03 October 2023, Stockholm - H.E. Ambassador of the Philippines Maria Lumen B. Isleta received the Filipino Scholars of the Swedish Institute under the Management Programme 2023 when they called on her last 28 September 2023. The scholars include: Mr. Aries Asilo, CEO of Varacco Incorporated; Ms. Clair Halican, Sustainability Manager of Universal Robina Corporation; and Ms. Kamille Corpuz, Sustainability Manager of Century Pacific Food Incorporated.

The programme is based on Sweden’s prominent position in innovation and sustainable business – and its connection to the global economy. A core outcome of the programme is for every participant to develop and implement an action-oriented sustainability roadmap / strategy that should be an integral part of the overall business strategy and to formulate the actions and plans based on the needs of their respective organization and its stakeholders.

The current programme runs from April –November 2023, with online sessions throughout the period, and with an immersion week in Sweden late September 2023, where students had the opportunity to meet with representatives from Swedish companies and organizations. END.
