Continuous efforts
"By joining this global movement, we reaffirm our dedication to protecting the environment and ensuring cleaner coastlines for future generations. This is an extension of our continuous efforts to positively impact the communities where we operate and support the health of marine ecosystems," said Phoenix senior vice president Atty. Raymond Zorrilla.
Key Phoenix facilities involved in the cleanup included depots in Batangas, Bacolod, Cebu, Aklan, Davao, General Santos, Villanueva and Zamboanga, as well as LPG plants in Iligan and Cebu.
