Ayala group’s healthcare solutions, AC Health, has partnered with ACEN Renewable Energy Solutions (ACEN RES) in an effort to shift its medical facilities to renewable energy (RE).
“By powering AC Health’s facilities with clean energy, we are reducing their environmental impact while supporting their mission of improving health outcomes. This collaboration reinforces our shared vision of creating a more sustainable future for the country,” said ACEN president and CEO Eric Francia.
In a statement, ACEN announced that six Healthway Medical Network facilities will now be powered by its diverse portfolio of RE sources, including wind, solar, and geothermal.
The initial facilities making the transition to renewable energy are Healthway QualiMed Hospital Santa Rosa, Healthway QualiMed Manila, and Healthway Cancer Care Hospital, the first specialized cancer care facility in the Philippines, located in Arca South, Taguig.
Additional facilities joining the shift include Healthway QualiMed Hospital San Jose Del Monte (Bulacan), Healthway Daniel O. Mercado Medical Center, and FEU-NRMF Medical Center in Quezon City.
AC Health president and CEO Paolo Borromeo said that this collaboration marked a significant step toward sustainability, with both organizations having prioritized innovation through eco-friendly initiatives. Their decision to transition to renewable energy not only reduces emissions but also lays the groundwork for a greener future for future generations.
“By embracing renewable energy, we are not only reducing our carbon footprint but also doing our part to ensure a healthier planet for future generations. We are continuously improving our integrated waste management practices to reduce environmental impact across all our operations,” Borromeo added.
By adopting renewable energy, AC Health’s facilities aim to prevent an estimated 68,360 tons of CO2 emissions during the contract period. This reduction is comparable to the CO2 absorption capacity of about 3.1 million trees over the course of a year.
