Implementation of Green Strategies for DLPC
ABSTRACT
Over the past years, sustainability has become an important strategic objective for
businesses. Based on this operations management concept, companies should operate
in ways that secure their long-term economic performance by avoiding short-term
behaviors which are socially detrimental or environmentally wasteful. The organizations’
growing interest in sustainability can be attributed to the increasing internal and external
pressures and to the risk of losing sales and even jeopardizing their survival. In addition,
organizations have realized that they can enjoy cost savings and gain long-term
competitive advantage by being concerned about the future of people and the planet and
through the creation of unique sustainability-oriented processes.
In this paper, recommendations are made for DLPC transition to green
manufacturing strategies. The need to execute strategies addressing environmental
concerns and encouraging environment conservation and protection is vital for the
Company to comply with governmental rules and external audit requirements and stay
relevant in the industry as more consumers become environmentally concerned. The
paper proposes an essential program for the Company's successful transition to Green
Practices focusing on the Company's use of one of the most important resources –
electricity. As renewable energy is the pathway to environment sustainability, this paper
proposes a solar power system for DLPC Inc. to reduce its electricity consumption and
greenhouse emissions. The suggestions in this study were developed using an analysis
of numerical data and other information that the Company and its Pollution Control
Officers supplied during different interviews.

II. PROBLEM STATEMENT
Over the years, consumers have evidently become more conscious of their
electrical energy consumption. In PWC’s 2019 Global Consumer Insights Survey taken
by 21,480 respondents across the world, 35% confirmed that they chose sustainable
products to help protect the environment (Emert, A., July 8, 2021, The Rise of EcoFriendly Consumer). This was also supported by the study conducted by Mastercard
entitled "How the COVID-19 Pandemic has Impacted Consumer Attitudes About the
Environment," which highlighted that 24% of consumers confirmed that they are likely to
stop shopping from brands with no sustainability plans. Perhaps this is the reason for
7
Implementation of Green Strategies for DLPC
increasing regulations in external audit certifications, customer audits, and sustainability
reporting required especially by the Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC).
As a primary producer of raw materials for business-to-consumer products,
DLPC's clients, as part of its Corporate Social Responsibility, require activities on
combating environmental challenges including land pollution, water pollution, and global
warming, among others. Moreover, DLPC must be proactive in planning for and executing
sustainable measures in addition to its 3R (Reduce, Reuse, and Recycle) in order to
preserve and recruit new consumers in light of the growing trend for businesses to
enhance their eco-credentials.
As we begin to experience the long-term implications of exponential industrial
growth and energy consumption, we must take action to reverse these effects and prevent
additional environmental degradation so that future generations can live in healthy
surroundings. This comprises businesses adhering to environmentally friendly practices
to contribute to the building of vibrant communities and assure future growth potential.
III. ANALYSIS
A. Transition to Renewable Energy Source
Sustainability requires companies to integrate environmental factors in its
operations so as not to compromise the future generations. This means that companies
must consider the adverse effects of its processes on the environment and come up
with measures to reduce, if not eliminate, such practices.
In the Philippines, global warming due to emission of greenhouse gasses or
carbon dioxide (CO2) remains to be a top issue (Healthy Options, Top 10
8
Implementation of Green Strategies for DLPC
Environmental Issues Facing Our Planet). Globally, industrial processes rank 3rd
highest source of greenhouse gas emissions (Center for Climate and Energy Solutions,
2019) with the Production Sector contributing to 20% such emissions. This translates
to 54% of the world’s energy sources (World Economic Forum, March 23, 2022,
Reducing the carbon footprint of the manufacturing industry through data sharing).
Thus, the need for manufacturing companies like DLPC, to implement measures to
reduce its greenhouse emissions. Greenhouse gas emissions may be reduced by
using renewable energy instead of electricity from fossil fuels (Center for Science
Education, 2020, How Do We Reduce Greenhouse Gasses?).
Renewable energy is an essential resource in developing emissions reduction
strategies and in fighting the issues on climate change, energy security, and access to
energy in the Philippines (Department of Energy, National Renewable Energy
Program). Renewable energy may come from biofuels or biomass, geothermal,
hydropower, ocean, wind power, or solar power. It is sustainable and inexhaustible if
properly managed (Delos Santos, A., Department of Energy, Renewable Energy in the
Philippines).
