VISION G4-1, G4-56

We are the leading water solutions company in the Philippines with a strong presence across Asia.

MISSIONWe provide safe, affordable, and sustainable water solutions that enable those we serve to lead healthier, more comfortable lives. THEME AND COVER

The Sustainability Report looks at Maynilad as a whole and digs deeper through what the numbers convey. The water-themed title conveys a feeling that one is about to take a closer, more insightful look into the company.

The title is also fitting for the content of the report, which is to highlight the value and impacts that Maynilad provides the general public, making it a company that does more than just provide water. It also aligns with the Annual Report’s theme, From Basic Utility to Water Solutions Company, and aims to reach more milestones while building on past successes. This report will bridge the gap between Maynilad and the reader by showing that indeed, “higit sa tubig ang aming serbisyo.”

ABOUT: GRI The Global Reporting Initiative (GRI) G4 Sustainability Reporting Guidelines is our primary guide in preparing this report. GRI™ is an independent international organization that has pioneered corporate sustainability reporting since 1997.

Universal access to clean water and sanitation is a theme than runs throughout Maynilad’s operations and sustainability agenda. It also runs through our country’s systemic problems, as well as a new set of UN Development Goals.

Achieving access to healthcare for all, for instance, and improved education, infrastructure, and even to basic social services-all these rely on an efficient and sustainable water network to be truly responsive to the needs of all Filipinos.

It is against this developmental backdrop and deep concern for our entire country’s well-being that we now review our past accomplishments and the hurdles we continued to face in this 2015 Sustainability Report.

To start on a high note, I congratulate everyone at Maynilad for a job well done in 2015. Despite our reduced production for this year because of El Niño, we still achieved a total billed volume of more than 481 billion liters, surpassing our target by more than 1 billion liters. Our consolidated revenues from water and sewer services,

meanwhile, are up by 3.8 percent at P18.7 billion compared to the previous year.

Also, despite losing P5.6 billion in revenues because of the delay in awarding the arbitral case decision which we rightfully won, we continued on the correct path toward greater customer-centered service.

MESSAGE FROM OUR

CHAIRMAN G4-1

Balancing Challenges with Opportunities

While it seems that we still face many roadblocks—going deeper into the daily business of our company, we find at the heart of it all our employees, who provide the animating spirit of innovation, heightened productivity and fair play that now motivate everyone in our company to greater efficiencies.

Page 5: BENEATH THE SURFACE - Maynilad Water Services · BENEATH THE SURFACE 11 among public hospitals, schools, health centers, and community hubs. We also ... success as you man the helm

collectively hit a very efficient 1.70 persons per thousand connections productivity index.

Given these high rates of productivity and engagement, I wish to congratulate our outgoing president, Mr. Victorico Vargas, for leading by example and inspiring our people to achieve over and beyond what is required.

I also welcome Mr. Ramoncito Fernandez, formerly the president and CEO of our Metro Pacific Tollways Corporation, who will be Maynilad’s new president and CEO. Mr. Fernandez’s sterling track record in enlarging our tollways company will surely boost the advances we have already made here at Maynilad. eneath the SuBeneath the Surface

Our theme for this year’s report, Beneath the Surface, aptly sums up the true spirit of entrepreneurship that prevails throughout Maynilad today.

We are entering a more challenging phase in our transformation into a total water solutions company. We are now pushing for more organic growth outside the West Zone and further marketing our services for trainings in twinning programs with

organizations overseas. We are also now serving as technical consultants of Metropac Water Investments Corporation, MPIC’s lead investor for water projects outside the Greater Manila Area. All these advancements are being done to increase our overall enterprise value on our way to going public and listing our shares at the PSE.

While it seems that we still face many roadblocks—going deeper into the daily business of our company, we find at the heart of it all our employees, who provide the animating spirit of innovation, heightened productivity and fair play that now motivate everyone in our company to greater efficiencies.

We are still faced with complex challenges, but by holding our social license to operate in the highest regard and given a supportive and conducive regulatory environment, I firmly believe that we can truly deliver more solutions to more Filipinos and international partners at a greater scale.

MANUEL V. PANGILINANChairman

In the midst of this prolonged tariff adjustment case, we even recalibrated our key success metric by prioritizing customer satisfaction over billed volume. While the upward tariff adjustment was implemented at a net average of P1.35 per cubic meter, we will still actively pursue further arbitration to uphold what we believe is the correct rebasing adjustment amount to cushion our customers from heavier tariffs and our shareholders from unwarranted pressure.

