-

MANILA, Philippines - The International Association of Business Communicators (IABC) Philippines conferred on Lopez Group chairman Oscar Lopez its highest award, the Lifetime Achievement Award in the 2010 Communication Excellence in Organizations (CEO Excel) awards.

IABC Philippines president Rey Anthony David Jr. said the organization’s board of trustees unanimously voted to recognize Lopez for his “extraordinary and transformational leadership over the years in communicating effectively the vision and values of the Lopez Group of companies to employees, business partners, customers and other stakeholders.”

The CEO Excel is awarded to individuals who consistently demonstrate vision and leadership in his commitment to effective business communication. Contributions to communication include achievements such as initiating, directing, supporting or sustaining outstanding and effective communication programs. The award is given to chief executive officers (CEOs), managing directors or presidents.  

In accepting the award, Lopez said the “phoenix-like nature of the Lopez Group” was not an accident. “This ability to last and outlast our challenges and challengers is made possible by careful nurturing of a corporate culture that values excellence in the conduct of our various businesses,” he said.

Known as a business excellence and corporate social responsibility champion, Lopez has consistently communicated his desire for Lopez Group companies to implement best governance practices, benchmark against international standards, and be globally competitive.

He established Lopez Group Foundation Inc. to help maximize the impact of projects of member foundations in education, child welfare, environmental protection and biodiversity, livelihood and microfinance, and employee health and fitness. Lopez is unique for his outspoken advocacy of wellness in the workplace, spearheading sports and exercise programs as well as institutionalizing a pioneering family planning program across the Lopez Group of companies.
