CSR & Discussions on Industry’s Issues with Different Government Agencies
Flash Express is the first-ever express logistics company in the Philippines to initiate an open discussion regarding issues and concerns in the e-commerce logistics industry before the seven Police Chiefs of the NCR Southern Police District last July 2023. The company raises awareness on crime prevention in the e-commerce logistics sector through PNP. Flash Express has also partnered with the Land Transportation Office (LTO), Bureau of Fire and Protection (BFP), Department of Information and Communications Technology (DICT), Public Employment Services Office – Bulacan (PESO), and other local government units all over the country to discuss all logistics-related concerns.

For our second year anniversary, the company intends to continue to work with employees, customers, business partners and the entire e-commerce logistics business in the future to provide sustainable opportunities locally and further enhance the Flash Express ecosystem through business-driven innovation. That’s why we wanted to make ‘2loy ang Asenso’ our anniversary brand theme this year.” Wansong said.
