Home Credit Philippines Makes Pride Month 2025 Truly Makulay at Home

Home Credit Philippines (HCPH), the country’s leading consumer finance  company, continues to champion a diverse and inclusive workplace where every individual is valued and  empowered, regardless of sexual orientation, gender identity, or expression. In line with this commitment, HCPH celebrated Pride Month 2025 with vibrant and meaningful activities that fostered genuine  empowerment and visibility for every shade of pride.

The celebration centered on the theme Makulay ang PRIDE at HOME #AtHomeKaDito and was led by  the Pride Club, HCPH’s employee resource group for LGBTQIA+ employees and allies. Launched in 2022,  the Pride Club serves as the official representative body dedicated to advancing diversity, equity, and  inclusion (DE&I) within the company.

Celebrating every color of Pride at Home

HCPH’s Pride Month festivities opened with a general assembly for Pride Club members in May, bringing  together about 200 employees. The event introduced the new set of officers, showcased the club’s  milestones, and outlined plans for the year ahead. Additionally, I am Remarkable Workshop was conducted  by Chris Eugenio, board member and advisor for local LGBTQ+ nonprofit Philippine Financial & Inter

Industry Pride (PFIP), inspired employees to embrace authenticity and lead with Pride.

Following the kickoff, the Pride Club rolled out interactive initiatives to drive engagement and further support  HCPH’s DE&I commitment. Among these were Pose with Pride, a mirror installation at the office that  encouraged employees to reflect on their Pride stories, and Express Your Pride, a social media invitation  to employees to update their profile photos using a dedicated blast frame and share their journeys on  Facebook and Instagram.

“Our Pride Month celebration reflects what Home Credit stands for—a workplace where everyone feels  safe, valued, and empowered to thrive. Pride Month is not just a celebration, but a reminder of our  commitment to champion diversity, equity, and inclusion every day. Through the Pride Club, we will continue  to foster genuine empowerment and visibility for the LGBTQIA+ community and help build a culture where  everyone feels at home, every voice is heard, and every shade of Pride is celebrated,” said Portia La-ab,  HCPH ESG Lead

A true Home for all

Home Credit’s commitment to DE&I goes beyond month-long celebrations. DE&I is deeply embedded in  the company’s culture, shaping policies, programs, and everyday practices that create a workplace where  everyone feels safe, valued, and empowered. Guided by the belief that No Small Roles, Everyone is  Important, the company works to ensure that employees—regardless of background, gender identity, or  orientation—find belonging and purpose.

At the core of this commitment are progressive policies designed to meet the diverse needs of employees.  These include enabling eligible workers to enroll same-sex partners as dependents in medical benefits,  offering wellness leaves, and providing gender-neutral restrooms across office spaces. HCPH also  undergoes regular assessments, such as the Gender Equality Assessment, Results, and Strategies  (GEARS) evaluation, to help identify strengths, gaps, and opportunities in its people strategies and  programs.

Beyond internal initiatives, Home Credit actively partners with organizations like the Philippine Financial &  Inter-Industry Pride, the Philippine LGBT Chamber of Commerce, and the Philippine Business Coalition for  Women Empowerment. These collaborations help the company align with best practices and strengthen its  DE&I efforts.
