Sustainability-driven innovation not only impacts a company’s bottom line, it also ultimately enhances the experience and well-being of its customers. Recognizing the group’s efforts to deliver more reliable, resilient, and environmentally responsible services to its customers, PLDT and Smart Communications were recently honored with the Success Story Award by the Pollution Control Association of the Philippines, Inc. (PCAPI).
At PCAPI’s 45th National Annual Convention and General Assembly recently held in Cagayan de Oro, Misamis Oriental in coordination with the Environmental Management Bureau (EMB) of the Department of Environment and Natural Resources (DENR), representatives from the Property and Facilities Management (PFM) office of PLDT and Smart received the award.
“We are grateful for this Success Story Award from PCAPI, as it recognizes not only our renewable energy projects but also the rest of our collaborative efforts. Our investments in renewable energy initiatives and resource-efficient operations translate into greater service continuity, reduced environmental impact, and a stronger commitment to safeguarding the communities that we serve. It also highlights how environmental excellence is inseparable from customer care,” according to Engr. Kristine Gonzalez-Catague, Head of Corporate Environment, Health, and Safety Center at PLDT and Smart.
Themed “Moving Beyond Compliance: Reinforcing Our Role in Keeping the Balance in Nature,” the PCAPI convention gathered environmental professionals and advocates from across the country to celebrate achievements and share best practices in environmental protection and sustainability.
This recognition reinforces PLDT and Smart’s commitment to sustainability and environmental stewardship, aligning with their broader mission to build a more resilient and eco-conscious future for the Filipino people. It also supports PLDT and Smart’s commitment to the United Nations Sustainable Development Goals (SDG), particularly SDG 7 (Affordable and Clean Energy), SDG 11: Sustainable Cities and Communities, and SDG 12: Responsible Consumption and Production.