Solar Power is harnessed through Solar Panels or also known as “PV
(Photovoltaic) Panels” which convert sunlight to usable electricity. On a policy brief
published by Deutsche Gesellschaft für Internationale Zusammenarbeit (GIZ) GmbH,
according to the National Renewable Energy Laboratory, a US federal laboratory, an
average solar radiation ranges from 128-203 watts per square meter in the Philippines,
or an average of 161.7 watts per square meter.

Implementation of Green Strategies for DLPC
In 2018, tobacco firm Philip Morris International Inc. invested USD 3.1 million to
install a 2.5-hectare solar power plant for its manufacturing facility in the province of
Batangas. The solar plant is expected to produce 3,500 MWh of emission-free
electricity, which will result in a reduction of 2,000 tons of carbon dioxide (CO₂)
annually.
Globally, a large number of prominent businesses from diverse industries are
investing heavily in solar projects for the same reason: to save money while protecting
the environment. Amazon, Ikea, Walmart, and Apple are among the top 10
corporations that have switched to solar energy for their operations, according to a May
28, 2018 CNBC article.
The benefits of solar energy align with the three pillars of sustainability:
environmental, economic, and social. Our nation relies heavily on fossil fuels as its
primary energy source. The main source of greenhouse gas emissions in the United
States, according to the Environmental Protection Agency, is the combustion of fossil
fuels for electricity, heat, and transportation.
Using solar energy as a substitute for coal reduces reliance on fossil fuels. As the
demand for solar energy and other forms of renewable energy increases, the price of
electricity sold on the Wholesale Electricity Spot Market (WESM) decreases, which in
turn reduces the cost of electricity for the public. Additionally, as part of the
government’s efforts to encourage more firms and private entities to reduce CO₂
emissions, eligible firms can also benefit from fiscal incentives such as the 7-year
income tax holiday, investment tax credits, solar rebates and exemption from universal
charge, among others.
10
Implementation of Green Strategies for DLPC
Solar energy could be more beneficial for manufacturing firms, as these
organizations utilize more energy, particularly during the production process. This
energy consumption is not only an added expense for the corporation in the form of
industrial overhead, but it also contributes to environmental destruction. This rule
applies to any manufacturing company, including DLPC, whose operations are on a
bigger scale, along with the associated expenses and environmental degradation.
Based on the 2020 Philippine Energy Situationer & Key Energy Statistics
released by the Department of Energy on August 4, 2021, the manufacturing sector
consistently accounted for the lion’s share at 88.8% energy consumption.
B. DLPC’s Monthly Power Consumption
Looking at DLPC's energy use, consumption is typically lowest in January but
averages around 643,000 KWh throughout the year. With the rate ranging from Php6
to Php11 per kilowatt hour, this results in an average of Php5,580,000.00 monthly
electric cost for DLPCI’s Laguna Plant.
Below is DLPC’s Electricity Consumption History for year 2022 and 2021:
Figure 3.1 DLPCI’s Actual Electricity Consumption (2022)
11

Figure 3.2 DLPCI’s Actual Electricity Consumption (20221)
C. Project Cost (Outright and Annual Maintenance Cost)
For this paper, we based pricing on the Jinko Solar panel, namely the JKM
530Wp-72HC model. Based on the panel's dimensions and the roof space available
at the DLPCI plant, 2,968 panels are anticipated to be installed. This will result in an
overall system output of 1,573 kWp.
Figure 3.3 Blueprint of Proposed Solar Panel Installation
12
Implementation of Green Strategies for DLPC
The installation of solar panels is projected to incur the outright cost of
Php116,699,308. Note that the maintenance cost does not account for an increase in
fees associated through the estimated 30-year lifespan of the solar panels.

D. Projected Consumption with Solar Panel Installation
Figure 3.6 Comparison of Energy Consumption
Based on the 2021 energy consumption of DLPCI’s Laguna plant which averages
around 744,628.37 kWh per month, the proposed installation of solar panels will help
reduce the current consumption by around 30%. This translates to a monthly savings
of around Php 2,200,889.17.

E. Projected Payback Period
Note: The computation has 2% annual degradation
Figure 3.7 Projected Payback Period
Based on the above table, the forecasted payback period for this project is 6.65
years. The project is also expected to deliver an estimated total savings of
Php439,147,522.12 throughout the 30-year lifespan of the solar panel.
