Focused on
its commitment to environmental sustainability, Ajinomoto Philippines Corp.
(APC) continues to stride towards the completion of its 2030 Roadmap. The
partnership with ACEN Renewable Energy Solutions (an Ayala Group subsidiary)
carries a new and shared milestone for APC and the Ajinomoto Group, with Ajinomoto
Philippines Flavor Food Inc. or APF Bulacan Factory running on 100% renewable
energy since December of 2023. To celebrate this success, a commemorative MOA
signing was held last March 1, 2024, at The Melting Pot, 35th Floor,
ACEN, Ayala Triangle Gardens Tower 2 Paseo de Roxas cor., Makati Avenue, Makati
City.
The MOA
signing was attended by APC President Mr. Koichi Ozaki, APC Vice President Mr.
Makoto Tanabe, APF Bulacan Factory Director Mr. Juanito Ramos, and APC Chief
Sustainability Officer Mr. Ernie Carlos. Joining the momentous ceremony from
ACEN Corporation were its Chief Operating Officer Mr. Miguel de Jesus, Senior Vice President for Market Transformation, Mr. Tony
Valdez, and Assistant Vice President for Commercial Operations Ms. Sheila
Mina.
The journey
for the APF Bulacan factory to run on 100% renewable energy began in 2022, with
the installation of a 1MW-peak capacity Solar Rooftop in the manufacturing
facility, reducing approximately 18% of its annual carbon footprint from
electricity consumption. In mid 2023, APC continued to seek
more avenues to mitigate its environmental footprint with ACEN RES coming into
the picture, with the reputation of being one of the premier suppliers of
Renewable energy in the country. Now, with this new partnership, APF Bulacan
has been using only renewable energy to power its operations, a major feat for
APC and the Ajinomoto Group.
“We will relentlessly foster
partnerships with organizations that share the same advocacy and goal, because
we believe that by combining our efforts, we are closer to co-creating a
greener and more sustainable Philippine society.” Says APC President Mr. Koichi Ozaki.
As of
today, the path to completing the APC 2030 Roadmap provides a positive outlook
leading up to the target year. The use of 100% renewable energy in its Bulacan
facility is among the multiple efforts of APC in environmental sustainability
that implies the possibility of achieving more in terms of environment-centric
works and initiatives.
