Food manufacturer Universal Robina Corp. said Thursday it will use renewable energy to power at least 20 facilities in Luzon and the Visayas. Read more👇

URC said in a statement it signed an agreement with MPower/Vantage, Bacman and First Gen to supply at least 18 of its facilities in Luzon and two in the Visayas with geothermal, solar and hydro energy.

Net zero means balancing the amount of greenhouse gases the company emits with the amount it removes. This commitment will support the country’s pledge to Paris Agreement on Climate Change which aims to reduce Philippines’ greenhouse gas emission to 75 percent by 2030. URC, one of the largest branded consumer food and beverage product companies in the Philippines, began installing solar panels that generate close to 2 megawatts at its manufacturing facilities in Canlubang, Laguna and San Fernando, Pampanga.

URC also expanded its sustainability thrust overseas. Its Thailand subsidiary installed solar panels on six factories and four warehouses at its compound in Samut Sakhon province, southwest of Bangkok. The solar panels can generate 6 megawatts of power.
