Ambition 2030: P&G's commitment to sustainable and responsible manufacturing



Procter and Gamble's Ambisyon 2030 declaration, which commits to reducing waste throughout the manufacturing and end-user lifecycle. P&G promises to incorporate environmental sustainability into its operations by developing superior, sustainable product innovations.

Better products generate less waste. One company that makes it easy for consumers to make responsible choices is Procter & Gamble (P&G) Philippines, maker of trusted household brands like Safeguard, Tide, Downy, and Pampers, which integrate environmental sustainability into its operations by developing product innovations that are superior and sustainable. The Company takes its environmental stewardship to the next level with its Ambition 2030 declaration which presents its commitment to Climate, Waste, Water, and Nature.

P&G's Ambition 2030 goals include achieving 100% recyclable or reusable consumer packaging by 2030, with the goal of reducing waste generated throughout the manufacturing and end-user lifecycles. By 2030, P&G also targets to reduce greenhouse gas emissions by 50% across its operational sites. The company also actively promotes natural climate solutions that protect and restore natural ecosystems and biodiverse areas.


Manufacturing efforts addressing waste, climate, and water

In the Philippines, the P&G Cabuyao Manufacturing Plant is a Zero Manufacturing Waste to Landfill certified facility. This cutting-edge facility manufactures a wide range of P&G products, including diapers, laundry detergents, sanitary pads, and more, for both domestic and international markets.

The P&G Cabuyao plant demonstrates its commitment to sustainability by recycling a significant amount of plastic waste each year. Furthermore, it has taken proactive steps to reduce greenhouse gas emissions by 80% by purchasing only renewable energy. P&G has also taken steps to optimize power consumption at the plant, resulting in significant carbon savings.


Inspiring responsible consumption

P&G brands have implemented a variety of sustainable initiatives to encourage responsible consumption. Herbal Essences' bio:renew shampoo bottles contain 25% post-consumer resin (recycled plastic). Safeguard replaced the plastic overwrap on its soap multipacks with recycled paper cartons, reducing potential plastic waste equivalent to 1,000 times the length of Boracay's shoreline. Olay's "Ship-In-Own-Container" program introduced molded packaging for online purchases, eliminating the need for extra packaging materials like bubble wrap and fillers.

P&G serves as an inspiration to consumers and businesses alike, encouraging them to prioritize the development of superior products that conserve water, reduce energy consumption, and minimize waste. P&G's Ambition 2030 goals support the company's and its brands' ability to provide irresistible superiority that is sustainable, thereby improving lives now and for future generations. Find out more about P&G’s Ambition 2030 here.

Shaping the Future of Food and Health: Ajinomoto Global President and CEO Taro Fujie visits Manila, Philippines

“2030 is closer than we all think it is, but it is my great honor to share with you, that we, in the whole of Ajinomoto Group, will remain as enthusiastic as we are now, to achieve what needs to be achieved for the betterment of our society, and all of us in this world, and that we share every milestone with you, as our companions in this journey. It is my pleasure, and a great honor, to meet you all today, Ajinomoto Philippines Corporation. I am indeed certain that you will continue to cultivate an environment where employees remain diverse, highly motivated, and engaged, as you are our essential and greatest intangible assets.~Mr. Taro Fujie, Ajinomoto Co., Inc. President and CEO
(L-R) Hironori Aoki, Director for Sales, Marketing and Public Relations of Ajinomoto Philippines Corporation (APC), Taro Fujie, President and CEO of Ajinomoto Co., Inc., Koichi Ozaki, President of APC and Ernie Carlos, Chief Sustainability Officer of APC.


Ajinomoto Co., Inc., along with the rest of the Ajinomoto Group, continues to work toward a healthier and more sustainable future, with concrete plans in place through 2030 to promote environmental health and human wellness. The global company aims to address critical food and health issues while increasing customer value and promoting a healthy lifestyle, resulting in a one billion-person global life expectancy increase. 

The leadership by example of Ajinomoto's President and CEO, Mr. Taro Fujie, who visited the Philippines and held a media forum in Quezon City, demonstrates the company's commitment to a healthier future for all. During the discussion, Mr. Taro provided an overview of the Ajinomoto Group's medium-term ASV management and 2030 Strategic Roadmap.

