THE Department of
Energy (DOE) has bestowed 18 awards to SM for its campaign to utilize
electricity in the most efficient way, confirming its corporate juggernaut in
the recent 2016 Don Emilio Abello Energy Efficiency Awards.
The DOE cited SM for
its pioneering effort to instill the value of energy efficiency among its
commercial centers and offices, and installed SM as a Hall of Fame awardee
during ceremonies held at the Maxims Hotel in Resort World in Pasay City.
The Don Emilio Abello
Efficiency Awards was spearheaded by the DOE to recognize companies and energy
managers who have undertaken energy efficiency and conservation programs.
Energy Secretary Alfonso
G. Cusi said the 2016 awardees led by SM are worthy of emulation since they
contribute to the rational use of energy and promote environmental protection,
as well, for the best interest of the entire country.
“The entire DOE family
congratulates and holds in the highest esteem the recipients of this year’s Don
Emilio Abello Energy Efficiency Awards. They collectively represent the ideal
standard of excellence we want society to uphold, and we want others to emulate
and replicate in the fast-evolving field of energy efficiency and
conservation,” Cusi said.
Eight types of awards
were bestowed during the ceremonies: the Secretary’s Award; Hall of Fame Award;
Outstanding Award, which was given to firms that achieved energy efficiency by
at least 5 percent; Citation Award, for those that improved energy efficiency
by 3 percent or more, but less than 5 percent; Special Award for those that
raised efficiency by 1 percent or higher, but less than 3 percent; Indigenous
Award; Awards of Recognition; and Outstanding Energy Manager.
