Our sustainability pillars
People
Empowering Leaders in Energy through development, well-being, safety, fair opportunity, and inclusion across One Meralco.
Nurturing sustainability from within
The strength of Meralco lies in its people—the workforce that powers homes, communities, and industries. We are committed to building a resilient and inclusive organization where individuals thrive, contribute meaningfully, and grow with confidence. Through leadership development, technical excellence, and a culture of safety and belonging, we empower our people to be catalysts of progress in the evolving energy landscape.
Diversity and inclusion
#Mbrace Diversity and Inclusion
At Meralco, diversity, equity, inclusion, and belonging are essential to building a workplace where people thrive and grow with confidence.
Through our #Mbrace Diversity and Inclusion Program, we foster a culture anchored on respect, empowerment, and equal opportunity for all. Guided by the United Nations Sustainable Development Goals and UN Women’s Empowerment Principles, #Mbrace advances initiatives that strengthen gender balance, champion LGBTQ+ inclusion, and promote equal opportunities for persons with disabilities.
Women representation in our Distribution Utility workforce stands at 24%—almost double the global energy sector average. This progress reflects our commitment to challenging industry norms and creating pathways for broader representation. Beyond numbers, #Mbrace champions meaningful inclusion by cultivating a workplace where every employee is heard, respected, and empowered to succeed.
Orange Fit Program
The Orange Fit (OFIT) Program champions the holistic wellness of Meralco’s workforce.
To strengthen physical fitness, employees are encouraged to maximize gyms and sports facilities, join hobby and interest clubs, and participate in group exercise classes.
Equally, OFIT nurtures emotional, spiritual, and mental well-being through meditation guides and prayers, productivity practices such as Mindful Meetings, personal renewal through ME Time, and access to in-house counselors and medical experts. Together, these initiatives ensure that wellness is embedded into everyday work life, empowering employees to thrive both inside and outside the workplace.