Strategic and Deft

Maynilad faced all these challenges head-on, but with a highly strategic and deft business mindset, coupled with a high regard for our communities and our environment.

As a result, we still exceeded our 93.1 percent service coverage target and now serve 9.2 million people in our concession areas. Moreover, around 1.3 million people are now covered by our sewerage network (a 20 percent increase) and 4.1 million are covered by our sanitation services (a 59 percent increase).

In addition, TUV Rheinland Philippines conferred a company-wide ISO certification on Maynilad, making us

the Philippine company with the most number of ISO certificates for multiple sites.

This strict audit process for our Integrated Management System was conducted by the international certifying body, which confirmed that we meet global standards for Quality Management Systems, Environmental Management Systems, and Occupational Safety and Health Management Systems. This is an important testament to the greater efficiency and productivity that is now prevalent throughout our company.

Outstanding Employee Engagement

All this success can only be attributed to our employees, each and every one of you who continue to embody our values.

Your dedication, your hard work, your perseverance and great faith in the company that we keep—all these are evident in the high engagement score of 93 percent that we achieved through the most recent employee engagement survey conducted by Towers Watson. This achievement exceeds the country’s average by a significant 7 percent. Because of the strong collaborative spirit that is now at work in Maynilad, we also

Our victories over the last year, however, did not come without major challenges. The year 2015 greatly tested our resiliency and ability to quickly think on our feet as one of the harshest El Niños took place in the fourth quarter of this year. We also had to realign a large pipeline to give way to a government flood-control program in Manila. These untoward events significantly affected our ability to deliver regular water services in some areas of our concession for a few months.

Moreover, we were prepared to disburse P9.4 billion in capital expenditures (CAPEX), but there are shortfalls and difficulties in acquiring lots for our new sewage treatment plants (STPs), including right of way issues. These have prevented us from investing in more infrastructure. In order to achieve the CAPEX disbursements, we are doing a catch up program in order to meet the targets.

As we look back on our past year’s journey toward sustainability, I am heartened to report that our improved management and governance systems are firmly in place, and our large-scale investments to revitalize Maynilad have resulted in some of our best sustainability results in recent years.

This brings us closer, more than ever, to our vision of becoming a leading water solutions company in the Philippines with an equally strong presence across the Asian region.

MESSAGE FROM OUR

PRESIDENT G4-2

With such encouragement and support, and with our upward indexes in employee engagement, productivity, and efficiency, I am confident that we will continue to surpass the headways we have already made.

Page 7: BENEATH THE SURFACE - Maynilad Water Services · BENEATH THE SURFACE 11 among public hospitals, schools, health centers, and community hubs. We also ... success as you man the helm

BENEATH THE SURFACE 11

among public hospitals, schools, health centers, and community hubs. We also highlighted the importance of disaster risk reduction and calamity relief when our services are needed the most.

The strides we have made toward development, sustainability and a stronger international presence have garnered more attention this year, notably from the ASEAN Corporate Sustainability Awards, the Global CSR Summit and Awards, and the WaterLinks Awards, where our Twinning Partnership with Nepal’s Department of Water Supply and Sewerage won in the Outcomes Based on Impact Category.

With such encouragement and support, and with our upward indexes in employee engagement, productivity, and efficiency, I am confident that we will continue to surpass the headways we have already made.

Ultimately, our improved overall customer satisfaction rating of 2.99 over 4.00 is our most inspiring accomplishment for this year. This shows that we are now ready and well on our way to becoming a total

water solutions provider, not only in the West Zone of Metro Manila, but also in other emerging markets overseas. To keep up with this fast-pace of growth, we will catch up on our CAPEX commitments by investing P13.6 billion in 2016, a considerable portion of which will be allocated to our sewerage programs to widen the reach of our wastewater services and meet our service obligations.

In closing, I wish to extend, on behalf of all the people behind Maynilad, our heartfelt welcome to our new president and CEO, Ramoncito Fernandez. I am confident that this company will be much stronger with your determined brand of leadership and unassailable integrity. I wish you all the success as you man the helm at Maynilad.

VICTORICO P. VARGASPresident and Chief Executive Officer

Despite these challenges, we were still able to surpass most of our economic and sustainability targets. We constructed an STP in Quezon City and a septage treatment plant (SpTP) in Las Piñas. We brought down non-revenue water (NRW) to 31 percent, which is beyond our target.

In addition, our total billed volume and the number of our new customers and connections also continued to rise, proving that our concerted efforts over the last years had already resulted in enhanced customer satisfaction and trust.

