Pilmico Animal Nutrition Corporation was recognized for its excellence in feed mill and farm operations at the Livestock Philippines 2023 last July 5 at World Trade Center in Metro Manila.
Pilmico’s feed mills received the “Excellent Performance in Commercial Feedmill for Swine and Poultry,” while Pilmico’s Farms division accepted the “Environment-Friendly Corporation” award for its sustainable practices. Some of their practices include a wastewater management system wherein the farms’ by-products are treated to be recycled, which helps prevent pollution and odors.
The event was organized by Informa Markets and supported by the Department of Agriculture (DA). Guest of Honor was President Ferdinand Marcos Jr. and Sen. Cynthia Villar who heads the Senate Committee on Agriculture and Food Chairperson . Representatives of the DA led the recognition, including Senior Undersecretary Domingo Panganiban and Assistant Secretary Engr. Arnel De Mesa

This recognition definitely motivates us further to continue fostering excellence in our products, services, and operations.

With Norie to accept the award and represent Pilmico were Carlos Gerle (Farm Operations Technical Director), Cleo Flores (VP for Quality, Safety, Health, Environment, and Process), and Christy Gawidan (Senior Supervisor for Safety and Environment).
“We thank the organization for recognizing our efforts to become a more environmentally friendly and sustainable institution. We know we still have a long way to go, but we’re proud of the steps we’ve taken to reduce our environmental impact, and this award is a confirmation that we are on the right track,” added Carlos.
