    As an example of actions that the company has taken to implement the Global Comapct Principles is the "Industrial Peace Council." This Labor-Management Council was installed in 1987 and revived in 1995. In April 1998, this was renamed as the Industrial Peace Council. Its Vision was defined as " The Mabuhay Family in a collective quest for industrial peace. " Its Mission was defined as follows:
    - to promote industrial peace through participative resolution of issues and concerns
    - to provide a venue for people empowerment and continuous improvement
    - to address environment and community concerns in the context of caring and service

    The Industrial Peace Council meets regularly to foster harmonious relationships among employees, develop mutual respect among employees, provide a venue for employees to participate in problem solving and instill a commitment to quality and safety in all levels of the organization.

    -------------

    The negotiations for the current Collective Bargaining Agreement ( CBA ) was concluded in only 6 meetings. This was a significant improvement considering that the previous negotiations resulted in a deadlock which necessitated government intervention. The Industrial Peace Council of Mabuhay Vinyl was given the 2003 Outstanding Labor-Management Cooperation Award by the Philippine League of Labor - Management Cooperation Practitioners, in cooperation with the government''s Department of Labor & Employment
