Environmental Management in Philippine Geothermal Development

Abstract

PNOC-EDC's environmental management program was in 1978, as proof of the early corporate recognition of the importance of the environmental mission. Since then it has grown and matured to include the company's positive response to pressures from environmental advocacy groups, and its desire to fully comply with progressively stringent government regulations. PNOC has also been chosen by other governments like New Zealand partners in various environmental management initiatives.What has developed over the past 14 years is a dedicated environmental group that has stayed and developed the company's and the country's competence in the environmental field.
