Sustainability in Our Operations

Our approach to sustainability zeroes in on what directly affects our operations and our stakeholders

Materials

We strive to keep sustainability ingrained in all our efforts, including in the way we utilize raw materials to produce energy. We continuously implement reliability and efficiency improvement programs which simultaneously minimize the environmental impact of how we handle our materials.

Energy

We strive to responsibly utilize the energy in the fuels we use to produce electricity and to manage our energy consumption. We also employ energy management systems and various technological innovations to significantly reduce the energy we consume during our operations.

Emissions

We recognize the need to monitor and control our emissions, and consequently protect the quality of the air the residents of our host communities breathe. We leverage on high efficiency, low emission (HELE) technologies in our power plants that help us consistently limit our emissions within the emission benchmarks set by the Department of Environment and Natural Resources and the World Bank.

Waste

As part of our holistic approach to environmental stewardship, we implement several initiatives to manage our waste that are compliant with national waste management policies. Moreover, we contribute to closing the loop of waste by partnering with industries and the government for the recovery and recycling of some of our non-hazardous wastes.

Water

We strive to use water responsibly to preserve the ability of the community in the areas where we operate to utilize water now and for future generations. Our pursuit to responsible water use is in line with the commitment of our parent company San Miguel Corporation to reduce water consumption by 50% over the next five years.
