ACHIEVEMENTS
Gardenia’s achievements are due to our beloved customers’ continuous support and loyalty. Because of this, Gardenia will continue to provide consumers with the best bread products that they can enjoy anytime, anywhere.
Gardenia Bakeries Phils., Inc. bagged three new awards in the DTI-Center for Industrial Competitiveness Search for Model Company held last July 8, 2011. Being the only company to win all three categories of the Pro-Active Programs Achievement Awards namely, Labor Management Relationship, Family Welfare/Community Relations, and Quality & Productivity, attests to Gardenia’s mission to enrich the quality of life for the Filipino not only through the manufacturing of high quality breads, but also in caring for the welfare of every family, community and employee behind its success.
The Pro-Active Program Achievement Award is given yearly by the Department of Trade and Industry across all industries in recognition of a company’s exemplary achievements in institutionalizing its programs. Corporate entrants are evaluated and judged according to documented facts and highly measurable results.
As the winner of the Labor Management Relationship award, Gardenia invests highly in strengthening employees’ knowledge, abilities, attitude and morale through company-sponsored trainings and events resulting in their continued high motivation, happiness, health and well-being.
Outbesting the rest in the Family Welfare/Community Relations category stems from Gardenia’s various programs such as “Daily Bread” which provides 10,000 loaves of bread to the various sectors of society weekly; sponsorships of educational activities for employees and students, medical missions, livelihood and outreach programs for the jobless and the poor as well as environmental projects for the entire community.
Emerging as the champion in Quality and Productivity–category with stringent criteria–is the result of having a 6k plant (the largest and the most advanced in the country today) that allows for high input and efficiency, a state-of-the-art and “untouched by human hands” bread production process, consistency in meeting ISO and HACCP standards and various consumer awards plus a very strong customer focus, among others. With 3 new feathers in its cap, Gardenia is indeed a role model company that leads by example, inspiring other companies to enrich the lives of the people they serve in various industries.