During his speech, Mr. Taro Fujie reiterated Ajinomoto's core purpose, which is to use "AminoScience" to benefit all humans, our society, and our planet. Ajinomoto's goal is to reduce our environmental impact by 50%, regenerate our environment, and help one billion people live longer lives through better health and life. True to Ajinomoto's corporate slogan, Eat Well, Live Well, Mr. Taro Fujie explains that the company has been relentless in living up to its ways, such as creating new value, championing the pioneer spirit, and engaging in social contribution, all of which ultimately value people, not just customers. All of these efforts date back to the company's inception, when Ajinomoto promoted management that co-creates social and economic value through its business, a concept known as ASV, or the Ajinomoto Group Creating Shared Value.

Mr. Taro Fujie has also set the Ajinomoto Group's expectations for Ajinomoto Philippines Corporation (APC), which he believes APC will meet to the best of its abilities. APC is expected to continue contributing to the resolution of social issues for the well-being of Filipinos, society, and the planet through initiatives led by the ASV, while also diversifying its business, moving from seasonings to frozen foods, supplements, and more in the future. 

Earlier during the day, Mr. Taro Fujie and Quezon City Mayor Joy Belmonte engaged in an exchange where outlooks focused on sustainability and community development through co-creating a greener tomorrow, through the Saricycle Program of APC. Mr. Taro Fujie was also able to engage in a first-hand experience as he visited one of the participating sari-sari stores in Feria Road Old Balara, Quezon City. 

Innovative strategies and collaborations pave the way for a more sustainable future. Ajinomoto Philippines Corporation recently collaborated with various stakeholders, including the Local Government of Quezon City and Basic Environmental Systems and Technologies (BEST), to launch the SariCycle Program. The program is APC Group's flagship plastic collection drive, focusing on sari-sari stores and market stalls. It incentivizes them to collect Single Use Plastics (SUPs) or Flexible Plastics from their customers, which the store owner can exchange for Environmental Points (EPs), which are equivalent to cash for participating merchants. APC also collaborated with ACEN Res to run its Bulacan factory on 100% renewable energy, with the goal of reducing its environmental impact.

Mang Inasal's Marilao Commissioner has achieved Zero-Waste to Landfill Status

“We prioritize recovering, reusing, and recycling waste that contribute to the creation of a more sustainable food system, ensuring that we can continue to nourish and sustain our communities and our planet for future generations." ~Jose Miñana Jr., Chief Sustainability and Public Affairs Officer at the Jollibee Group, underscored the company’s proactive approach to integrating sustainable waste management practices into operations
Waste Reduction is one of the focus areas of the Jollibee Group’s global sustainability agenda whose goals include reducing food loss and waste to landfill in the manufacturing process.


In line with its efforts to improve its sustainability practices, the Jollibee Group celebrates a significant milestone in one of its brands: the strengthened implementation of its Corporate Supply Chain Sustainability Program, which covers 11 company-owned commissaries and one logistics facility across the country. 

The comprehensive program aims to achieve significant energy and water efficiency, as well as waste reduction goals and initiatives, in accordance with the Jollibee Group's Joy For Tomorrow sustainability strategy.


While all Jollibee Group-owned and brand commissaries are already engaged in their own waste reduction efforts, Mang Inasal Marilao commissary is the first site to reach a 100% Zero Waste to Landfill status in 2023. Their concerted waste reduction efforts include co-processing residual waste (as seen in the photo) as alternative fuel for cement production.


Taking the waste reduction effort further is Mang Inasal’s (MI) Marilao Commissary which achieved Zero Waste to Landfill Status in 2023. To achieve this, the MI Marilao Commissary efforts included repurposing and recycling scrap waste, converting organic waste into compost, and co-processing residual waste as alternative fuel for cement production.

During the 2020 baseline year, MI Marilao Commissary has sustainably disposed of 53% of its total waste. With the leaders and the team’s dedication and teamwork, the site has gradually increased its sustainable disposal to 85% in 2021, 91% in 2022, and 97% at the start of 2023 before reaching 100% status by June of 2023.

Sustainability achievements 

Waste Reduction is one of the focus areas of the Jollibee Group’s global sustainability agenda whose goals include reducing food loss and waste to landfill in the manufacturing process. These goals were set to contribute to the United Nations’ Sustainable Development Goals (UN SDGs), particularly “Responsible Consumption and Production” (Goal #12).  

