Davao-based BPO joins the ranks of global CSR leaders in the Philippines 

SixEleven Global Services proudly announces its recognition as CSR Company of the Year at the prestigious Asia CEO Awards 2025, one of Southeast Asia’s largest and most esteemed business recognition programs. This award highlights SixEleven’s unwavering commitment to corporate social responsibility (CSR), showcasing its transformative initiatives that go beyond business success to create meaningful impact in communities, strengthen sustainability, and foster inclusive growth.

The Asia CEO Awards, now in its 16th year, is widely regarded as the largest and most prestigious business awards ceremony in Southeast Asia. Organized by Asia CEO Events, the program aims to spotlight exceptional leadership, innovation, and contributions to nation-building. It is supported by major sponsors including PLDT Enterprise, PWC Philippines, and JLL, and is known for identifying companies and leaders that are “making a difference” in the Philippines and the broader region. The Asia CEO Awards is an annual event that honors organizations and individuals demonstrating excellence in business, leadership, and social impact. Past attendees and winners include some of the country’s most recognized leaders in enterprise, entrepreneurship, and public service. With over 1,200 attendees from across Southeast Asia, it is one of the region’s most important forums for business recognition. 

Each year, the CSR Company of the Year Award specifically highlights firms that demonstrate measurable and sustained contributions to their communities, whether through education, healthcare, environmental stewardship, or livelihood creation. 

Driving Purpose Beyond Business

SixEleven’s win underscores its deep and consistent engagement in corporate social responsibility (CSR) across Mindanao. With a workforce largely composed of local talent from underserved communities, the company has long championed inclusive hiring, rural education support, and grassroots digital literacy programs. For more than two decades, SixEleven has championed initiatives that address social, and environmental challenges in the southern part of the Philippines. From livelihood and scholarship programs, blood donation drives, and employee wellness initiatives, to disaster preparedness campaigns, the company has made CSR an integral part of its operations.

“We are humbled and honored to receive this award,” said Michael Hao Bian, CEO of SixEleven Global Services. “This recognition is not just for our company but for our people, our communities, and our partners who continue to inspire us to create lasting change. CSR is at the heart of SixEleven, and this award affirms our belief that businesses thrive best when they uplift others.”

Recognized by Business Leaders

The Asia CEO Awards is known for its rigorous judging process led by distinguished leaders across industries. The CSR Company of the Year award acknowledges organizations that demonstrate excellence in sustainability, innovation, and social impact.

By securing this recognition, SixEleven solidifies its position as a purpose-driven leader in the Philippine IT-BPM sector, setting a benchmark for how companies can create value while contributing to nation-building.

SixEleven’s CSR footprint includes:

• Education Partnerships: Collaborating with local universities and TESDA to upskill young professionals for careers in tech-enabled services. 
• Disaster Response and Community Support: Mobilizing company resources to assist in times of natural calamities, including food, shelter, and emergency tech support.
