Catholic Business Network of the Philippines

 Integrating Catholic Teachings in the Workplace

A guide to living your faith in your professional life.

As Catholics, our faith is not confined to Sunday Mass or personal devotion—it shapes every aspect of our lives, including our professional endeavors. The Catholic Church calls on business leaders to operate with integrity, fairness, and a commitment to the common good.

The Catholic Business Network of the Philippines (CBNPH) provides resources and guidance for living out these principles in the workplace, fostering a professional environment where faith and business go hand in hand.

Faith in Action

Living out your faith in business may not always be easy, but it is profoundly impactful. By aligning your business practices with Catholic teachings, you contribute to a better, more just society while setting an example for others to follow.

Guiding Principles for Catholic Business Leaders

  • Promote Human Dignity
    Recognize the inherent value of every individual—employees, clients, and stakeholders alike. Treat everyone with respect and fairness, ensuring that work environments uphold justice and inclusivity.
  • Commit to the Common Good
    Go beyond profit-making and focus on how your business can positively impact society. Support initiatives that promote community development, environmental stewardship, and the welfare of the less fortunate.
  • Practice Ethical Leadership
    Lead by example. Base decisions on honesty, transparency, and Catholic moral teachings. Cultivate trust within your organization and inspire others to follow a similar path.
  • Serve Others Through Your Work
    View your profession as a vocation—a means of serving others and glorifying God. Whether by creating jobs, improving products, or serving communities, let your work reflect Christ’s teachings of love and service.
