Power retailer Manila Electric Company (Meralco) said Monday it held a dialogue with the Climate Change Commission (CCC) Philippines to drive sustainability initiatives and bolster the country’s transition towards a greener future.
“As one of the largest players in the power industry here in the country, we are conscious of the impact of our business to the environment, and we are one with the government in mitigating the risk of global warming attributed to carbon emissions and other chemicals produced during power generation and
distribution,” said Meralco executive vice president and chief operating officer Ronnie Aperocho.
Meralco executives also showcased the distribution utility’s electric vehicles and charging stations, along with its digital laboratory―the Powertech Innovation and eXperience Lab (PIXL).
These initiatives underscore Meralco’s dedication to leveraging innovative technologies for improved customer service and more sustainable business operations, the company said.
Meralco said that in support of the United Nations Sustainability Development Goals, it established in 2019 its overarching sustainability agenda, ‘Powering the Good Life’, which is supported by four pillars: power, planet, people and prosperity.
