Yusen Logistics Philippines Switches to 100% Renewable Power for Parañaque Headquarters
Yusen Logistics Philippines, Inc. has entered into a renewable energy supply agreement with ACEN Renewable Energy Solutions (ACEN RES), advancing its decarbonization strategy by shifting its Parañaque City head office to 100% renewable electricity.
The agreement, signed on February 10, 2026, enables the global supply chain provider to source clean power through the government’s Green Energy Option Program (GEOP), reinforcing its commitment to environmental sustainability and long-term climate targets.
Mitsutaka Matsubara, President of Yusen Logistics Philippines, said the transition aligns with the company’s broader emissions reduction roadmap. Yusen Logistics aims to cut greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions by 45% by 2030 from a 2022 baseline and achieve net-zero emissions across all services by 2050. He underscored that these goals are guided by the Japanese philosophy of Jibun-goto—a principle that emphasizes personal responsibility and proactive action in addressing challenges rather than waiting for change to occur.
By opting into GEOP, Yusen Logistics is able to directly procure renewable energy from ACEN RES, the retail electricity arm of the Ayala Group. The program, established under the Renewable Energy Act of 2008, allows qualified electricity end-users to choose licensed renewable energy suppliers and source their full power requirements from clean energy facilities.
ACEN RES Vice President and Head of Account Management Sheila Mina welcomed Yusen Logistics into its portfolio of sustainability-focused partners. She noted that the company’s decision to source 100% renewable power demonstrates leadership in reducing carbon emissions within the logistics sector. In recognition of this commitment, ACEN RES awarded Yusen Logistics its “Powered by Renewable Energy” badge, a symbol of corporate support for the country’s energy transition.
ACEN RES currently leads the GEOP market, accounting for 57% of supply under the program, based on the latest Competitive Retail Electricity Market report from the Energy Regulatory Commission.
The partnership reflects a broader trend among multinational firms operating in the Philippines to align local operations with global climate commitments, while contributing to the country’s push for a cleaner and more sustainable energy mix.
