The Energy Transition Imperative

The energy and power sector sits at the heart of the global sustainability movement. In the Philippines, where energy demand continues to rise alongside climate risks, the call for sustainable energy systems has never been louder. Companies are now expected not only to deliver reliable power but to do so in a way that supports net-zero targets and climate resilience.

As investors, regulators, and communities push for accountability, sustainability reporting has become essential to how energy firms communicate progress on their environmental, social, and governance (ESG) performance.

ESG Priorities for the Energy and Power Sector

1. Decarbonization and Emission Reduction
   The road to net zero begins with understanding your baseline emissions. Power producers are expected to disclose both direct (Scope 1) and indirect (Scope 2) emissions under frameworks like IFRS S2 and TCFD, while setting science-based targets for reduction.
2. Renewable Energy Transition
   The shift toward solar, wind, and hydro projects reflects growing investor preference for low-carbon portfolios. Sustainability reporting allows companies to demonstrate how their transition plans align with nationally determined contributions (NDCs) and global climate commitments.
3. Supply Chain Governance
   Beyond energy generation, companies are scrutinized for how they source fuel, materials, and technology. Responsible procurement practices—such as ethical sourcing and fair labor—are becoming integral to ESG assurance.
4. Climate Risk Management
   With typhoons and heatwaves affecting operations, TCFD-aligned reporting enables companies to identify, disclose, and mitigate physical and transition risks tied to climate change.

Sustainability Assurance: Building Investor Trust

In the energy sector, data credibility is key. Independent sustainability assurance validates ESG disclosures, increasing investor and stakeholder confidence. It assures that emission data, renewable investments, and governance practices are not just aspirational, but verifiable.
