AEV President and CEO Erramon I. Aboitiz led the opening of the Energy CEO Roundtable Discussion during the kick-off of the 12th Energy Ministers’ Meeting in Cebu last October 12. Using the theme “Sustainable and Resilient Energy for Inclusive Growth”, CEOs from across the Asia-Pacific region gathered to discuss measures that the private sector can contribute in order to achieve energy security and resiliency. The CEO Roundtable Discussion is part of the series of activities that happened during the country’s hosting of the Asia Pacific Economic Cooperation (APEC).
In his message, EIA discussed the role of the energy sector in contributing to sustained, inclusive growth and in building a better world using the PriceWaterhouseCoopers (PwC) research that outlined five key actions, namely: maximizing renewable energy potential, promoting resilient energy infrastructure, mobilizing partnerships for sustainable energy and energy efficiency, adopting clean technologies for energy security, and measures to facilitate investments and eliminate trade barriers.
