Mitsubishi PHL is first car maker to get ‘safety seal’ from DoLE
MITSUBISHI MOTORS Philippines Corp. (MMPC) became the first car manufacturer in the country to receive a so-called “Safety Seal” from the Department of Labor and Employment (DoLE). The certification confirms that “an establishment or institution strictly observes the minimum public health standards set by the government and/or has successfully integrated with StaySafe.ph, the country’s centralized contact tracing databank,” MMPC reported in a release. The company complies with both requirements.
MMPC President and CEO Takeshi Hara said, “Mitsubishi has always put a premium on safety, not just in the engineering of our cars but also in the way we conduct business. That is why MMPC, being the longest staying automotive company in the country, wants to do its part to be alongside Filipinos transitioning into the new normal.”
He added, “We make it a point to maintain only the highest standards when it comes to health and safety at the workplace. Through it we create a space with minimal hazards that enable positivity and productivity among our employees.”
The national Safety Seal program is envisioned to restore confidence as the economy slowly and safely reopens. This is supported by other sectoral offices like the Department of Health, Department of Interior and Local Government, Department of Tourism, and the Department of Trade and Industry.
The Safety Seal granted to MMPC covers its Sta. Rosa Plant and Parts Warehouse in the Greenfield Automotive Park-Special Economic Zone (GAP-SEZ) and will be valid for six months. All holders of the badge are required to file for renewal and undergo DoLE’s rigorous inspection process all over again after the aforementioned period.
“COVID-19 has taught us many important lessons, one in particular is the importance of emotional well-being. Through our newly issued DoLE certification, we want to offer peace of mind and assure our customers, partners and the general public that Mitsubishi Motors takes safety very seriously,” Mr. Hara added.
MMPC said that this is one of the components of the new local corporate slogan “Life Made Better.” The brand is adopting a more holistic approach to deliver value in every step of a Filipino’s vehicle ownership journey and fulfill its commitment to the betterment of the economy.