On the environmental front, we continued to work double time to minimize the impact of our operations on our physical ecosystems. Our Scope 1 emissions increased by 11 percent and our Scope 2 emissions increased by 17 percent as we expanded the scope of our operations while ensuring that the water our customers receive are safe and delivered reliably. This entails using energy-intensive technologies.

To further offset our carbon footprint (GHG), we planted 30,000 mangrove seedlings in Cavite and are on our way

to calculate the baseline carbon stock. We also stepped up our watershed management drives by planting an additional 64,100 native saplings at our primary water source at the Ipo Watershed.

Notably, we also recovered 8 billion liters of wastewater and prevented 8.5 million kilograms of pollution from entering our water bodies. This was made possible by our stronger greywater and blackwater treatment systems and a heightened appreciation among our employees for our environmental systems.

Our enlarged and more streamlined operations also resulted in improved social benefits for our stakeholders and communities. We generated 17,455 man-hours of employment for more small businesses and local suppliers. In the realm of social development and community relations, we continued to invest millions of pesos in various developmental programs, especially those aligned with our immediate business concerns. These include more targeted efforts to promote the importance of WAter Sanitation and Hygiene (WASH)

13

In addition, aligning our targets with global sustainability goals is integral to our continued expansion if we are to move beyond our traditional business borders and become a full-line water solutions company with a truly global reach.

As a unified whole, we are now therefore stepping up our efforts to ensure water security and availability not only locally

but also in other developing countries where we have established twinning programs.

From a management and engineering perspective, we continue to firmly comply with PNSDW standards and are enforcing more rigorous benchmarks to improve the water and sanitation coverage in and outside our concession areas.

Well aware that water and sanitation are at the core of sustainable development, Maynilad reaffirmed its commitment to uphold everyone’s right to water with the launch of the UN Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) last year.

Increased economic activity, the growth of poor communities, a healthier ecosystem—all these and most, if not all, of the UN SDGs cannot be attained without first ensuring that access to clean water and sanitation is significantly improved for all.

MESSAGE FROM THE

INTEGRATED MANAGEMENT SYSTEMSREPRESENTATIVE

Aligning our targets with global sustainability goals is integral to our continued expansion if we are to move beyond our traditional business borders and become a full-line water solutions company with a truly global reach.

Page 9: BENEATH THE SURFACE - Maynilad Water Services · BENEATH THE SURFACE 11 among public hospitals, schools, health centers, and community hubs. We also ... success as you man the helm

BENEATH THE SURFACE 15

From planning to execution, we are also pursuing stricter targets in building a more robust water infrastructure to boost economic growth in the Philippines. This will not only ensure Maynilad’s sustainability as a profitable business, but will also support a more economically productive and healthier Philippine population.

In terms of innovation, we have pioneered WSP in the country and are now piloting a sanitation safety plan in Quezon City. Our WSP details Maynilad’s programs and procedures for ensuring the safety of our water supply at every step from source to customer. Our SSP, meanwhile, strives to identify, quantify and mitigate all possible risks at various stages of production associated with exposure of our water supply to sewage and septage, as well as effluent and dried biosolids.

We have also taken further steps to conserve the Angat and Ipo watersheds with various stakeholders, such as our local governments and indigenous peoples. We pursue these programs in tandem with our efforts to reduce the pollution that enters Manila’s waterways.

All these initiatives and enhancements are being done under the closer watch of a more cohesive management

system, which now drives us to greater productivity and efficiency. As a testament to our commitment to further improve our operational systems towards new heights of efficiency, we have added to our growing list of ISO certifications for a company-wide IMS for quality, safety and health. Next year, we will be measuring the carbon stock baseline of our mangroves in Cavite under the Plant for Life program to jumpstart our journey towards carbon neutrality. In fact, we have reduced the fuel consumption per vehicle to 482 kg CO2e per vehicle from 3,774 kg CO2e per vehicle last year.

The road toward a highly methodical and ultimately more efficient and sustainable operating system at Maynilad is now well within our reach. With everyone’s continued support and hard work, I am confident we will be taking even greater strides in the coming years.

Our Materiality Framework* G4-19, G4-20, G4-21

* All focus areas are material both internally and externally.

To deliver on our refreshed brand promise to go beyond water provision and become a total water solutions company with a strong emphasis on customer engagement, we identify in this section, the key material aspects of our operations and way forward.

