Social responsibility is an integral part of the Tan Holdings culture and values system. We believe the idea of sacrificing one’s time and energy to help others is what true volunteerism is all about. It is the yardstick by which our character and value as individuals or as an organization will ultimately be measured.
The Micronesian region is composed of many small island communities where resources are very limited. This makes community work so much more important for us at Tan Holdings. That is the reason why our executives and employees actively contribute personal time and resources to support local communities and varied non-profit associations in the region.The “iServe iGive Back” logo is a testament to Tan Holdings and all its affiliates’ collective embrace and commitment to true volunteerism at all levels.