IV. RECOMMENDATIONS
The installation of solar panels is one of the most significant steps DLCP may take
in shifting to sustainable practices. The development of projects and programs that will
also align their people and processes towards this direction must be done in order for a
full transition to be achieved. Therefore, it is recommended that the following actions be
taken to assist DLPC in maintaining its green program, as they can help allay worries
15
Implementation of Green Strategies for DLPC
about the sustainability of renewable energy and slow the rate at which the ozone layer
is being destroyed because of greenhouse gas emissions:
●
Creation of the Green Management Team
Establish a Green Management Program which will provide the framework
for the company’s sustainability initiatives. The program should also dedicate a
team to help facilitate the sustainable projects and monitor their effectiveness, both
as compliance to the DENR regulations and company’s objectives.
The Green Management Team shall likewise regularly facilitate an ideasharing program which will allow employees to propose environmentally friendly or
sustainable ideas. This would assist facility managers to implement conservation
programs effectively, thereby enhancing future sustainability. To produce better
results, it is possible to do further research and study as well as collaborate with
businesses that have similar goals.
The Green Management Team shall also represent DLPC in consultation
with the government sectors and other stakeholders and shall be responsible in
keeping the company and its employees on the recent developments on
sustainability and environment.
● Integrate green management and sustainability practices into DLPC
operations
In addition to all of these, DLPC may also integrate sustainability and green
management to its operations by allotting a part of its employees Key Performance
Indicators (KPI). As an example, each team must be able to propose, have
16
Implementation of Green Strategies for DLPC
approved and implement any green initiative within the year in order to achieve 3%
of its target. The target may be increased year by year by DLPC based on its need
evaluation. This action strives to alter employee behavior and, over time, integrate
sustainability and green management into the culture of the business.
The Green Management Team can take the lead in formulating and
promoting business policies that are concerned with sustainability and the
environment. Accordingly, it might offer employee orientation and awareness
programs.
Through its additional CSR initiatives, the corporation could contribute to
raising awareness about the impact of human activity on the environment,
enhancing education, and mitigating climate change. This would increase
everyone's awareness of the fundamental information about climate change and
the emphasis on various climate mitigation strategies, such as the use of
renewable energy sources, sustainable land use, preserving marine life,
decentralizing energy distribution, and promoting sustainable environmental
measures.
● Active participation by DLPC in government initiative forums and
discussions
Through its Green Team, DLPC can initiate the formulation of policies and
actively participate in government and business sector discussions regarding
technological advancements to support and encourage the establishment of the
necessary infrastructure and processes for solar panel installation.
17
Implementation of Green Strategies for DLPC
This allows the government to encourage energy efficiency programs, such
as tax breaks and other incentives for businesses that implement environmental
sustainability measures. It is feasible to enhance the use of renewable energy by
institutionalizing the development of local and national capacities in the use of
renewable energy systems and encouraging the efficient and inexpensive use of
renewable energy through the provision of fiscal and nonfinancial incentives.
V. JUSTIFICATION OF RECOMMENDATIONS
This paper highlights the economic and environmental benefits of utilizing
renewable energy concept sources, such as DPLC's Solar Panel Installation. The energy
generated by the 1573 kWp PV installation contributes between 25% and 40% of DLPC
Inc.'s monthly energy usage. Consequently, there is a reduction in the energy bill
associated with grid-connected electricity. In addition to the financial component, there is
the added benefit of emission credits by preventing carbon emissions during the life of
the project. The suggested solar panel system reduces annual energy consumption by
more than 2.6million kWh and annual CO₂ emissions by approximately 615,000
kilograms.
As for the budget for the investment of the proposed project amounting to
Php116,699,308, it is within the budget which may be considered and approved by the
management should the Supply Chain finally decide for its implementation. It is expected
that the proposal will be viewed favorably considering that the expected payback period
is only approximately 7 years. Upon approval of the proposal, the DLPC Supply Chain
team must also assess the roof capacity of the facility, which was constructed in 2007
18
Implementation of Green Strategies for DLPC
when DLPC had not yet explored the idea of putting solar panels. The above benefits
mentioned emphasized both environmental and financial benefits achieving broader
conceptualization of sustainability.
Nonetheless, just like any projects to be implemented in a company, challenges
may be expected. Market failures, lack of information, access to raw materials for future
renewable resource deployment, and most importantly, lack of proper orientation and
appreciation of the users, which may result in inefficient ways of utilizing solar panels and
the energy generated by these, are some of the foreseen obstacles that may hinder the
sustainability of renewable energy sources.