Our key material aspects were derived from our 5-Point Strategy for Growth, our Mission and Vision statement, and our Quality, Environment, Safety, and Health (QESH) Management Framework as references.

This year, we elevated lowering our ecological footprint as a main focus area. In the previous report, this was treated as an implicit must-have within the other focus areas. However, with our alignment with the UN SDGs which include goals on touching on the environment such as Goals 6, 13, 14, and 15 and commitment to international standards on environmental management, energy management, and greenhouse gas reporting, managing our impacts on the environment is brought into the forefront.

Validation

Review

We used Maynilad’s Mission and Vision, 2012’s Materiality Framework, our QESH Management Framework, and GRI G4 Indicators as takeoff points. Maynilad also looked at different environmental and social contexts that are shaping our business environment today.

Different departments were asked to look at their KPIs and Impacts from a shared value perspective. A few key focus areas (material aspects) were chosen based on their inputs and the stakeholder concerns needed for Maynilad to deliver its value proposition. Enablers were also identified that provide a viable environment for our focus areas.

The material aspects or key focus areas were brought to Maynilad’s management for their acceptance or comments. The management checked the relevance of the material aspects as it applies to various stages of our operations.

With the launch of the UN SDGs, we took a look at our materiality framework and aligned these further to the UN goals that we could contribute on through our core business, primarily SDG 6 (Clean Water and Sanitation).

Global consumption of fresh water has grown at more than twice the rate of the world’s population growth over the last century. In the Philippines, pressure on limited fresh water resources is mounting due to overpopulation, economic growth and pollution.1

It is paramount for our continued viability as a business to support all measures that guarantee the best possible management of our water resources. At Maynilad, we are committed to ensuring the sustained supply of fresh water for generations of Filipinos to come where we operate most of our business lines.

largest membrane-based water treatment

plant, which pioneers the use of large-scale

microfiltration and reverse osmosis. PWTP

has a design capacity of 100 MLD.

In addition, we are supporting the

construction of a diversion tunnel to

supplement the water coming from

Umiray River going to the Angat-Ipo

reservoir. Through the Common Purpose

Facility (CPF), a company established

together with MWSS and Manila Water to

operate Ipo Dam, a P748.73 million project

was undertaken to increase the flow of

creeks and rivers into Ipo Dam.

We also sparingly extract from groundwater

sources through deep wells to provide

much-needed services to people who would

otherwise have no access to water.

We have seven operational deep wells but

we used 11 during the year in our North

and South districts. This contributed about

4.55 million MLD of water to parts of

North Caloocan, Cavite, and Muntinlupa.

Well aware of the potential harmful

impacts of withdrawing groundwater

for commercial use, we are working

actively to build a more extensive

surface-water network to further reduce

our groundwater use and minimize our

environmental impacts. Once we have the

necessary infrastructure to supply surface

water to these communities, the deepwells

will not be operated anymore and will only

be maintained as standby water sources in

times of water scarcity. A detailed status of

our deepwells is found in Annex A.

Our water withdrawal and production rates

are mainly a function of customer demand

and our delivery rate is in response to this.

Our primary supply of water comes from

Angat Dam, transmitted through Ipo Dam,

and then treated at our two La Mesa plants,

namely La Mesa Treatment Plants 1 and

2 or LMTP 1 and LMTP 2. LMTP 1 is a

conventional-type plant with a maximum

design capacity of 1,500 million liters

pulsator-type plant with a design capacity

of 900 MLD.

Water Withdrawal and Production IN MILLION LITERS

Raw water withdrawal increased by 5

percent from 2014 to 2015. In particular,

withdrawal from Laguna Lake through

PWTP increased by 62 percent.

Our production increased by 6 percent

from 2014, primarily because of

business expansion drives and the

increase in number of customers.

Notably, production at PWTP marked

a considerable increase of 64 percent

compared to the previous year as

a result of our capacity and design

improvements.

In 2014, PWTP underproduced due

to poor and inconsistent quality of

lakewater as a result of high ammonia

content, high dissolved solids, and

unsatisfactory taste and odor from

algal bloom. PWTP’s original design

was not enough to treat the varying

water quality of the lake. Thus, we are

improving PWTP’s design to enable it

to produce according to requirements

in the southern part of the concession

area. This will increase the plant’s

capacity from 100 MLD to 150 MLD

when completed. Since April 2015, some

improvements were already in place,

which led to the increase in production.

PWTP’s production is significantly

determined by the lakewater quality

as well as the status of the project

implementation of the enhancements.

