PCPPI reaffirms commitment to sustainability: Joins Earth Hour, lights out for a brighter future

“Earth Hour is more than just turning off lights. It’s about making a meaningful impact through collective action. 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. These efforts reaffirm the company’s belief that business success and environmental responsibility go hand-in-hand.” ~Atty. Carina Bayon, PCPPI’s Chief Environmental, Social, and Governance (ESG) Officer

PCPPI’s Bravehearts from San Fernando, Pampanga gather outside their respective plants to celebrate Earth Hour by switching off non-essential lights from 8:30 to 9:30 PM. Their participation reflects PCPPI’s continued commitment to sustainability and environmental stewardship.

Pepsi-Cola Products Philippines, Inc. (PCPPI), the nation's sole producer of PepsiCo products, joined the international community in commemorating Earth Hour 2025 as a potent gesture of environmental responsibility.  The program demonstrated the business's enduring dedication to environmental stewardship and sustainability.

Devoted workers from PCPPI's plants around the country, known as Bravehearts, took part in Earth Hour in March by turning off non-essential lights between 8:30 and 9:30 p.m.  An average Filipino household could have been powered for more than a week thanks to the 117.11 kWh of energy savings that came from this symbolic act of solidarity with the environment across all of its facilities.

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). 

The company's larger aim to care for the world and global environmental goals are in line with PCPPI's expanding sustainability agenda, of which this effort is one of several.  Throughout its operations, PCPPI has continuously implemented initiatives centered on energy efficiency, solid waste management, and water stewardship.

Looking ahead, PCPPI is planning to introduce even more eco-friendly measures throughout 2025.
