On March 3, 2026, the business community in the Philippines came together to celebrate resilience, empowerment, and progress at the Annual International Women’s Day Luncheon: Give to Gain hosted by the Australian‑New Zealand Chamber of Commerce Philippines, Inc. (ANZCHAM) at the Makati Shangri‑La Hotel in Makati City, Philippines.
Among the distinguished partners and supporters of the event was Guild Solutions, Inc. (GSI) — a Manila‑based subsidiary of Guild Group Holdings, Australia, known for its expertise in business process outsourcing, shared services, and consultancy across Australia, New Zealand, and the Philippines.
Championing Inclusive Progress
The luncheon, guided by the meaningful theme Give to Gain, aimed to highlight how generosity — whether through mentorship, opportunity, or leadership — delivers collective progress for individuals and organizations alike. Designed as both a celebration and a call to action, the event welcomed business leaders, educators, entrepreneurs, and professionals to reflect on recent strides toward gender equality and discuss practical strategies for fostering a more inclusive future.
Key speakers included ambassadors, corporate leaders, and advocates who shared insights on bridging representation gaps, investing in talent, and cultivating impactful mentorship — all central threads underscored by ANZCHAM’s commitment to strengthening communities and building opportunity.
Guild Solutions, Inc.’s Role and Values
As an ANZCHAM partner, Guild Solutions, Inc. demonstrated its continued dedication not only to professional excellence but also to community and cultural engagement. While GSI is recognised for delivering tailored outsourcing solutions that help organisations optimise operations and drive growth, its participation in this flagship event reaffirmed its support for gender equity and the professional development of women — values increasingly embraced across the global business landscape.
GSI’s broader corporate philosophy centers on creating meaningful impact for partners and stakeholders while fostering inclusive environments where talent thrives. Participation in events like Give to Gain aligns GSI with broader efforts to elevate voices, champion diversity, and strengthen collaboration across sectors.
Looking Ahead
The Annual International Women’s Day Luncheon offered a platform for idea exchange, meaningful connection, and shared commitment toward gender‑inclusive leadership. For Guild Solutions, Inc., engagement in such events reflects both corporate responsibility and a deeper belief that investing in people — especially women — amplifies collective success.
As organisations continue to advance inclusive practices and create space for diverse leadership, strategic participation in forums like Give to Gain helps signal a shared commitment: when we give time, mentorship, and opportunity, we all gain a stronger, more resilient future.
