The event also conducted an Environmental High Level Policy Dialogue between involved governments.

APC Group answered the call by the Asean-Japan Center to partake in a momentous event, made possible by joint efforts of stakeholders locally and internationally. Ernie Carlos, APC director for supply chain management and chief sustainability officer, represented the company.

As one of the leading corporate businesses and a front-runner in driving sustainable efforts and conversations in the country, his message highlighted APC's commitment to reduce its environmental impact toward 2030 and beyond, with the hopes of imparting relevant information and action plans, ultimately inspiring stakeholders to make the move and begin replicable efforts.

At present, there are various environmental challenges both Japan and the Philippines are facing, but just like other obstacles, there is always a way to mitigate and eventually solve them. The partnership forged by the continued efforts between the two countries is one of the many ways in which banding together proves that creating a more sustainable and green future is achievable.
