IPC President Murakami presented the company’s Road To Progress vision which aims to realign IPC’s business process through a new perspective that focuses on the environmental, social, and governance aspects. One of the significant steps IPC is taking to lessen the carbon footprint of its manufacturing plant is by shifting to renewable energy sources such as using solar power. IPC currently sources energy from solar plants in Pampanga and Bataan but is set to install its own panels in their Laguna plant in order to generate its own sustainable energy. IPC is also encouraging its dealers to follow its lead in switching to renewable energy in the next years, envisioning a lower carbon footprint for the entire Isuzu dealer network.
Through IPC’s new vision, they take their tagline “Your Responsible Partner” to a new level which goes beyond providing durable, fuel-efficient, and environment-friendly products to give the best transport and business solutions to Filipinos. Being a responsible partner is forging a new path to a more sustainable and greener future.
