Corporate Culture
To nurture its corporate culture, ACM has adopted a central theme with the objective of having every member of the organisation mindful of practices and attributes that promote its Core Values. For the last 3 years, ACM has ICE — Innovation, Creativity and Entrepreneurship, as its theme for the organisation.The effects of the Covid-19 pandemic gave ACM the impetus to implement changes. Three task force units were created to drive the critical changes — People Task Force, Process and Technology Task Force and the Product Task Force. The People Task Force addresses the impact of COVID on the organisation and the workforce. The collaboration between the Product Task Force and Process and Technology Task Force has fast-tracked the digitisation/automation of several business processes most particularly, the selling and marketing processes of the company. With the use of artificial intelligence, sales are now drawn from on-line advertisements through social media platforms and the company’s website. Product presentations are now done via video conferencing and other digital tools. Spearheaded by the Product Task Force, new business opportunities were identified and resulted into the launching of a pivot business that is expected to augment the income from the company’s core business.

Achievements and Impact
After operating for 24 years in the Cavite and Batangas areas in Southern Luzon, the company ventured out to the Visayas region by initiating a project in 2015 in Iloilo City. The 14-hectare Salas Real project has become one of the most successful and multi awarded projects of the Company. Subsequently, the management acquired and developed a 1.5-hectare adjacent property offering economically priced housing units. The Company is currently evaluating a number of prospective properties in Iloilo and the neighbouring city of Bacolod. In 2021, ACM is also set to launch an affordable housing project in Baliuag Bulacan, close to the upcoming international airport in the Philippines.The Company has mapped out a land bank blueprint that involves creating more projects in fast growing areas in the country. To support its upsized future revenues and market coverage, the Company will raise additional funding by securing more banking facilities and capital infusion, preferably via initial public offering.
