KFC Philippines solidified its billing as an ecology-friendly energy user in the country as its number of stores with solar panel-mounted rooftops already reached 64.
With the estimated annual power generation of more than 2.6 million kilowatthour or kWh from the solar panel (photovoltaic) systems installed on 64 KFC facilities, this game-changing initiative of KFC has now lowered its CO2 (carbon dioxide) emission by 606,164 kilogram, well ahead of its peers in the QSR industry.
“We are committed to our journey toward sustainable growth and being model stewards to the environment, which is why we really walk our talk when it comes to planet-friendly initiatives. Aside from ramping up our solar panel project, we also pioneered the use of e-bikes for delivery in several branches while also shifting to more sustainable packaging,” said KFC Philippines general manager Maria Judith Marcelo.
KFC Philippines’ target is to have 80 stores with solar panel-mounted rooftops by the end of 2023. It ended 2022 with 47 solar-powered branches.
