Real Food, Real Sustainability
Alaskan Milk Corporation (AMC) was established in 1972 and registered as a corporation with the Philippine Securities and Exchange Commission in 1994. Acquired by Royal Friesland Campina in 2012, it is one of the world’s largest dairy cooperatives. AMC produces, processes, manufactures, and sells food items, dairy products, and fruit and vegetable juices.
A Leader in Nutrition and Sustainability
A recognized leader in the food and nutrition industry, AMC continues to drive positive change through both its business operations and corporate social responsibility (CSR) initiatives. The company aims to break the cycle of malnutrition, alleviate poverty in the Philippines, and establish sustainable, intergenerational community projects.
AMC believes that good nutrition empowers underprivileged children with better health, improved cognitive function, and stronger academic performance. With a commitment to sustainability, the company continuously strives to provide affordable nutrition to every Filipino household.
Partnerships for Nation-Building
AMC actively collaborates with the Philippine government and various external stakeholders, including the Department of Education, the Department of Social Welfare and Development, and local government units. Additionally, it partners with organizations such as the Philippine Food Bank Foundation, Defending Family Values, the Association of Child Caring Agencies of the Philippines, and various orphanages to extend its impact.
Alaska School Milk Feeding Program
One of AMC’s most impactful initiatives is the Alaska School Milk Feeding Program, a school-based milk feeding initiative in partnership with the Department of Education and the Department of Social Welfare and Development. The program provides free milk for 120 feeding days to severely malnourished schoolchildren. Since its inception in 2016, it has reached 335 public schools, benefiting 37,019 children across Luzon, Visayas, and Mindanao, including disaster-affected areas.
Employee-Driven Community Engagement
AMC fosters a culture of social responsibility through its employee engagement program, Milk for Life, in collaboration with the Association of Child Caring Agencies of the Philippines (ACCAP), the largest network of private orphanages in the country. AMC employees serve as brand ambassadors, contributing a portion of their salaries to support the initiative while also volunteering at orphanages.
Through its partnership with the Children’s Hour Foundation, AMC employees donate the equivalent of one hour of their salaries annually to support education, health and nutrition, child protection, and welfare programs for Filipino children. In recognition of its long-standing commitment, AMC received the One Hour Pioneer Champion Award from the Children’s Hour Foundation in 2019 for its unwavering support since 2002.
Expanding Community Care Beyond Nutrition
AMC collaborates with the Philippine Food Bank Foundation, supplying free milk products monthly to over 129 beneficiary institutions. The company extends its community impact through the Alaska Aces Summer Sports Outreach Program, which teaches basketball, volleyball, and soccer to children.
In addition to nutrition and sports programs, AMC champions environmental sustainability by partnering with the ABS-CBN Lingkod Kapamilya Foundation’s Bantay Kalikasan initiative. The company ensures the responsible disposal of used lead-acid batteries from vehicles and industrial oil from its plants through accredited recycling partners.
Furthering its advocacy for public awareness on hunger and malnutrition, AMC joined forces with the Philippine Movie and Television Review and Classification Board (MTRCB) in 2019 to amplify its message nationwide.
Through its commitment to nutrition, sustainability, and community empowerment, AMC continues to make a meaningful impact, ensuring that every Filipino has access to quality nutrition and a healthier future.
