PARANAQUE, Philippines – Champions for societal change and sustainable and inclusive development gather under one roof anew as the Nation Builders and MOSLIV Awards.

The most prestigious MOSLIV Awards are all set on November 28, 2024, at the Grand Ballroom of the Okada Manila.

Government leaders, policy makers, social workers, philanthropists, business heads, and young Filipinos were lauded for their efforts and achievements towards nation-building and sustainable progress during the grand awarding ceremony organized by Sustainability Standards, Incorporated.

MOSLIV, which stands for Most Sustainable and ‘Liveable’, aims to rally Filipinos together to join the global fight towards the achievement of the United Nations Sustainable Development Goals for a climate-neutral society within the next few decades.

“We are almost halfway through the UN SDG 2050 Less Carbon Footprints and Zero Carbon Agenda. While we have experienced setbacks because of COVID-19, the learnings we bring from the past couple of years made us stronger and better as we face more challenges in the future,” SSI President and CEO Mr. Kenneth Rocete said.
