Mober, the country's frontrunner in green logistics services, was named one of the most promising and sustainable startups in the Philippines at the first-ever KMC Startup Awards during the Philippine Startup Week.

Mober's award, which was conferred last 24 November 2023, recognizes and celebrates businesses that have demonstrated an outstanding commitment to sustainable and responsible business practices.

Mober bagged the silver award in the Sustainable Business Practice category out of more than 200 companies.

The award was bestowed to Mober for its commitment to making the logistics industry in the Philippines greener and more sustainable through the use of electric vehicles.

The gold winner in the category was Cubo Modular while the bronze winner was Bambuhay.

"We at Mober are immensely thankful to KMC Solutions and all its partners for recognizing our dedication towards sustainable delivery service in the country. The award not only celebrates our journey towards sustainability but also reinforces our resolve to innovate and lead in creating a more environmentally responsible Philippines. Our efforts in reducing carbon emissions and promoting green logistics have only just begun, and this accolade inspires us to set new benchmarks in our industry," Mober Founder and CEO Dennis Ng said.

Since it transitioned to electric vehicles in 2021, Mober has been providing green delivery solutions to retail giants such as IKEA Philippines, SM Appliance Center, Unilever Philippines, Nestle Philippines, and Nespresso, as well as renowned logistics companies Maersk and Kuehne+Nagel.

This year, Mober made significant strides toward its commitment to green logistics after it unveiled its flagship EV charging hub in Pasay City and expanded its EV fleet to 60, further cementing its unwavering dedication to an eco-friendly future.

The company aims to become the leading green logistics delivery provider in Southeast Asia by securing a mixed fleet of 100 electric vans and trucks by the first half of 2024.

The KMC Startup Awards provides a platform to inspire innovation and recognize outstanding startups and visionary entrepreneurs reshaping the business and technology landscapes in the Philippines.                    R. A.