“The results achieved by Mang Inasal’s Marilao Commissary will be our benchmark for waste reduction implementation across all Jollibee Group manufacturing sites in the country, consistent with our commitment to maximize use of resources and reduce our impact on the environment.” ~Michael Ong, Vice President and Head of Supply Chain at Jollibee Group

With its continued commitment to sustainable business practices, the Jollibee Group manufacturing sites across the country achieved a cumulative 42.8% reduction in waste-generated ratio last year compared to the company’s 2020 baseline. By the end of 2023, over 51% of its waste was disposed through sustainable means, a significant increase from 39.7% in 2021.

Meet the Agonsulits: The Squad That Eats Together, Stacks Savings Together with McDelivery

"We believe in being smart with our resources, which means finding quality options that are also affordable. Wais kaming mag-asawa pagdating sa pamilya. Gusto namin mataas na kalidad at murang-mura para sulit. Kaya nga Agonsulit di, ba? (We're wise when it comes to family spending. We want high quality for low cost because that’s what makes it worthwhile. That’s why they call us Agonsulit, right?). Malaking ginhawa ang experience namin sa McDelivery. Sulit talaga! (The experience we have with McDelivery is truly comforting. It’s really worth it!). It’s not just about ordering food; it’s about the convenience, variety, and affordability that it brings to our family's table. Teaching our kids to budget through apps like McDelivery makes money management relatable and real. ~Judy Ann Santos-Agoncillo
Meet the Agonsulits: The Squad That Eats Together, Stacks Savings Together with McDelivery


Ryan and Judy Ann Agoncillo, along with their daughter Luna, turn every day into #SavingsGoals in their home, where the vibes are chill and the living is smart. The "Agonsulits" family demonstrates that being frugal does not have to be a drag. It's all about living large without breaking the bank, proving you can keep it 100 with low-cost moves that still deliver all the feels.

Imagine relaxing by a peaceful lake with just your family and nature. There are no expensive setups, only good old-fashioned quality time. That is the Agonsulit style. What about home hacks? Ryan's got it down. A recent viral post revealed that when little Luna had a wiggly tooth, Ryan did not rush to the dentist. No, he simply whipped out some dental floss and gently turned dentist, demonstrating that sometimes the best solutions are the simplest—and cheapest. 

Public transportation is more than just a mode of transportation; it is also a mobile classroom. According to Judy Ann, their eldest daughter Yohan learns about money and how the average Joe lives and travels on buses and jeepneys, rather than in a lecture hall. For the Agonsulits, this is more than just a practical matter; it is a way to stay grounded and connected to their roots.

Money is always discussed in the Agoncillo household. Ryan and Judy Ann keep things real with open discussions about cash flow, ensuring that everyone, from the eldest to the youngest, understands how money works and why saving is beneficial. It's about creating a future that is both secure and bright, and keeping everyone informed ensures that every decision benefits everyone.

When the munchies strike, McDelivery saves the day by delivering big flavors at a low cost. Judy Ann, with her chef's insight, puts it simply: "McDelivery isn't just quick food; it's smart eating. It's about getting our favorite meals without the guilt." The app is a staple on their phones, loaded with deals that make every meal exciting and affordable.




Level up your hangout game the Agonsulit way with the McDelivery App.
  • Movie night magic happens with the Chicken McNuggets Family Bundle (Php599), composed of 20 McNuggets, BFF fries, and three Coke Floats. It’s a blockbuster deal without the blockbuster prices. 
  • Whether you’re Team Big Mac or all about that Quarter Pounder life, the Burgers Family Bundle (Php699) covers all bases with burgers, fries, and Coke floats to please the crew.
  • Feeding the whole squad? The Chicken McShare Family Bundle (Php799) brings the feast with chicken, spaghetti, and Coke floats, making sure no one’s left hungry. 
These aren’t just meals, however, they’re meal savers, making sure the family eats like kings on a jester’s budget. 

In this fam, even the kids are in on the budgeting game. Using apps isn’t just for snaps and laughs; it’s for learning the ropes of digital pesos and cents. 

For those new to the McDelivery experience, there's an added bonus: first-time customers can receive a free six-piece Chicken McNuggets with a minimum order of PHP 500. And it gets better: all users receive free delivery with a minimum order of PHP 450, making it easier and more affordable to indulge in your favorite meals.
