<\/a><\/span><\/p>\n\u201cThrough this program, we want to power up the learning and development of young people. We want to help teach young people about solar energy, about renewable energy. We want to power up the next generation to help save our planet,\u201d Maxeon Fab4 General Manager Glenn Everett said.<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n<\/span> <\/span><\/p>\nThe SM school building at the LPES, which was donated by SMFI in partnership with SM Prime Holdings (SMPH) in 2017, now boasts 21 solar panels\u2014estimated to produce 6510 watt-p. With the savings on electricity, the school may realign their budget to more efforts and other innovations that will give the students an environment more conducive to learning.<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n<\/span> <\/span><\/p>\nIt takes a village to raise a child<\/span><\/i><\/b><\/span><\/p>\nSMFI executive director Debbie Sy underscored the importance of collective efforts in advancing the learning experience of every student in the country: \u201cWe believe that collaboration can drive growth and become a force for good in addressing societal challenges. CSR partnerships can create solutions that improve society by fostering learning, promoting innovation and gaining access to new technologies, such as the Sinag schools program. CSR collaboration can pool resources, both financial and human resources – between multiple organizations which can amplify social good impact.\u201d<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n<\/span> <\/span><\/p>\n\u201cThe establishment of an ever-evolving CSR strategy and partnerships will help companies and non-government organizations in developing and implementing crucial social good programs over decades while having procedures in place that integrate social and environmental priorities into CSR core strategy \u2013 all in close collaboration with stakeholders,\u201d she further added.<\/span><\/span><\/p>\nMoreover, Everett mentioned how SMFI and Maxeon share the similar set of values and interest when it comes to helping Filipino learners: \u201cWe have this concept of powering positive change in the world. We are happy to be working together with SM Foundation to power up the Lemery Pilot Elementary School.\u201d<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n<\/span> <\/span><\/p>\n\u201cIndividually, we can do so much. But together we can do actually more. For us to bring our solar technology and SMFI to bring in their schools, these things are much better together than they would be apart,\u201d he concluded.<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n<\/span> <\/span><\/p>\nSpreading social good all the way<\/span><\/i><\/b><\/span><\/p>\nSM Foundation made sure to truly touch the lives of the learners and teachers of LPES as it donated eight desktop computers, 200 bags with school supplies, and more than 160 pcs brand new kinder and elementary books to further promote the love for reading among the students.
