BDO backs sustainable thrusts of Philippine companies

MANILA, Philippines — BDO Unibank Inc. continues to support sustainable companies, as it embraces a green future by enhancing its relationship to help the business and protect the planet.

The country’s largest bank remains committed to creating a positive impact and making a difference in the community.

For one, the listed bank’s financial support to green vehicles helps drive progress, create jobs, and achieve inclusive and sustainable economic growth.

BDO has strengthened its commitment to a sustainable future as it continues to finance remarkable projects that benefit the environment and present opportunities for economic growth.

“As a key driver in helping propel the economy, the bank realizes the significance of supporting eco-friendly initiatives, such as renewable energy, clean transportation, pollution prevention and control, and electric vehicles to reduce greenhouse gas emissions,” BDO said in a statement.

PGA Cars, the sole importer and dealer of luxury brands Porsche, Audi, Lamborghini, and Bentley in the Philippines, takes the lead in introducing sustainable and cleaner transport solutions in the country by bringing in the fully electric Porsche Taycan and Audi e-tron range.

These EV models are accompanied by significant investments in infrastructure and manpower development, as well as partnerships with organizations that share the company’s values on environmental, social and governance (ESG).

PGA Cars’ FutureNow sustainable mobility program reflects and is in lockstep with the goals of the company’s partner brands, and thereby serves as a declaration of PGA Cars’ full commitment to a carbon neutral future.

“Within five years, we expect that half of our new car sales will be fully electric as the technology improves further and consumers gain even more confidence in our products. PGA Cars’ transition to electromobility will spur more EV-related infrastructure from both the private and public sectors,” PGA Cars chairman Roberto Coyiuto III said.

PGA Cars provides every Porsche Taycan and Audi e-tron a home charging solution, as well as a portable charging device in the car. All these are inclusive with the purchase of the vehicles.

Plus, all PGA Cars dealerships have charging stations that customers can use for free. These are further complemented by an ever-growing network of public charging facilities, like those in SM Supermalls.
