Environmental Stewardship
Balik -Baterya Program
FDC Misamis Power Corporation partnered with Oriental & Motolite Corporation and the Philippine Business for Social Progress for the Balik Baterya Program to further its commitment to environmental stewardship. Balik Baterya Program is O&MC’s flagship project, which aims to provide a platform for the private sector to dispose of used lead-acid batteries (ULABs) properly.
These types of batteries contain lead and sulfuric acid. If improperly discarded, ULABs have a devastating impact on the environment as they can contaminate waterways and pose a potential threat to human health.
The Balik Baterya is a two-pronged endeavor that provides financial benefits to supporting companies where O&MC offers cash value for every ULABs donated. The proceeds can be used as an additional source of CSR funds to implement socio-economic projects within communities.
Through the Balik Baterya Program, FDC Misamis ensures proper handling of ULABs and promotes recycling among its stakeholders. The company launched the program on October 27, 2021, handing over around 2.5tons of used batteries to Motolite.
