At Nova Techset, we strive to give back to society and make a positive difference by supporting meaningful causes. Our social responsibilities include ensuring people’s welfare, focusing on education, particularly empowering the underprivileged to access quality learning, and environmentally conscious operations. Some of our key initiatives include:
Novatechset is committed to bridging the education gap for underprivileged communities through financial assistance, sponsorships and grants to educational institutions. Partnering with the Foundation University of the Philippines, we are providing scholarships to college students beginning in the 2024–2025 academic year.
Initially, we will support two scholars, with plans for expansion in the future. This program aims to help students from low-income homes achieve their educational goals, fostering personal growth and success for a better future.
We support healthcare initiatives, and our focus areas include eradicating hunger, poverty, and malnutrition. We contribute to healthcare programs focusing on preventive care and sanitation, including partnerships with government initiatives like the Swachh Bharat Kosh and safe drinking water projects.
Our Community Development Initiatives are aimed at promoting gender equality, empowering individuals across diverse backgrounds and supporting senior citizens. We actively participate in setting up homes, hostels, and day care centers and engage in activities that reduce inequalities faced by socially and economically underserved groups.
Nova Techset is dedicated to ensuring environmental sustainability through projects that protect the environment, support animal welfare, and conserve natural resources. We engage in agroforestry, contribute to the Clean Ganga Fund, and focus on maintaining soil, air, and water quality.
Our environmental efforts include programs aimed at reducing waste, improving energy efficiency, and promoting recycling within our operations. These initiatives are designed to minimize our environmental impact and support long-term ecological balance.
We provide financial support to a number of charitable organizations and causes that promote societal well-being. This includes contributions to the Prime Minister’s National Relief Fund, PM CARES Fund, and other government-established funds for socio-economic development and disaster relief.
We also extend our philanthropic efforts to benefit armed forces veterans, war widows, and their dependents, ensuring they receive the necessary support and recognition for their service.
At the heart of our corporate culture is a strong belief in community involvement. We actively encourage our employees to contribute their time and energy to causes they are passionate about, recognizing the powerful impact this has both personally and professionally. Whether it's participating in local clean-up drives, supporting food banks, or engaging in educational outreach programs, our team is constantly involved in meaningful activities throughout the year. These events not only strengthen teamwork and deepen bonds between colleagues but also make lasting contributions to important causes.
We also support individual volunteering efforts by offering flexible working hours, allowing our employees to dedicate time to causes that align with their personal values and interests—without the added stress of balancing work commitments. This approach empowers our team members to make a real difference in their communities while fostering personal growth and a deep sense of purpose. Ultimately, our commitment to social responsibility nurtures both passion and dedication toward driving positive change.
Novatechset promotes diversity through funding, consulting, and partnerships with diverse suppliers, creating an inclusive environment.
In partnership with Bata ng Calabnugan, we help underprivileged girls in Negros Oriental, Philippines, by providing financial assistance for education and basic needs.
Through funding, resources and mentoring, we empower these young women to build brighter futures with confidence and hope.
Nova Techset is committed to investing in communities by supporting education and skill development for disadvantaged groups, empowering them to thrive in relevant fields. In May 2024, Nova Techset, in collaboration with PESO and DOLE, launched the JobStart Philippines Program. This initiative aims to provide technical and vocational training to young job seekers. In its initial phase, ten participants will receive practical, hands-on experience and valuable skills that will open doors to full-time employment and long-term career success.
Our health and well-being programs are designed to foster a holistic approach to wellness within our organization and beyond. These initiatives encompass a variety of wellness campaigns aimed at promoting physical activity, balanced nutrition, and preventative health measures. We place particular emphasis on mental health awareness, offering tools, workshops, and support networks that encourage open discussions around mental well-being. By addressing these aspects, we aim to reduce the stigma surrounding mental health and provide our employees with the resources they need to thrive both personally and professionally.
We hope to cultivate a healthier lifestyle among our employees and to take this commitment into the surrounding communities that shape us to leave a positive mark that goes beyond the four walls of our workplace.
Ethics in the supply chain are at the core of our corporate values. We believe that success should never come at the expense of human rights or well-being in any part of our operations. To ensure this, we uphold strict standards to prevent child labor, exploitation, and other unethical practices throughout our supply chain. We prioritize working with suppliers who adhere to fair trade principles, particularly in areas such as safe working conditions, fair wages, and quality of life for all employees.
Our approach emphasizes building long-term, value-driven partnerships with suppliers whose integrity and sense of responsibility align with our own. We enforce our ethical standards through regular audits and comprehensive training programs, ensuring that these principles are applied across the entire supply chain. This holistic commitment not only drives positive social change but also promotes respect, fairness, and accountability within the communities we serve.
Nova Techset is deeply committed to meaningful and collaborative engagement with communities across a broad spectrum of social issues. We actively support and participate in initiatives aimed at improving infrastructure and ensuring access to essential facilities and resources for those who need them most. Our involvement spans a range of impactful community projects, including education programs, health camps, and skill development workshops—all designed to empower individuals to improve their living conditions and elevate their quality of life.
In addition to these efforts, we run public awareness campaigns addressing critical societal challenges, encouraging communities to take collective responsibility for each other’s well-being. Through these initiatives, we aim to create lasting positive impacts and drive long-term change, contributing to the growth and development of the communities we proudly serve.
The various social initiatives undertaken by Nova Techset have created a visible impact for a number of underprivileged individuals. Here’s a glimpse on what some of our recipients have said
"Thanks to the support of Nova Techset, I can now pursue my dream of becoming a teacher," says Maria Santos, a scholarship recipient.
Rafael Antonio, a recent participant, shares, "The JobStart Program gave me the skills and confidence to secure a job in my field. I’m grateful for the opportunity."
"Nova Techset’s support has given our girls hope and a chance to break the cycle of poverty," says Mark Joseph, a volunteer from Bata ng Calabnugan.
We’re excited about our upcoming initiatives, including the expansion of our scholarship program and exploring new regions to extend our impact. We believe in the power of collaboration and welcome ideas and feedback from the community. If you have suggestions on how we can enhance or expand our efforts, we’d love to hear from you. Together, we can continue making a positive difference and reach even more lives..
