Toward regenerative development through integrated thinking.

The EDC Value Chain strives to implement measures to lessen our carbon footprint, while simultaneously maximizing our shared value to society and the environment.

Our Vision

To be the leading global geothermal energy company and key provider of clean, renewable 24/7 energy.

Our Mission

To forge collaborative pathways for a decarbonized and regenerative future.

Our Purpose

We recognize that our planet’s life support systems and social institutions are now at a breaking point. Unbridled consumption and primacy of bottom- line growth are at the root of the climate crisis, our alienation from nature, and the profound social and economic divisions, that have become existential threats to humanity today.

Overcoming all of these challenges will require paradigm shifts in the ways that we think, live, and do business. It is now clear that pursuing sustainability that seeks only to do less harm is no longer good enough.

Instead, we need to create symbiotic, mutually beneficial relationships with nature and society that benefit more than just shareholders. Businesses today must urgently become a regenerative force that elevates everything that they touch— customers, employees, suppliers, contractors, the environment, communities, and investors.

The transformation cannot be done by entities working alone. We are mindful that we exist within highly diverse and nested systems, and that we must all play unique, reciprocal, and synchronized roles in a world that needs to be healed.

Our collective success will be measured by how quickly we can decouple economic and social prosperity from the destruction of our planet’s life support systems.

We choose this path because it is the only way to a destination where everyone has the opportunity to thrive and prosper on a healthy planet. We choose this path because we believe it is the only way to create lasting value for all stakeholders and not just shareholders. We choose this path because it is inseparable from the Lopez Values that have, and always will, define us.

Our Way to Play

We promote a regenerative society by increasing access to reliable renewable energy through purposeful innovation and proactive partnerships.

Our Capability System:

• Sustainable Generation–expansive understanding and management of geothermal resource to develop and optimize resilient assets
• Purposeful Innovation–systematic identification and deployment of groundbreaking ideas that improve performance and customer satisfaction
• Committed Stakeholder Ecosystem–integrated approach in building mutually beneficial relationships to progress our regenerative agenda
• Transformative Integration–Deft integration of targeted acquisitions that increase corporate value
• Organizational Agility–Delivery of fast, customer centric solutions through self-organized teams who can pivot and prioritize

Our Chosen Path

We take the path that puts the welfare of present and future generations as our foremost concern, choosing to use our heritage and expertise as a leading geothermal energy provider to fulfill our duty to co-create a regenerative society.

We strive to deepen our relationships with customers. Understanding their need for dependable and affordable renewable energy, we purposefully innovate to improve our services to provide the best possible customer experience.

We embark to broaden the markets we serve. Our four decades of advancing renewable energy in the Philippines creates the impetus to expand globally and accelerate decarbonization.

We build trusted partnerships with public and private stakeholders to shape a regenerative society. We commit to think, live, and do business in a manner that enables nature to flourish and humanity to prosper alongside an economy that advances.

We foster a culture that cares deeply for the wellbeing of our people. We empower people to reach their full potential in a workplace where accountability, performance orientation, and collaboration is the norm.

Shared value through integrated thinking: Integrated reporting illustrates how we create and share value.

Key Stakeholders

EDC continues to work closely with its key stakeholders and engages them through various channels. Their insight and feedback help inform EDC’s programs and activities and provide guidance in our reporting and communicating on sustainability.

Key Performance Indicators

EDC revisited its material topics with its Technical Working Group (TWG) and investors.

With the shift to the integrated reporting framework, these topics were reviewed in light of their significance on EDC’s ability to achieve its business goals and create value for its stakeholders. These topics were also evaluated for their influence on EDC’s control over the matter.

Given these topics, EDC’s report reflects not only business priorities, but also our responsibility to people and the planet, and our commitment to regenerative development.
