PRIMEX does not have elaborate corporate social responsibility programs or projects because it is a small business enterprise employing few people. However, we are committed to continue upholding the principles of the Global Compact and will integrate applicable principles in our operations and in our dealings with our clients. In particular, our Company has been supporting the Environment-related Principles, not only through our involvement in the design and implementation of different fisheries and coastal resource management-related projects of government agencies in the Philippines and Indonesia, but also by supporting activities on environment protection. We have also helped victims of calamities, such as typhoon Ketsana, by donating cash to organizations which distribute food and supplies to them. Our non-profit organization, the PRIMEX Center for Environment and Sustainable Development (CESD), has been our vehicle for a more grassroots-oriented approach to environmental management and conservation. In recent years, we have also been involved in projects assisting regional centers for health development and local government unit health personnel in their preparedness plan for combating emerging and reemerging infectious diseases, including HIV/AIDS, dengue, avian flu, and H1N1. PRIMEX-CESD has been continually supportive of communities of people living with HIV and AIDS through community visits, facilitation of self assessment in AIDS competence, and documentation of their activities.   

PRIMEX upholds and reiterates the Global Compact's ten principles in the areas of  human rights, labour, the environment and anti-corruption as its motivation to continually provide employment and business to people and entities.

Human rights in the workplace – PRIMEX provides its staff with safe and healthy working conditions with medical benefits, insurance, and additional transportation allowance to meet the increasing prices of fuel while for its consultants, PRIMEX ensures that they are covered with travel insurance and are located in safe housing facilities in assignments out of the home office;

Not complicit in human rights abuses – PRIMEX condemns systematic and continuous human rights abuses;

Upholds the freedom of association and right to collective bargaining – PRIMEX is a small organization and has no union but its leadership is open to listen to suggestions and requests from staff; sometimes, PRIMEX anticipates the needs of its staff and provides for these needs even if unsolicited;

Eliminates all forms of compulsory labor -  PRIMEX has a self-motivated staff committed to excellence in their work, thus, if a deadline has to be met, the staff take it upon themselves to meet that deadline even if it calls for extra time inputs which is compensated by management with additional remuneration, food, and transportation allowance;

Abolition of child labour – PRIMEX does not support child labour nor employ minor children;

Elimination of discrimination in respect of employment and occupation – PRIMEX provides employment opportunities to staff who have limited physical capacities by allowing them to work from the home and submit their work online;

Supports a precautionary approach to environmental challenges – In recognition of a global effort to minimize global warming, PRIMEX instills its own efforts by turning off the lights between 12:00 noon to 1:00 in the afternoon, recycling paper, and reducing paper use by submitting electronic documents;

Undertakes the initiatives to promote greater environmental responsibility – PRIMEX implements environmental projects by hiring environmentally-conscious consultants and staff.

Encourages the development and diffusion of environmentally friendly technologies – PRIMEX-CESD supports the production of biofuels and organic fertilizers.

Business should work against corruption in all its forms, including extortion and bribery – PRIMEX is not in the practice of greasing its way to success – PRIMEX plays fair and does not bribe officers of funding agencies to win contracts.
