Mitsubishi Motors Philippines Corporation (MMPC) celebrates another milestone with the Excellence in Ecology and Economy (E3) Award under the Environmental Stewardship – Large Enterprise category, highlighting its strong commitment to environmentally responsible manufacturing, energy efficiency, and community-driven sustainability initiatives.

“At MMPC, we champion sustainable growth guided by our care for the environment and the communities we serve. By embracing green manufacturing, we not only support the government’s drive toward carbon neutrality but also inspire confidence among customers who value sustainability and responsible business practices.

MMPC’s award-winning sustainability strategy integrates programs on energy efficiency, emission reduction, water and waste management, resource optimization, and social responsibility aimed at uplifting communities and promoting shared value. Their success is driven by team effort, powered by dedicated employees and strict adherence to all environmental standards.


Driven by its commitment to a cleaner future, MMPC now runs 100% on renewable energy. Twenty percent is generated from its 4.2MW Solar PV system, while the remaining share is procured solely from renewable sources—propelling the company closer to its carbon neutrality goals.

Other key initiatives include a 100-hectare reforestation project, achieving plastic packaging neutrality for all sold vehicles, and implementing smart innovations such as redesigning the oven to consume less fuel (LPG) and introducing a waste heat recovery system to significantly reduce consumption and eliminate boiler dependency.


MMPC’s efforts are in line with the calls of the Philippine government’s Climate Change Commission in February for public and private sectors in the country to work together and invest in renewable energy, climate-resilient infrastructure, and green technologies to help reduce emissions, drive economic growth, and generate more jobs.


This award further affirms the company’s position as one of the leaders in green manufacturing and sustainable growth. Through continuous innovation and sustainability efforts, MMPC is driven to shape a path where profitability and environmental responsibility thrive together.
