveraging our collective strengths, especially in today’s society, where true success goes beyond efficiency and optimization to nurturing people and the communities we affect. That is how we achieve shared prosperity.”
Garcia’s remarks emphasized the importance of unity and inclusivity in pursuing impactful CSR efforts. By honoring companies like PascualLab, LCF aims to inspire a collective commitment among organizations to work together toward long-term community and environmental betterment.
PascualLab’s recognition reflects not only its innovative approach to CSR but also its unwavering commitment to values that go beyond product development and profitability. The company is known for its portfolio of family-friendly, high-quality health products such as Poten-Cee, Ascof Lagundi, C-Lium Fibre, and OraCare Mouthrinse. These products are staples in many Filipino households, and PascualLab has long paired its consumer offerings with initiatives that aim to uplift communities and promote sustainable practices.
Receiving the Medal of Recognition at a national platform like the LCF CSR Expo not only brings honor to PascualLab but also reaffirms its vision-driven path. Through programs like S.E.E.D., PascualLab continues to empower local communities by promoting sustainable farming practices, supporting education, and fostering environmental awareness. The recognition serves as a meaningful milestone that reinforces the company’s identity as more than just a pharmaceutical brand, but as a committed and responsible corporate citizen working toward shared prosperity.
