By prioritizing sustainability and innovation, Honda Philippines Inc. sets a noteworthy example for other companies, emphasizing the importance of transitioning to clean, solar energy in the global fight against climate change.
Gary Espino, Head of Skye Renewables Philippines, expressed gratitude, stating, “We are truly honored to have been selected by Honda to be their solar partner in the Philippines. Our development partner, Idemitsu Kosan Co., has worked with Honda for many years, so we are delighted to add energy-as-a-service to this enduring relationship.”
Honda Philippines’ President, Sayaka Arai-Hattori, emphasized the significance of the initiative, stating, “This is truly a milestone for Honda Philippines, Inc., because Honda has taken the initiative in the environmental commitment to realize carbon neutrality for all Honda products and corporate activities by 2050.”
In conclusion, the agreement to initiate rooftop solar power generation underscores the growing importance of sustainable energy solutions.
