It continues to forge partnerships with people’s organizations and other NGOs in realizing organizational capability at the grassroots. It supports policies in aid of poverty alleviation and adopts sustainable use of natural resources in all its programs.

“These plans… will not in and of themselves achieve the results we hope for. PBSP can only succeed with the undiminished support and consistent commitment of member companies. We need them to stand firm—to remain active and patient—because it is precisely in challenging periods such as these that society needs the most support.”
