Corporate Culture & Company Activities

GGC prides itself on being a tight-knit, family-oriented organization. Although stringent corporate policies have been established to ensure the highest levels of patient and customer satisfaction, the company offers a variety of enjoyable social activities that encourage both camaraderie and teamwork. For example, both before and after the Covid-19 pandemic, the entire staff was treated to excursions to the exotic Boracay island resort to participate in team-building events. In addition, to promote a healthy and active lifestyle, a company-wide Sportsfest is arranged featuring competitive tournaments for basketball, volleyball, and bowling.

Of course, social responsibility is also a core value of the GGC. Time is always dedicated to giving back to the community. Staff routinely participate in dental missions such as “Operational Smile”. Volunteering in these social programs provides intrinsic rewards and self-fulfillment.

You can never put a price to goodwill.

As the leading dental conglomerate in the Philippines, it is incumbent for the GGC to maintain a constant strategy of continuous growth. Each brand of business has its own methods of making an impact in the communities it affects.

GAOC works to accommodate increased patient flow by constructing extensions of two key clinic locations: BGC and Robinsons Magnolia. In addition, its GAOC clinics always offer the latest in state-of-the-art equipment and the highest quality consumables for its pool of discerning patients.

NOVODENTAL currently has 15 clinics in the Metro Manila area. By the end of 2024, this number will increase to 20 locations, thus establishing Novodental as the undisputed largest chain of dental clinics in the country. GGC’s goal is to establish 50 clinics by the end of 2026.
