In a powerful demonstration of environmental responsibility, Pepsi-Cola Products Philippines, Inc. (PCPPI), the exclusive manufacturer of PepsiCo beverages in the country, joined the global community in celebrating Earth Hour 2025. The initiative underscored the company’s long-standing commitment to sustainability and environmental stewardship.
In March, PCPPI’s Bravehearts—dedicated employees from its plants nationwide—participated in Earth Hour by switching off non-essential lights from 8:30 PM to 9:30 PM. This symbolic act of solidarity with the planet resulted in a total energy savings of 117.11 kilowatt-hours (kWh) across its facilities—roughly equivalent to powering an average Filipino household for over a week.
“Earth Hour is more than just turning off lights. It’s about making a meaningful impact through collective action,” said Atty. Carina Bayon, PCPPI’s Chief Environmental, Social, and Governance (ESG) Officer. “We’re proud of our Bravehearts who took part in this effort, and we are even more motivated to build on these small but significant steps.”
Capturing the active participation in this global movement is the breakdown of energy savings achieved by various PCPPI plants: Sto. Tomas (22.81 kWh), Naga (2.98 kWh), San Fernando (9.32 kWh), Rosario (22.98 kWh), Cebu (9.98 kWh), Bacolod (4.00 kWh), Iloilo (19.27 kWh), Tanauan (8.48 kWh), Davao (8.15 kWh), Cagayan de Oro (6.70 kWh), and Zamboanga (2.44 kWh).
This initiative is one of many under PCPPI’s growing sustainability agenda, which aligns with global environmental goals and the company’s broader mission to care for the planet. PCPPI has consistently rolled out programs focused on water stewardship, solid waste management, and energy efficiency across its operations.
Looking ahead, PCPPI is planning to introduce even more eco-friendly measures throughout 2025. “These efforts reaffirm the company’s belief that business success and environmental responsibility go hand-in-hand,” Atty. Bayon added.
