The Global Movement
In April 2013, the World Bank released a statement establishing an ambitious goal: to end extreme poverty on a global scale, decreasing the percentage of those living with less than US$1.90 per day to no more than 3% of the global population by the year 2030.
There are still 87 million of the Southeast Asian population living below the national poverty line. Poverty is more than just a lack of money. It is also demonstrated through the lack of access and ability to afford necessities ranging from nutrients, healthcare, and education. These obstacles faced hinder them from living long and healthy lives and reaching their full potential.
Therefore, one of the most important areas to focus on is to economically empower those in poverty, to encourage them to improve their livelihoods and essentially exit the poverty cycle.
As corporations around the world are jumping on the wagon of transforming the way they run their business and developing their own ESG measurements in alignment with their CSR efforts. Zooming in to the “S” aspect of the ESG, it is more crucial now than ever to evolve your company’s social efforts to address social and economic justice.
People Systems Technologies (PST) recognizes the inequalities faced by the marginalized and vulnerable sectors of society. These societal gaps are further emphasized by the economic disparity among nations, which in effect leads to unequal and lesser opportunities for those in the grassroots.
Transform your approach in your CSR efforts, join us in our efforts to economically empower the poor to think and act beyond their immediate survival and achieve the “S” in your ESG.

For Global Movement
In April 2013, the World Bank released a statement establishing an ambitious goal: to end extreme poverty on a global scale. The goal entails decreasing the percentage of those living with less than US$1.90 per day to no more than 3% of the global population by the year 2030.
Zeroing into Southeast Asia, there are still 87 million of the Southeast Asian population living below the national poverty line. Poverty is more than just lack of money. It is also demonstrated through the lack of access and ability to afford necessities ranging from nutrients, healthcare and education. These obstacles faced hinder them from living long and healthy lives and reaching their full potential.
Therefore, one of the most important areas to focus on is to economically empower those in poverty, to encourage them to improve their livelihoods and essentially exit the poverty cycle.
To economically empower is to enable the poor to think and act beyond their immediate survival, to exercise greater control over both their resources and personal life choices. People Systems Technologies (PST) recognizes the inequalities faced by the marginalized and vulnerable sectors of society. These societal gaps are further emphasized by the economic disparity among nations, which in effect leads to unequal and lesser opportunities for those in the grassroots.
