Outsourcing Impact Award on Education (Gold)
OP360 Cares
OfficePartners360 (OP360), a global outsourcing solutions provider, has made a significant impact on education in underserved communities through its corporate social responsibility initiative, OP360 Cares. This program demonstrates how a successful outsourcing company can drive sustainable social change while excelling in business.
OP360 Cares has emerged as a beacon of hope for underserved educational institutions in the Philippines and Colombia. Since its inception, the initiative has invested over $118,000 in nine schools, directly benefiting thousands of students, focusing on long-term partnerships with schools and active employee engagement through volunteer work.
Recognizing the challenges faced by public schools, particularly in terms of technology access and infrastructure, OP360 Cares set out to make a difference.

OP360 Cares' approach is multifaceted, addressing issues from infrastructure improvements to technology access. Through partnerships with local schools, OP360 Cares ensures that its support directly benefits students and teachers, resulting in more impactful, sustainable outcomes.
The initiative has also helped renovate facilities, such as a typhoon-damaged greenhouse and a termite-infested canteen, creating safer and more conducive learning environments for students. Additionally, the program has enabled schools to implement technology solutions that are essential for modern education.
One of the most significant impacts of OP360 Cares is its support for special needs education. The initiative has helped transform a run-down space into a functional transition room for the SNED Center.
"Six years ago, I promised the Lord that if I survived, I would love and serve our learners to the best of my ability, whether from regular or SNED classes. I am exceedingly fortunate to have stakeholders like OfficePartners360 looking out for me and our entire department," a teacher at the SNED Center said.
Similarly, a vice principal from one of the beneficiary schools, said "We are more thankful for the generous actions initiated by your company to help our school, for the good of the learners. I could hardly express my feelings of gratitude for your generosity. Saying thank you may not be enough, but God will give more to those with generous hearts."

Now in its second year, the OIR Awards recognize outsourcing companies that have made positive impacts in areas such as community building, education, diversity, and health.
Accompanying the OIR Awards is the comprehensive OIR Report that analyzes each outsourcing company’s impact initiatives and highlights how their projects are transforming lives and industries.
This two-pronged campaign comprises an Outsourcing Impact Awards event, which honors outstanding impact initiatives by outsourcing companies, and an Outsourcing Impact Report, encapsulating the compelling case stories behind these initiatives.
By documenting and acknowledging the far-reaching impacts and corporate social responsibility efforts of outsourcing companies, we aim to foster a broader, more nuanced understanding of the outsourcing landscape and its potential to drive positive change.
