Tomas, Batangas (right) gather outside their respective plants to celebrate Earth Hour by switching off non-essential lights from 8:30 to 9:30 PM. Their participation reflects PCPPI’s continued commitment to sustainability and environmental stewardship.
In a strong show of environmental commitment, Pepsi-Cola Products Philippines, Inc. (PCPPI), the exclusive bottler of PepsiCo beverages in the country, joined the global Earth Hour 2025 celebration. This initiative highlighted the company’s enduring dedication to sustainability and environmental care.
In March, PCPPI’s Bravehearts—passionate employees from its various plants across the country—took part by turning off non-essential lights from 8:30 PM to 9:30 PM. This symbolic gesture of unity with the planet led to an energy savings of 117.11 kilowatt-hours (kWh) across its facilities—enough to power an average Filipino household for more than a week.
“Earth Hour is more than just turning off lights. It’s about making a meaningful impact through collective action,” said Atty. Carina Bayon, PCPPI’s Chief Environmental, Social, and Governance (ESG) Officer. “We’re proud of our Bravehearts who took part in this effort, and we are even more motivated to build on these small but significant steps.”
Capturing the active participation in this global movement is the breakdown of energy savings achieved by various PCPPI plants: Sto. Tomas (22.81 kWh), Naga (2.98 kWh), San Fernando (9.32 kWh), Rosario (22.98 kWh), Cebu (9.98 kWh), Bacolod (4.00 kWh), Iloilo (19.27 kWh), Tanauan (8.48 kWh), Davao (8.15 kWh), Cagayan de Oro (6.70 kWh), and Zamboanga (2.44 kWh).
This initiative is one of many under PCPPI’s growing sustainability agenda, which aligns with global environmental goals and the company’s broader mission to care for the planet. PCPPI has consistently rolled out programs focused on water stewardship, solid waste management, and energy efficiency across its operations.
Looking ahead, PCPPI is planning to introduce even more eco-friendly measures throughout 2025. “These efforts reaffirm the company’s belief that business success and environmental responsibility go hand-in-hand,” Atty. Bayon added.
PCPPI serves as the sole manufacturer of PepsiCo beverages in the Philippines, producing well-known brands such as Pepsi, Mountain Dew, 7Up, Mirinda, Mug, Gatorade, Sting, Tropicana, Lipton Iced Tea, Milkis, Chum Churum, Saero, and Premier.
