Sustainability at AboitizPower

In support of the triple bottom line, the Aboitiz Group, which includes AboitizPower, identified focus areas where it could make the biggest difference with the intent of establishing measurable objectives, defining and setting achievable targets, and tracking them year on year.

The Group promotes inclusive growth by enriching people’s lives, especially in communities where its businesses operate, as part of its mission of creating long-term value for all its stakeholders. Balancing growth with a strong social component and healthy environmental practices are key elements to building a sustainable business in the Philippines that will last for generations. 

  • People

    People are our most important priority. Aboitiz has made it a point to implement fair and beneficial business practices in the Philippines that are in line with the UN Sustainable Development Goals. These practices are directed to the organization’s team members, customers, communities, and society. 

  • Planet

    The Aboitiz Group remains consistent with its campaign toward A Better World through its environmental programs and initiatives. We observe year-round compliance with mandatory requirements. This ensures that the company, with its full operations, does not negatively impact the environment and promotes sustainability in the energy sector. 

  • Profit

    The Aboitiz Group adheres to fair business practices that align both majority and minority interests in growing profitably. This has guided the company for generations and propelled it to become one of the best-managed companies in the region, enjoying a high level of trust and confidence from its stakeholders. 

Our strategic directions are geared towards ensuring that sustainability remains at the core of AboitizPower. We are committed to sustainable business operations, guided by our strong environmental, social, and governance standards and practices. Over the next decade, we are set to conquer bolder targets to better serve our customers and communities. We are looking to increase our generation portfolio to 9,200 MW by 2030, of which 50% or 4,600 MW will be sourced from more environmentally sustainable energy sources.

Today, AboitizPower together with our partners is the Philippines’ largest owner and operator of renewable energy based on installed capacity. The exponential growth of our Cleanergy portfolio in the next 10 years will reinforce our contribution to the country’s renewable energy aspirations, as well as to global sustainability goals.
