The award is one of the categories of the annual 2025 NordCham Awards. It recognizes organizations that contribute to inclusive development through social impact, community engagement, social innovation, and the integration of sustainability into its core operations. SNAP stood out among this year’s nominees in the category for its dedication to volunteerism, sustainable development, and uplifting its host communities.

SNAP believes that business success is deeply intertwined with the well-being of the communities we serve,” said Joseph Yu, SNAP President and Chief Executive Officer. “Throughout our 18 years of operations, our focus on community development has defined the way we do business. Tonight’s award affirms the impact of the time, effort, and investment we have dedicated to building value with our host communities. We are deeply grateful to everyone who has been part of this mission.”

Guided by the principles of transparency, collaboration, and shared growth, the company has built strong relationships with stakeholders across its areas of operation in the provinces of Benguet, Ifugao, Isabela, and Nueva Vizcaya.
