Ajinomoto Philippines Corporation (APC) leads the way towards sustainable manufacturing in the Philippines as it unveiled the 100 percent Renewable Energy Badge for its APF Cebu Factory.

“Looking ahead, we aspire to further strengthen this mutually beneficial partnership with ACEN. Together, we have demonstrated that sustainability is not just an aspiration — it is a tangible reality. And together, I am confident that we will continue to make meaningful strides in reducing carbon emissions and fostering a healthier planet for future generations,” Koichi Ozaki, President of Ajinomoto Philippines Corporation, said.

APC is targeting to reduce its carbon footprint and emissions annually, and with APF Cebu’s switch to renewable energy, this makes us all closer to a greener tomorrow.

The successful transition of both APC’s factories in the Philippines transcends through more than milestones, but also bold statements that make sustainability a reality.
