Representatives of One Meralco Foundation, Meralco’s Facilities, Safety and Security Management and Ateneo Center for Education prepare food packs for distribution at Ateneo de Manila University. Manila Electric Company emerged as the champion in an inter-company competition that aims to promote responsible waste management in the country. The power distributor bested 12 other Philippine companies in the X-Trash Challenge organized by the Philippine Business for Social Progress and Basic Environmental Systems and Technology Inc. The competition, which ran from April to September 2022, involved the collection and donation of recyclable waste materials such as paper, metals and plastics—all of which had equivalent environmental points that were converted into cash.
