According to the presentation of IPC President Murakami, the Road To Progress vision aims to realign IPC’s business process through a new perspective focusing on the environment, social, and governance aspects. One of the steps taken in protecting the environment is shifting its energy source from coal power plants to renewable sources like solar power plants to decrease the carbon emission of its manufacturing plant. IPC is also encouraging its dealers to follow its lead in switching to renewable energy in the next years, envisioning a lower carbon footprint for the entire Isuzu dealer network.
Through IPC’s new vision, they take their tagline “Your Responsible Partner” to a new level. It goes beyond providing durable, fuel-efficient, and environment-friendly products to offer Filipinos the best transport and business solutions. Being a responsible partner is forging a new path to a more sustainable and greener future.
