Pilipinas Shell continues to promote carbon footprint reduction in the construction industry by forging agreements with CEMEX Holdings Philippines, Inc., Roadex Construction Corporation, and GREEN ANTZ BUILDERS.
The energy leader aims to leverage its strong bitumen business, expertise in low-carbon fuels and cleaner energy solutions to help these companies solve their unique decarbonization challenges.
“These collaborations are in line with our aim of putting sustainability at the heart of our strategy which is powering progress for the nation,” said Lorelie Quiambao-Osial, Country Chair of Shell companies in the Philippines.
Department of Public Works and Highways (DPWH) Undersecretary for Information Management and Technical Services Maximo Carvajal welcomed the collaboration which he says will ultimately help the country “achieve our common goals of providing quality, safe, and environment-friendly public infrastructure facilities that will improve the lives of every Filipino.”
Three Memoranda of Understanding (MOUs) formalized the collaboration between Pilipinas Shell — Construction and Road and its partners.
Allan Canedo, Pilipinas Shell Construction and Road Country Business Manager, says they intend to support their partners on their sustainability journeys by working with them on developing fit-for-purpose solutions and providing integrated offers across the supply chain, which will contribute to reducing emissions.
Pilipinas Shell provides Bitumen solutionsthat help reduce a company’s business impact on the environment during projects; lubricant solutions that help reduce emission, enhance productivity and save money; fuel solutions that enable higher equipment utilization and site productivity; equipment management solutions that make it easier to manage productivity, improve carbon footprint and reduce operating costs; and a carbon compensation program that enables companies to balance unavoidable emissions through nature-based projects.
The energy company also launched Bitumen and Beyond, its initiative to provide solutions not just for bitumen needs, but also for low-carbon fuels, and energy transition products and services.
Sriram Musunuri, General Manager for Shell Construction and Road Asia, says the macro approach of understanding the industry’s value chain and determining where Pilipinas Shell can provide solutions will benefit the company’s existing customers and partners, as well as potential ones from the construction industry.
