NLEX Corporation was recognized by the Department of Environment and Natural Resources – Environmental Management Bureau (DENR-EMB) as a Gawad Kabalikat sa Kapaligiran Awardee for its outstanding contributions to environmental stewardship and commitment to sustainability.
“Beyond proud and grateful, we see this award as a platform to influence other organizations to join our mission in protecting the environment and ensuring a greener future for the next generation,” said Luis S. Reñon, President and General Manager of NLEX Corporation.
Over the years, NLEX Corporation has implemented innovative sustainability initiatives to address complex environmental challenges. These include Road to Less Waste, a program educating host communities on recycling and proper waste management; the construction of rainwater harvesting systems to optimize water recycling and efficiency; and the integration of electric vehicles (EVs) into its fleet to further reduce its operational carbon footprint.
NLEX also actively supports the government-led “Oplan Kontra Baha” program, a nationwide flood mitigation initiative aimed at cleaning waterways and reducing flood risks in host local government units (LGUs). Through close collaboration with national agencies and LGUs, NLEX provides resources and operational support to strengthen environmental resilience across all impacted areas.
These initiatives represent just a portion of NLEX’s comprehensive sustainability programs, reflecting the company’s continued commitment to integrating environmentally responsible practices into its operations while building stronger, more resilient communities.
NLEX Corporation is a subsidiary of the Metro Pacific Tollways Corporation (MPTC), the toll road arm of the Manuel V. Pangilinan-led Metro Pacific Investments Corporation (MPIC). (UnliNews Online)
