The E&C Program provides for collaborations with Jollibee Group’s Human Resources (“HR”) on E&C training for new hires and annual E&C refreshers, as well as additional training programs, including approval of initiatives made at the region level. Other collaborations with HR include designing and implementing training reinforcement programs (coaching, etc.)

The E&C Training Program documents the training component of the integrated E&C Program for the Jollibee Group, and covers all employees of the Jollibee Group, whether full-time or part-time, and regardless of employment status.

The Jollibee Group is not legally allowed to provide training to employees of third party contractors that it has engaged to provide services. However, it requires its third party contractors to ensure that their employees are equipped with appropriate training following their own standards of ethics and conduct, that are not inconsistent with ours.
Members of the Board of Directors shall also be provided with regular updates on relevant ethics and compliance policies of the Jollibee Group in such manner as will be appropriate, as aligned among Global Human Resources, Global Legal & Ethics, and the Office of the Chairman.
