As leaders, we have a responsibility to our team members and the entire organization to transform the way we think in order to transform the company into a greater one.

Aboitiz Group leaders are taking on the responsibility of bringing the team forward into a modern and transformative future. Focusing on “high-potential growth initiatives,” a “renewed entrepreneurial mindset,” and continuous investment in the “hypergrowth” of its team members in an enabling and inclusive work environment, the 100-year-old conglomerate is gearing up to thrive in a new business landscape.

At the 2022 Aboitiz Leaders Conference (LeadCon) held last February 10, SMA emphasized that the way forward for the Group is through a “Great Transformation,” highlighting the value of Responsibility that is nurtured among all of its team members and being open-minded to more possibilities.

“As leaders, we have a responsibility to our team members and the entire organization to transform the way we think in order to transform the company into a greater one,” said SMA.

This year’s Aboitiz LeadCon carried the theme “The Aboitiz Transformation: Building a Sustainable Future.” Aboitiz stressed that reinvigorated people management is the key to ensuring the Great Transformation.

“The success of our individual team members is as, if not more, important than the success of the company—because the former ensures the latter and the latter encourages the former. This is the way to ensure that our evolution and transformation endures,” he explained. The Aboitiz Group President also encouraged leaders to build on the momentum brought by the Group’s strategic partnerships (such as the recent partnership with Japanese power company JERA) and the continued expansion with new projects, product lines, and service locations.

During the Aboitiz LeadCon, heads of the Group’s various business units namely AboitizPower, UnionBank, Aboitiz InfraCapital, Pilmico and Gold Coin, AboitizLand, and Aboitiz Construction presented their performance updates and directions, and zeroed in on their respective Transformation initiatives.
