McDonald’s Philippines is stepping up its sustainability efforts after tapping Shell Energy Philippines to supply renewable electricity for selected store operations under a new clean energy arrangement.
The partnership covers a pilot rollout that allows the fast-food chain to source power from renewable energy for some of its highest-energy-consuming branches. The initiative is part of the government’s Green Energy Option Program (GEOP), which enables large electricity users to directly choose renewable energy suppliers.
McDonald’s said the move supports its broader sustainability roadmap, as it continues to explore ways to reduce its environmental footprint while maintaining efficient store operations nationwide.
Pilot Rollout Covers High-Energy Stores
Under the initial phase, six McDonald’s stores with the highest electricity consumption are being supplied with renewable energy through Shell Energy Philippines. The program is expected to be expanded to more branches depending on eligibility and operational readiness.
The initiative is implemented under a retail electricity framework that allows large commercial consumers to choose their power suppliers, giving companies more flexibility in managing energy costs and sustainability targets.
Shell Energy Philippines, which serves a growing number of commercial and industrial clients, said the partnership reflects rising corporate demand for cleaner and more flexible energy solutions in the country.
