MPTC recognizes that embarking on a sustainability journey ensures that we stay relevant to our stakeholders and become resilient against emerging and slow-onset risks.
Before we began our sustainability journey, our Company has been doing its part in reducing our impact to society and environment, including tree planting and mangrove reforestation/propagation activities, coastal and river cleanups, and power source transition to cleaner alternative energy. Since 2016, we have been reporting our sustainability-related data to our parent company, Metro Pacific Investments Corporation (MPIC) for their annual sustainability reporting requirements. However, in 2020, MPTC's senior management decided to deliberately focus on improving our sustainability performance and integrate it to the business operations by identifying our strategic priorities.
Our Company has since geared efforts in integrating the sustainability mindset to our executives from the top management and cascading the same up to our rank-and-file employees. Executive management sessions were conducted to garner leadership buy-in, and deep dive sessions were done to align the performance management and operations of the business units' departments to the sustainability direction of our Company. MPTC's current focus is creating awareness of our Company's sustainability roadmap and securing commitment from all employees to contribute to achieving our targets and adopting more sustainable practices.
In MPTC, we believe that true sustainability transformation happens when our leaders take charge.
We implemented the integration of ESG onto board priorities with our Nomination, Governance, and Risk Committee, along with comprehensive risk management and strategy development processes to ensure business continuity and effective decision-making. Along with the Governance, and Risk Committee, Sustainability Council or "Sustainability Champions" formed in each Business Units.
