The partnership between TAP and MPower began in 2013 and was pivotal in TAP’s transition to 100% renewable energy in December 2019. This initiative supports Toyota’s broader goals for global sustainability and carbon neutrality, underscoring TAP’s dedication to environmental responsibility.
Redel Domingo, first vice president and head of MPower, welcomed the renewed partnership, stating, “We are honored to continue supporting Toyota Aisin Philippines in their sustainability journey.
