Energy Development Corporation (EDC) was the Lopez Group’s best finisher this year, with an Award of Excellence for Values @ Work: EDC’s Sustainability Story. Its Kanaga-EDC institute of Technology: Producing the World’s Greatest Nation Builders, meanwhile, snagged an Award of Merit, while Values in Action: The 2010 EDC Integrated Annual and Sustainability Report received a finalist citation.

Two other Lopez Group publications also took home Awards of Merit: First Gen’s Pulse and Lopez Holdings Corporation’s LopezLink (see sidebar).

The awards are handed out annually by the International Association of Business Communicators (IABC) Philippines to communications programs and tools that exhibit clear objectives and strategies, creative executions and measurable benefits. It is considered the country’s most prestigious and relevant award for business communications programs.

IABC is a global network of more than 14,000 business communication professionals in over 60 countries. The Philippines is the first IABC chapter outside North America.
