Established in 2014, the ACES Awards recognizes organizations and leaders across Asia for advancing
responsible business, leadership and sustainability.
The recognitions reflect how Foundever connects workplace excellence, talent development and community partnerships to move people and businesses
forward together.
Creating a workplace where people thrive
Building on its recognition as one of the Top Workplaces in Asia for six years, Foundever has reached another milestone, earning its title as Asia’s Best Workplace of the Year 2026 at the ACES Awards.
This recognition celebrates the company’s holistic approach to employee experience and its commitment to creating an environment where people can thrive, grow and build meaningful careers.
It reflects Foundever continued investment in its people through digital innovation, continuous learning, career development and holistic wellbeing.
Across the Philippines, more than 33,000 employees are empowered with EverSuite, Foundever suite of digital tools that supports productivity and collaboration, and EverLearn, its virtual learning platform that helps employees strengthen their capabilities and develop future-ready skills.
Complementing these resources is Thrive at Foundever, the company’s holistic wellness program, that supports employee wellbeing and reinforces a workplace culture where people feel supported in their personal and professional growth.
That same commitment to creating opportunities extends beyond the workplace, earning Foundever its first Nation Builder Award.
Through its University and Community Partnership (UCP) program, the company connects Filipinos with skills development and employment opportunities.
Its social impact arm, Foundever.org, partners with Caritas Philippines on the Pathways Program, helping underserved youth build workplace skills, confidence and career readiness, among others.
Together, these recognitions celebrate a shared commitment – helping people thrive at work while creating opportunities that move communities forward.
Leadership that moves people forward
Lim’s recognition as one of Asia’s Most Inspiring Executives for the second year celebrates his leadership and advocacy for talent development, career growth and opportunities that extend beyond the workplace.
As Vice President for Human Resources and Talent Acquisition of Foundever in Asia-Pacific, Lim champions a people strategy that connects employee development with broader workforce readiness.
Through learning, career pathways and community partnerships, this approach supports a shared goal – helping more people build their capabilities and access opportunities to succeed.
“Throughout my career, I’ve believed that everyone deserves the opportunity to discover their potential and build a better future for themselves and their families,” Lim said.
“Being recognized for this advocacy is meaningful for me because it reinforces the impact we can make when we invest in people. I’m proud to see this commitment extend beyond our workplace, helping open doors for communities and creating opportunities that can make a lasting difference across the country,” he added.