The supplementary considerations and resources that could be required for the
complete implementation of the green business plan are listed below:
•
Creation of the Green Management Team
The Department of Environment and Natural Resources (DENR) requires
an Environmental Compliance Certificate (ECC) for any project of any kind
undertaken in the Philippines that may have an impact on the environment
(DENR). If the DENR-EMB team determines that the Environmental Impact
Statement does not cover the project, the project may instead be given a
Certificate of Non-Coverage (CNC) (EIS). All planned projects identified as
Environmentally Critical Projects (ECPs) or projects located in Environmentally
Critical Areas (ECAs) that are alleged to have significant environmental effects
should get DENR's ECC.
19
Implementation of Green Strategies for DLPC
Pollution Control Officer (PCO) is a post requirement for DENR, which
regularly monitors companies and projects' compliance.
Following government-mandated laws is essential in the operation of the
business. Penalties and fines related to violations of specific administrative orders
by DENR included minimum fines of Php50,000 per violation, revocation of permits
and the possibility of a proponent's imprisonment.
•
Integrate green management and sustainability practices into DLPC
operations
In areas where the company may have a major positive influence, DLPC
Industries is steadfastly committed to supporting specific targets of the Sustainable
Development Goals (SDGs) of the United Nations by 2030. Part of the DLPC’s
target are in line with Affordable and Clean Energy are (1) By 2030, increase
substantially the share of renewable energy in the global energy mix; (2) By 2030,
double the global rate of improvement in energy efficiency, and (3) By 2030,
upgrade infrastructure and retrofit industries to make them sustainable, with
increased
resource-use
efficiency and
greater adoption
of clean
and
environmentally sound technologies and industrial processes, with all countries
taking action in accordance with their respective capabilities (D&L Industries, Inc.
Sustainability Report 2021).
Research, development, and systematic innovation shape and propel the
company, engaging most chemists in the Philippines and about 14% of the entire
workforce of the organization is made up of IT employees. In order to recognize
20
Implementation of Green Strategies for DLPC
the market needs that must be satisfied with sustainable solutions; the company is
devoted to staying up to date on the newest technologies and keeping its finger on
the pulse of the marketplace. The company's ability to boost production yields and
reduce waste generation is made possible through automation and the installation
of cutting-edge equipment an intends to upskill its employees.
DLPC has been maintaining positive ties with the community as it goes
beyond not merely of social responsibility but also serves as a way to stay
connected and aware its community, especially when issues or challenging
circumstance develop. Aside from the strategy of improving one life by funding
education in specific communities based on where the plants are located,
mentoring the localities entails collaborating with the aforementioned communities
to support, nurture, and direct the advancement of the green initiative both within
the company and on the community.
•
Active participation by DLPC in government initiative forums and
discussions
The National Renewable Energy Program describes the constitutional
provisions of Republic Act 9513. (NREP). The goals of the Renewable Energy Act
of 2008 are outlined in this document, which also establishes the strategic pillars
that will help the country achieve them. This document also signifies the nation's
significant shift from disjointed and short-lived renewable energy projects to a
concentrated and sustained push for greater access to renewable energy and
energy security.
21
Implementation of Green Strategies for DLPC
The NREP offers indicative intermediate targets for the delivery of
renewable energy from 2011 to 2030. Though the ambitious target originally set in
year 2020 was not fully reached due to exact planning, finance, and construction
of renewable energy infrastructure, the national program is on periodic review to
ensure it conforms to the policy objectives set out in RA 9513.
By institutionalizing the growth of local and national capabilities in the use
of renewable energy systems and promoting their efficient and affordable
commercial application by offering fiscal incentives, a qualified business may
frequently benefit from various advantages and incentives under Revenue
Regulations No. 07-2022. Below are some of the fiscal incentives available to
renewable energy developers:
1. Seven-year Income Tax Holiday
2. Net Operating Loss Carry-Over (NOLCO)
3. 10% corporate tax rate
4. Accelerated Depreciation
5. Zero Percent Value-Added Tax Rate
6. Tax exemption of carbon credits
Through the involvement of DLPC and similar companies, the government
will be able to fully assess and comprehend the business's actual situation. The
government may then propose new incentives and programs or amend outdated
rules and regulations to encourage businesses to work harder to advance their
green strategy.
