METRO Pacific Investments Corp. (MPIC) said it is intensifying its focus on sustainability initiatives.
The company has adopted environmental, social, and corporate governance (EESG) metrics as essential performance indicators, integrating sustainable practices extensively into its corporate strategy, said June Cheryl “Chaye” Cabal-Revilla, executive vice-president and chief finance risk and sustainability officer of MPIC and president and CEO of mWell, during the CommChat Series 2024 webinar on “Sustainability: A Journey from Divergent Paths.”
She also highlighted efforts in environmental stewardship and their impact on enhancing community life. “When we uplift ourselves, it’s our duty to uplift everyone around us. A happy community fosters safety for all. For us, sustainability is not just a policy; it is a cornerstone of our existence,” she said.
