Corporate Social Responsibility
The CSR program was started in 1998 with the donation of linens and pillow cases to typhoon flood victims.  The management has since then decided to help people in need as an important part of its business.  They called it "Sogo Cares".

Through the program, Sogo extends its service to the community through the Doctors on Wheels (DOW) program that provides free medical consultations, examinations, medications to under served communities throughout the country.

The DOW medical bus is equipped and furnished with four examining beds, chairs, lights and other equipment.  The medical mission is regularly staffed with volunteer doctors, social workers, nurses, pharmacists and Hotel Sogo personnel.
