Last year, the pandemic stole our Christmas as if the COVID-19 virus was the Grinch. But this year, due to people’s continued compliance with safety protocols, as well as the ongoing rollout of the nationwide vaccination program, quarantine restrictions have now been less stringent, especially since health authorities record a lower number of COVID-19 cases every day.
While everything is, in a way, now slowly going back to normal, with the holiday season just around the corner, welcoming Christmas guests is inevitable. And yes, it does not mean that we need to let our guards down since the sickness-causing virus still lurks around.
Procter & Gamble Philippines (P&G) was recently awarded a Silver LEED certification for its new Distribution Center Expansion project in the P&G Cabuyao manufacturing plant.
The Leadership in Energy and Environmental Design, or LEED, is the most widely used green building rating system in the world. It is acknowledged as a symbol of sustainability achievement and leadership. A LEED certification means that a building is designed and built to improve its performance in energy and water efficiency, carbon dioxide emissions reductions, improved indoor air quality, and resource stewardship. The P&G facility incorporates energy saving features, such as the use of roof skylights minimizing use of LED lighting during the day; and programmed ventilation utilizing 50% energy usage during the colder times of the day.
With almost 100% of its organization fully vaccinated, P&G’s booster program, is part of its continued efforts to prioritize the health and safety of their employees and to help the government’s efforts to vaccinate and boost as many as possible in the population. Its rollout will follow all government guidelines on eligibility and prioritization such as number of days since second dose, age and co-morbidities.
“Since the beginning, P&G’s number one priority has been protecting the health and safety of our employees. This enables us to keep serving consumers in the country and provide help to communities in need. Our focus is to be a force for good and a force for growth to help the country recover from this pandemic,” says Raffy Fajardo, President and General Manager of P&G Philippines.
The company’s Force for Good efforts have provided millions of P&G-produced face masks to frontliners, health and hygiene infrastructure and products to hospitals, schools and families, and support for mass education on DOH’s BIDA Solusyon tips against Covid-19.
The company immediately coordinated with the Department of Energy and the Visayan Electric Co. (VECO) and sent an advance party in Cebu on December 19 to help assess the extent of damage to power facilities.
