Customer‑experience services leader Foundever secured three top recognitions during the 2026 Asia Corporate Excellence & Sustainability (ACES) Awards, marking another milestone for the company’s people‑centered operations and social‑impact initiatives. The firm took home the Asia’s Best Workplace of the Year 2026 award, while its APAC HR and Talent Acquisition Vice President Willy Lim was named among Asia’s Most Inspiring Executives. Foundever also earned its first‑ever Nation Builder Award at the event.
Launched in 2014, the ACES Awards honor Asian organizations and leaders that champion responsible business practices, strong leadership, and sustainability. For Foundever, the triple win underscores its core strategy of linking workplace quality, talent development, and community partnerships to support both people and businesses.
The Asia’s Best Workplace of the Year recognition builds on Foundever’s six‑year run as one of Asia’s Top Workplaces. The award acknowledges the company’s holistic focus on employee experience and its goal of building an environment where staff can grow, advance their careers, and thrive. In the Philippines alone, more than 33,000 employees benefit from Foundever’s digital resources, including the EverSuite productivity and collaboration tools and EverLearn virtual learning platform designed to build future‑ready skills. Complementing these systems is the Thrive at Foundever wellness program, which supports employees’ personal and professional well‑being.
Foundever’s commitment to creating opportunities outside the office earned the group its Nation Builder Award. Through its University and Community Partnership program, the company provides Filipinos with skills training and employment pathways. Its social‑impact arm Foundever.org works alongside Caritas Philippines under the Pathways Program, helping underserved youth build workplace confidence, job‑ready capabilities, and prepare for long‑term careers.
Willy Lim’s second‑consecutive recognition as one of Asia’s Most Inspiring Executives celebrates his leadership in talent development and workforce readiness. As APAC HR and Talent Acquisition VP, Lim drives a people strategy that connects in‑house employee growth with wider community employment opportunities through structured learning, career pathways, and community partnerships.
“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.”
The ACES honors add to Foundever’s growing list of recent accolades, including two Circle of Excellence distinctions at the Asia CEO Awards 2026 and recognition from the HR Excellence Awards. Taken together, these recognitions reflect Foundever’s ongoing mission to move people and businesses forward by investing in employees, nurturing future‑ready talent, and expanding economic opportunities for communities it serves.
