6. THEN & NOW, EDC„S RENEWABLE ENERGY PROJECTS SUPPORT
THE ECONOMIC & ENVIRONMENTAL GOALS OF THE PHILIPPINES
EDC is Purely Renewable
• 65% of the Philippines’ installed geothermal power capacity
• 14% of the Philippines’ total power generation
Substantial Country Contribution
• Displaced 114M barrels of oil import (P240 B savings)
• Social projects of P 2 B since 1987
• Paid P 34.5B taxes and fees to the government since 1983
Lower Carbon Emissions
Avoids 5.2 M tons of C/yr of operation to mitigate climate change
Between 85-92% lower than in grids where EDC operates:
• Visayas Grid: 0.21 CO2 ton/MWh vs. EDC Visayas: 0.03 CO2 ton/MWh
• Mindanao Grid: 0.28 CO2 ton/MWh vs. EDC Mindanao: 0.02 CO2 ton/MWh

13. Stakeholder communication strategy

14. Sustainability Management
is a key word in the corporate
strategy of the 21st century

15. Whom & what to communicate?

16. WHAT USUALLY HAPPENS:
COMPANIES PROPOSE INITIATIVES TO
BECOME SUSTAINABLE

18. WHAT USUALLY HAPPENS:
THEN THEY SHARE THE INFORMATION
TO THEIR STAKEHOLDERS

19. WHEN IN FACT IT SHOULD BE CONDUCTED THE
OTHER WAY AROUND

20. FIRST, GET TO KNOW WHAT STAKEHOLDERS WANT TO
CHANGE ABOUT YOUR COMPANY PERFORMANCE

21. BRING THAT CHANGE PROCESS INTO THE CORPORATE
STRATEGY AND CULTURE

22. WHICH WILL LEAD TO DIFFERENT RESOLUTIONS THAT
CAN BENEFIT BOTH THE COMPANY & ITS STAKEHOLDERS

23. THEREFORE, INVOLVING THE STAKEHOLDERS IS THE
STARTING POINT

24. the storY BEHIND THE PROCESS
Stakeholder Mapping | Materiality Principle | Management Approach

25. EDC’S INTEGRATED SUSTAINABILITY REPORTING IS A RIGOROUS
PROCESS THAT HEAVILY INVOLVES STAKEHOLDER CONSULTATIONS &
MANAGEMENT STRATEGY
SUSTAINABILITY REPORTING
=
STAKEHOLDER ENGAGEMENT
+
STRATEGIC COMMUNICATIONS
Materiality Principle & Management Approach

26. THE GLOSSY COPY IS MERELY THE OUTPUT OF AN EXTENSIVE
UNDERLYING EFFORT THAT PRECEDES IT
The predominant value lies in the preparation:
• The selection of metrics (the use of GRI EUSS for
instance)
• The analysis of the business impacts and risks
(aligning with balanced score card, risk
management and business continuity)
• The gained insights to understand and improve
performance (evaluation & feedback from
previous report)

29. OUR MOUNT APO PROJECT EXPERIENCE IN 1990 SERVED AS A
CATALYST – IT TAUGHT US ABOUT THE SOCIAL ACCEPTABILITY PROCESS
(GRI DID NOT EXIST YET THEN)
 Being an ancestral domain, consent of the indigenous people (IP) was secured
in November 1990 and a ritual was performed in April 1992 prior to
project operation and IPRA of 1997
 That the geothermal project can coexist with the IPs in Mount Apo based on the
common goal of protecting the forest for the water-based project and ancestral
domain of the IPs
 That IPs have the right to benefit from the geothermal project (Mount Apo Tribal
Welfare Trust Fund in 1997 upon operation)

30. MANY CONSULTATIONS WERE HELD – A TRIBAL RITUAL WAS
EVEN PERFORMED FOR IP CONSENT
Pamaas Ritual (April 10, 1992)

31. EDC SIGNED A MOA WITH LGUS, IPS AND NGOS FOR THE
PROTECTION OF MOUNT APO AND BENEFITS TO IPS IN 1993
The Mount Apo Foundation, Inc.
was formed with IPs in the Board
of Trustees

32. THE RICH EXPERIENCE WE HAD IN THE PRE-SUSTAINABILITY REPORTING YEARS
PROVIDES US WITH A WEALTH OF INSIGHTS ON STAKEHOLDER ENGAGEMENT &
MATERIALITY TESTING, BOTH CRITICAL TO OUR REPORTING PROCESS TODAY
Multisectoral agreement paved the way for the permission to operate the Mindanao geothermal power projects
BY 1990 WE NEEDED TO BE STAKEHOLDER-RESPONSIVE EVEN BEFORE WE ADOPTED GRI

