Powering the Good Life

Our mission is to ensure that electricity continually flows from our grid to our customers—to light up homes and offices, to power industries, and to energize our economy—today and for generations to come. We have therefore placed sustainability at the heart of Meralco, allowing us to better empower our people, protect our environment, and foster growth for a prosperous nation.

Gender Diversity

We promote a gender-balanced and inclusive workplace. Today, we have more than 2x more women in our organization versus the global average in the energy sector.

Meralco Electrification Program
Meralco Electrification Program (MEP)

Under the Meralco Electrification Program (MEP), we achieved 100% electrification of 536 priority sites, energizing a total of 3,742 households in 2021. The MEP is also supported by One Meralco Foundation’s Household Electrification Program, through which we paved the way for the electrification of 7,509 low-income households that had been in the dark for many years.

Solar Rooftops and Microgrid Solutions
Solar Rooftops and Microgrid Solutions

Spectrum has energized thousands of private, educational, and government institutions, totaling 14 MWp in capacity in 2021. This includes the 1.2-MW solar PV energy system (3,120 solar panels) on the rooftop of City of Dreams that will reduce carbon emissions by over 1,000 tonnes of CO2e annually.

We also continue to find ways to power isolated communities in dire need of energy access. The first beneficiaries of our microgrid solutions were 29 households in Isla Verde, with a 32-kWp solar PV and 192-kWh battery energy storage system (BESS), and 140 households in Cagbalete Island, with a 60-kWp solar PV and 150-kWh BESS. We are now working toward building larger-scale microgrids, with the goal of lighting up the remaining communities on both islands.

Solar Rooftops and Microgrid Solutions
Transition to Clean Energy

We fully support the Department of Energy’s Renewable Portfolio Standards and have thus committed to securing 1,500 MW of our power requirements through 2025 from renewable energy sources. We are likewise accelerating our renewable energy build-out plan of up to 1,500 MW of clean energy capacity through 2027. MGreen’s maiden project, BulacanSol, a 55-MW solar farm, began operations in May 2021. In addition, Global Business Power’s (GBP) first solar power plant with 115-MW peak capacity in Rizal will go online in 2022.

Ester Oil Transformers
Ester Oil Transformers

We now use natural plant-based ester oil (instead of mineral oil) in our distribution transformers (DTs). To date, 100% of our pad-mounted DTs already use ester oil. Moving forward, 100% of our new DTs (including pole-mounted) will use this earth-friendly material, making our DTs 99% biodegradable and recyclable.

One for Trees
One for Trees

Through One for Trees, our carbon sink program launched in 2019, we live out our commitment to environmental sustainability and preservation of Philippine biodiversity. By planting and nurturing 5 million trees by 2025, we seek to revive and rehabilitate damaged and threatened forests and watersheds, while providing a sustainable stream of income to communities through agroforestry. As of July 2022, we have already planted 1,621,410 trees.

Planet Green
Green Mobility

Through our Green Mobility Program, we are now equipped with a total of 128 electric vehicles (EVs)—comprising of cars, motorcycles, pick-up trucks, and vans—which primarily cater to the service delivery needs of our personnel and boast a 100% electric Metro Manila service vehicle fleet. In 2022, we will roll out 49 more EVs to bring us closer to our target of 25% fleet electrifcation by 2030.

Zero Waste
Race to Zero Waste (RZW)

Through our Race to Zero Waste (RZW) Program, we aim to minimize our waste and divert them waste away from landfills. Our Ban on Single-Use Plastics (SUPs) covers all our offices and facilities (including those of our subsidiaries) and our partners in the supply chain. Since 2019, we have collectively avoided over 300,000 kg of SUPs, equivalent to 30M plastic bottles. We also implemented #HealthWithoutHarm to ensure the safe and responsible disposal of Covid-19 waste through the provision of yellow bins across all our facilities and the safe transport of waste to treatment centers.

Mbrace Gender Diversity and Inclusion Program
#Mbrace Gender Diversity and Inclusion Program

We promote a gender-balanced and inclusive workplace with roughly 26% of our workforce comprised of women, more than twice higher than the global energy sector average of 11%. In 2020, we became among the first Filipino companies—and the only one from the energy sector—to sign the United Nations’ Women’s Empowerment Principles (WEPs). Our Gender Diversity and Inclusion (D&I) Program called #Mbrace aims to embed the WEPs in our strategy and operations.

Monitoring
CODE Light Bot and Air Quality Monitoring

CODE (Care Operations for Disasters and Emergencies) Light Bot is a chatbot that provides a bird’s eye view of our employees’ daily health and work status. It also gives us access to important air quality data such as indoor and outdoor temperatures, humidity, and particulate matter, gathered through air quality sensors across our office headquarters.

Wellness
Orange Fit Program: Physical, Emotional, Spiritual, and Mental Wellness

Our Orange Fit Program ensures the overall wellness of our workforce. To enhance physical fitness, we encourage our employees to use our gyms and sports facilities and partake in employee sports, hobby and interest clubs, and group exercise classes. To nurture their emotional, spiritual, and mental well-being, we offer meditation guides and prayers, share guidelines on work productivity (Mindful Meetings) and personal space (ME Time), and provide access to in-house counsellors and medical experts.

Bright Ideas and Orange Tag
Bright Ideas and Orange Tag

Our Bright Ideas and Orange Tag programs empower our customers by helping them make informed choices in managing their own energy consumption. Bright Ideas is a customer information drive that provides knowledge and tips on saving energy. Orange Tag is a label that shows the estimated cost per use of appliances.

Virtual Customer Assistant
Bill Revamp

In September 2021, we redesigned our electricity bill, which now includes easier-to-read details on historical consumption, total amount to be paid, and due date. In addition, the bill now features the 10-digit Customer Account Number, which was introduced in 2020 to make payment transactions simpler and more convenient. The revamped bill also promotes environmental awareness by showing the equivalent carbon emissions of a customer's monthly electricity use.

School Electrification Program
School Electrification Program

One of the ways we uplift communities is through One Meralco’s Foundation’s School Electrification Program. Since 2011, we have brought sparks of joy to more than 280 public schools throughout the Philippines through solar energy. We have also empowered over 86,000 students and 2,700 teachers with digital learning and teaching tools.

Meralco Supplier Sustainability Scorecard

MS3 assesses vendors on key sustainability criteria and disclosures aligned with the UN SDGs and patterned after the GRI Standards as part of their continuing accreditation with Meralco.

Our sustainability agenda
