Topic Brief:
In light of the recent boom of building enterprises around solutions to major problems, can one truly do well by doing good?
Most solutions are optimized to deliver results at the cost of one or more factors (i.e. the environment, the community, etc.) Lab.PH tries to answer this question by taking note of as many as 250 factors, aggregating and utilizing this data to increase the impact of local enterprises in the Philippines. Vinci Nakpil-Roxas talks about the journey of Lab.ph from the beginnings of Bancom as a financial institution, to its current pursuit of fulfilling its founder’s vision of community-driven economic growth through designing tailor-fit portfolios for rural communities across the Philippines.