33. WE IDENTIFY OUR STAKEHOLDERS AND REGULARLY UPDATE THE
STAKEHOLDER MAP – THE “KNOWING” PART OF THE PROCESS

37. WE DO A COMPREHENSIVE ASSESSMENT OF OUR IMPACTS ACROSS THE
BUSINESS VALUE CHAIN AS KEY TAKEAWAY FROM OUR MOUNT APO
EXPERIENCE – THIS IS THE “MONITORING” PART OF THE PROCESS
Determining key issues and impacts

Specific CSR/sustainability initiatives are prioritized based on 1)Total weighted score; 2) Business
components affecting the environment & people; and 3) Product/customer type

38. THE ASSESSMENT REVEALS OUR POTENTIAL IMPACTS ON LAND, WATER AND
COMMUNITY, HENCE EFFORTS TO PRESERVE THE ENVIRONMENT AND HELP
COMMUNITIES ARE TO BE REFLECTED IN THE REPORT
Snapshots of our impact

39. STAKEHOLDER CONSULTATIONS ARE CONDUCTED TO LOOK INTO OTHER
CONCERNS AND ISSUES THAT WILL BE ADDED TO THE MATRIX OF
MATERIAL TOPICS – THIS IS THE “ENGAGING” PART OF THE PROCESS
Regular and

the following topics:
-Swimming 25 Teams formed as of 2011:
-First aid; basic life support

51. STAKEHOLDER-FOCUSED ACTIVITIES PROVIDE GROUNDED INFORMATION TO THE
BOARD AND MANAGEMENT; IN TURN A STRATEGIC DIRECTION INFLUENCES THE
OVERALL SUSTAINABILITY APPROACH – THE “ALIGNING” PART OF THE PROCESS
The DMA captures the spirit
and the intent of the
sustainability reporting
program

52. IN 2010, EDC STRENGTHENED ITS INTEGRATED SUSTAINABILITY STRATEGY BY
ARTICULATING THROUGH POLICIES AND MANAGEMENT DISCUSSION OF ITS
APPROACH TO SUSTAINABILITY
“The company‟s long-standing policy is to ensure that the
company‟s progress is in pace with environmental and
host communities‟ prosperity. We consider our
relationship with our stakeholders not only crucial to our
economic growth but, more importantly, we value their
insights on how best to responsibly improve on our
service, efficiency, productivity, and innovation”

53. EDC’S INTEGRATED SUSTAINABILITY REPORTS HAVE DMAs ON ITS IMPACTS ON
THE ECONOMY, ENVIRONMENT AND SOCIETY – BOARD PROMULGATED KEY

56. A SUSTAINABILITY REPORT ITSELF DOES NOT
INDICATE THAT A COMPANY IS MORE

WHAT IT DOES PROVIDE IS A CLEARER
UNDERSTANDING AND DISCLOSURE OF ACTIONS
AND MEASURES, AND TIES IT TO VARIOUS
BOTTOM LINES

60. Statements from top management
Balanced
Reported on accomplishments
Addressed issues and challenges (rarely seen in most reports)
“The challenges of changing mindsets &
transitioning a company from
government ownership to the private
sector can never be misjudged”.
“Even our ability to drill wells efficiently
and effectively, despite considerable
advances in the last four years, is an
area we must continue to improve
and drive towards an even higher
bar of excellence”.
“…a privatized EDC has to grab the issue by its horns and address it once and
for all. Let me assure you, our shareholders, that these major missteps are a
thing of the past given the governance that we have today.
“Yet another setback was conceding
“…the underperforming 49MW Northern Negros that the rehabilitation of our Bacman
plant would not meet the aggressive
Geothermal Power Plant (NNGP), contributed to internal target we set for ourselves to
driving our income down by 86 percent”. run by year’s end”.

63. The Federation of Bac-Man Host Communities(FEDBACH) was created to improve
coordination among community organizations for EDC project contracts
 EDC brokered the accreditation of FEDBACH with the Land Bank
 2011: Land Bank approved P10-million loan, allowing FEDBAHC to join in large-
scale contracts
 FEDBAHC is now a professionally run organization
 2009 Net Income: P4.49 million. 2010 Net Income: P8.43 million
 Today, runs its own welfare programs: livelihoods, scholarship, medical
mission, etc.

69. “Two graduates we hired from KEITECH are very successful and brought some good feedback both from
our Principal and their co-workers onboard their assigned vessel MV Queen Elizabeth. In fact, they
were nominated as "White Star Service" awardees due to exceptional quality work, discipline and
dedication to their assigned tasks. We have not received such kind of special recognition on any of our
new hires onboard Cunard ships. We are proud of their accomplishments and we thought we have to
share this with you, your students, members of faculty and the officers behind KEITECH.
Congratulations to your Team and for the job well done!”
