Environment Secretary Antonia Loyzaga has urged the country’s top business leaders to work with government on efforts to address the climate crisis and create sustainable communities.
Speaking at the general membership meeting of the Management Association of the Philippines (MAP), Loyzaga pointed out that “climate action for resilience is everyone’s business.”
“Our government needs partners who go beyond ESG (environmental, social and governance) and the fencelines of their operations to ensure ecosystem integrity and the resilience of communities that surround their operations,” Loyzaga told an assembly of CEOs, COOs and other top management executives from the largest companies in the Philippines.
The environment chief added that the government also needs “partners who go beyond compliance to achieve strategic shared values, and who are committed within their core business value cycles to going beyond just their specific contributions to GDP.”
