Since then, the company has gone on to achieve great success thanks to a high demand for its services – Asialink now employs several hundred staff members and thousands of independent loan consultants across 80 branches throughout the Philippines. 2003 was a pivotal year for the company as the South Asialink Finance Corporation, a prior division of Asialink, formed to strategically strengthen the group’s presence in the southern areas of Luzon. Furthermore, its creation factored in the provision of specialised loan products, rather than the spectrum provided by Asialink. The company further evolves in 2007 – on the 4th of May, South Asialink was incorporated as its own separate entity. Beginning with seven branches in Batangas, Legazpi, Lipa, Lucena, Naga, Santa Cruz, and Santa Rosa, South Asialink focused on supplying a plethora of products, including doctor’s loans, business loans, microbusiness loans, beneficiary loans, and allottee loans. The South Asialink Finance Corporation is on amission tomake loans and financing accessible to those that need it most.

In addition, its offerings have evolved to collateralised products. Such products focus primarily upon vehicle financing – including, car and truck loans, and secondhand car and truck financing. In 2021, these services drew in a total of 10,386 clients, which was 6.4% higher than 2020’s total. 6,102 of the clients served were new to South Asialink. The company’s statistics show that of these 10,386 customers, an estimated 20% did not possess a bank account in their name, and 10% had previously had their loan or financing applications declined by banks. Moreover, these statistics show that the company possesses a varied clientele. Whilst around 70% of its clients are micro, small, or medium sized enterprises, the industries within which these businesses are based is rather diverse, for example, 34% of its clients stem from the trucking industry. Whereas approximately 10% come from the construction industry, and a further 31% work within trades, 12% are hardware specialists, and the final 13% come from other various industries.

The DFC works in collaboration with partners in the private sector to create finance solutions for some of the most pressing challenges within developing countries.

South Asialink has direct experience with the biases of most banks, as its senior management is comprised of former bank executives and managers who recognised the issue over two decades ago. As such, the company supplies premium financial services to the individuals, businesses, employees, and organisations that need them most. By forging the perfect balance between serving this target market, increasing value for shareholders, and risk management, South Asialink has accomplished a feat failed by numerous large financial institutions. The team that embedded this approach into the company’s structure consists of University of Western Australia, Ateneo Graduate School of Business, and De La Salle University alumni. Led by Chairman of the Asialink Group and SAFC Chairman, Ruben Y. Lugtu II, the company benefits from his experience working as the Director of West Point Collection and Business Services, Inc.; Forbes Financial Consultancy Corp.; and ALFC Insurance Agency, Inc.; and many more. The leaders of the business have cultivated a workplace that supports equality, with the rights of women being a main priority. Empowering its team members is something that comes naturally to South Asialink, and it recruits team members without discrimination – in fact, women hold 70% of the organisation’s top positions, such as Deputy COO for Operations, Finance Controller, Treasury Head, Chief Legal Counsel, HR and Training Head, Compliance and Risk Officer, Branch Marketing Group Head, Special Accounts Group Head, etc. As a result, approximately 60% of South Asialink’s team are women. In 2022, the company hopes to continue leading the way for financial institutions in the Philippines, as it serves as a shining example of an ethical business. Further, it plans to continue the record-breaking growth it accomplished in 2021, where the company’s net income grew by an outstanding 234%.

All in all, its goal is to ‘save the world by coconut charcoal’, leading from the front as the pioneers of using this medium instead of charcoal from trees. Fundamentally – with the rate of deforestation due to an overzealous lumber industry and other perpetrators of industrial deforestation – finding alternative methods to the use of tree bark for burning and combustion is a pivotal contribution to environmental conservation efforts. This has made PT TOM a critical voice in the conversation, and as a certified company with accreditations from ISO Selling the most natural and sustainable alternative fuel briquettes, PT TOM Cococha Indonesia has become popular in the hookah, sisha, and waterpipe markets.

It would like to extend its thanks to the partners it has made in the waste business industry over the years, partners that have allowed it to grow in scale and repute within the market segment. In this same vein, its expansion has also been in a far more literal sense. Its headquarters – also doubling up as its production facility – know totals 8000 square metres, containing its premium quality coconut shell charcoal creation facilities that draw the resource out of the raw material. Located in Bogor, Jakarta, this facility has made a name for itself with the excellence of the processes that it uses.

APAC / South East Asia Business Awards 2022 15 Best Environmental Impact Business 2022 - Indonesia conserved without the companies that rely on said resources losing out. Human life, in essence, is directly related to the health of the world around us, after all. Therefore, it is the PT TOM goal to never let its market forget how much this is the case, championing a mindset of using human ingenuity to serve not just humans, but the denizens of the wider world too, by ensuring that the environment is better preserved going forward. Coconut charcoal’s reputation as a green themed option for combustion includes the ability to make use of the shells of agricultural products. The use of such materials effectively does two things for the green movement. Firstly, it ensures that waste is recycled in a way that means it can serve an additional purpose after the original one has been served, and secondly, it preserves another precious resource by substituting in something that is far more readily available. Having received an award for excellence in its home nation of Indonesia in 2019, as well as an award for creativity in business, its new methods of environmental problem solving are becoming more and more well known across the waste product sector, with a multitude of big names reaching out to it regularly for partnership.

After all, with its growing popularity in the shisha and waterpipe market, customer opinion is a crucial part of the process. Shisha, waterpipe, and hookah as a market is a relatively small industry, but it is one that is growing day by day, granting customers the following unique advantages that coconut charcoal gives over its wood charcoal counterpart. Firstly, it burns hotter, with a higher calorific value, meaning less of a wait when planning to unwind with a hookah pipe. Secondly, it also leaves almost no residuals, with far less ash created than wood charcoal, ensuring a more satisfying experience with far less mess to clean up at the end of it, as well as the knowledge that material was not reaped through the wonton destruction of natural habitats. With this in mind, it is east to see how PT TOM has become an exemplary element of the biofuel industry, causing many of its heaviest hitters to turn their eyes to the good work it has been doing, and looking forward to only expanding on this reputation in the future.
