Driving to a sustainable future with Fast and Ajinomoto

Ajinomoto is strengthening its commitment to sustainability by integrating electric vehicles (EVs) into its logistics operations through a partnership with Fast Logistics Corporation. As a leading end-to-end supply chain provider in the Philippines, Fast Logistics supports Ajinomoto’s Environmental, Social, and Governance (ESG) initiatives by promoting eco-friendly transportation and reducing carbon emissions.

With over 50 years of industry expertise, Fast Logistics has made sustainability a core part of its operations. Its ESG strategy focuses on transitioning to a low-carbon economy through innovative logistics solutions, including EV adoption.

The company operates an extensive network across seafreight, airfreight, inland trucking, RoRo transport, warehousing, and cold chain solutions, positioning itself as a key driver of sustainable supply chain practices in the Philippines.

Manuel L. Onrejas, Jr., Chief Operating Officer of Fast Logistics, emphasized the significance of this partnership, stating that the company is deeply invested in sustainability and strengthening relationships with clients while contributing to positive social development.

He added that the collaboration with Ajinomoto encourages businesses to optimize delivery windows, implement night deliveries to ease traffic congestion, and transition to electric vehicles to reduce carbon emissions. Fast Logistics’ self-sustaining charging stations help conserve energy in the community grid, and its exclusive truck availability for clients addresses trucking shortages.

Onrejas also underscored the company’s responsibility in advancing ESG goals. He stated that sustainability is not just about business but about the future of the planet. By transforming supply chain operations alongside clients and suppliers, Fast Logistics actively supports shared decarbonization goals and fosters sustainable practices.

Through this collaboration, Ajinomoto and Fast Logistics are setting a benchmark for businesses looking to integrate sustainability into their supply chains. Their shared commitment to innovation is paving the way for greener, more efficient, and socially responsible logistics that benefit businesses, communities, and the environment.
