In a powerful demonstration of environmental responsibility, Pepsi-Cola Products Philippines, Inc. (PCPPI), the exclusive manufacturer of PepsiCo beverages in the country, joined the global community in celebrating Earth Hour 2025. The initiative underscored the companys long-standing commitment to sustainability and environmental stewardship.
In March, PCPPIs Braveheartsdedicated employees from its plants nationwideparticipated in Earth Hour by switching off non-essential lights from 8:30 PM to 9:30 PM. This symbolic act of solidarity with the planet resulted in a total energy savings of 117.11 kilowatt-hours (kWh) across its facilitiesroughly equivalent to powering an average Filipino household for over a week.
Earth Hour is more than just turning off lights. Its about making a meaningful impact through collective action, said Atty. Carina Bayon, PCPPIs Chief Environmental, Social, and Governance (ESG) Officer. Were proud of our Bravehearts who took part in this effort, and we are even more motivated to build on these small but significant steps.
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).
This initiative is one of many under PCPPIs growing sustainability agenda, which aligns with global environmental goals and the companys broader mission to care for the planet.
