SM Investments Corporation's logistics and solutions company, 2GO, has launched its sustainability program to reduce carbon emissions, promote equal opportunities and support local economies in the regions where 2GO conducts its business.
The "2GO Earth and Everyone" program started with a nationwide tree-planting activity in seven cities: Manila, Bacolod, Iloilo, Cebu, Cagayan de Oro, Davao and General Santos.
"We want to preserve Tatang Henry Sy's principle that business growth should go hand in hand with social development. 2GO has been steadfast in integrating sustainability in its business operations to benefit our communities," said Frederic C. DyBuncio, president and chief executive officer of 2GO Group Inc. and concurrently president and chief executive officer of SM Investments.
The program is guided by core sustainability principles: eco, efficient, embrace, empower and engage. These five pillars align with the United Nations Sustainable Development Goals.
Eco. 2GO is dedicated to reducing its environmental impact by implementing energy-saving measures like motion sensor lighting (yielding a 30-40 percent reduction in electric consumption) to operating multi-temp reefer vans, which can save up to 231.23 metric tons of carbon emissions. 2GO aims to enhance efficiency by optimizing shipments with diverse requirements, saving valuable time and resources.
Efficient. 2GO prioritizes the qualification of delivery drivers through a rigorous training program that promotes eco and defensive driving techniques. The company requires its drivers to attain a 95-percent passing score before deployment, ensuring their accountability in upholding road safety and responsibility. Additionally, 2GO's embedded security initiative includes a Cargo Loss Prevention Seminar. It also implements route optimization strategies.
Embrace. 2GO ensures that individuals from all walks of life are encouraged to thrive within the organization, with a workforce comprising more than 40-percent women.
Empower. 2GO partnered with 1,754 micro, small and medium enterprises nationwide in 2022. The company supports enterprises in moving goods and accessing new markets. After super typhoon "Odette" in 2021, the company transported 500 tons of relief goods and contributed to power restoration efforts in affected cities.
Engage. 2GO values volunteerism by involving employees in tree-planting activities, coastal clean-ups and socially responsible efforts, helping foster a sense of shared responsibility among the team members.
