The Foundation is separate and distinct from the Zuellig Group of companies, that is, it is not the corporate social responsibility (CSR) arm of any Zuellig company. Zuellig companies and affiliates continue to pursue their own CSR programs.
The Foundation is the Zuellig family’s philanthropic vehicle to contribute to the nation-building of the Philippines, the country where its enterprises started and flourished, and where Dr. Stephen Zuellig and his brother Gilbert were born. ZFF concentrates on the philanthropic mission articulated by the family: to promote effective and sustainable healthcare systems in the Philippines, with an emphasis on primary healthcare services in rural communities.