Our overall delivery rate or production/

withdrawal, meanwhile, reached 97.06

percent, a slight increase in efficiency

from 2014.

incurred through membrane washing and

use of reverse osmosis.

Backwash water at LMTP 1 is conveyed

and stored in four lagoons, while

backwash water at LMTP 2 is conveyed to

the recovery tanks, which is immediately

recovered for another cycle of treatment.

There was a significant decrease in losses

for LMTP 1 and 2 from 2014 to 2015

because of the staggered completion of

our sludge dredging and hauling project at

the four lagoons from April 2015 onwards.

With the dredging of the lagoons, the

storage capacity was restored to nearly its

original level. Only limited scouring during

the recovery period was noted, which gave

good quality to recovered water in terms of

turbidity.

Recovered washwater in PWTP is

mixed along with newly withdrawn

water from the lake and treated together.

Separate recording of both raw lakewater

withdrawal and washwater is currently not

available.

have, so far, planted 64,100 indigenous

seedlings at the Ipo Watershed with the

help of 1,682 participants. Some of these

native species include narra (Pterocarpus

antipolo (Artocarpus blancoi).

Watersheds are geographic areas through

which water flows across the land and

drains into a common body of water, such

as rivers, lakes, and oceans.

The Ipo Watershed and its forests—part

of our watershed system that supplies

around 97 percent of Metro Manila’s water

requirements—span an area of around

6,000 hectares and are some of our most

important natural assets.

Beyond the delivery of water, Maynilad

actively works to ensure that our

water sources are well managed and

environmentally protected and conserved

starting from the very source. As such,

we follow strict land-use and water-

management practices to improve the

quality of the water and other natural

resources within our watersheds.

Recognizing that trees are indispensable

in the sustainability of watersheds, and

therefore the water supply, the Plant

Expecting El Niño to persist until 2016, the National Water Resources Board cut allocations for domestic use in Metro Manila from 41 cubic meters per second (CMS) in August to 38 CMS in September 2015.

This considerably hampered Maynilad’s ability to extend regular services to 56 percent of its customers, or 900 barangays in the West zone, during the third quarter of 2015.

Our Response

Ignoring El Niño has never been an option for Maynilad. This recurring weather phenomenon reinforces our belief in the importance of our water sustainability and environmental advocacy—a responsibility that we prioritize as we do our bottom line.

Since Metro Pacific and DMCI took control of Maynilad in 2007, we have spent over P4.23 billion in building a redundant water supply system: 24 reservoirs with a total capacity of almost 600 million liters.

In 2015, we focused our efforts on maximizing supply and cushioning our customers from El Niño’s impact. We implemented system adjustments and extended the operating hours of our pumping stations to make sure that our clients would not have to go through a day without water.

We implemented self-imposed conservation measures to preserve Angat Dam, resulting in low water pressures and rotating service interruptions starting on September 16. We quickly resumed regular

services in October after rains brought by Typhoon Lando temporarily increased Angat Dam’s water supply. But as reserves again declined, we resumed the scheme and then implemented pressure management instead of interruptions.

Surpassing Targets

Despite all these challenges and restrictions, our billed volume and revenues went up, along with other key performance indicators. This was boosted by our campaign to reduce water loss or nonrevenue water (NRW). From 53 percent in 2010, our NRW is at 31 percent as of December 2015. This translates to over 400 MLD of recovered water that the company can deliver to its customers. Beyond the investments and measures that we now have firmly in place, Maynilad also organized a task force to prepare and plan for mitigating solutions in the event that a stronger El Niño occurs.

Further Steps

We expect El Niño to become a recurring challenge. We will continue to invest in building new reservoirs for enhanced water storage capacity. We will also continue to pursue our reforestation program and reach out to more schools, communities, and institutional partners to strongly advocate responsible water use.Long after this drought ends, Maynilad will continue to work for water security through strategic investments, sound long-term planning, and water preparedness drives and innovations.

Characterized by warming ocean temperatures bringing rains to the Americas and drought to Asia, the El Niño weather phenomenon in 2015 was one of the worst Southeast Asia experienced in over 60 years.

In the Philippines, El Niño intensified in the last quarter of 2015, causing a severe dry spell and a significant reduction in water reserves at the Angat Dam.

responsive, and economically supportive, especially to those who still lack access to clean and potable water services.

Our continued investments in water infrastructure, the quality of our water supplies, and our discounted rates for poor communities are all testaments to our new corporate mantra of putting customers first over billed volume as our key success metric.

> PROVIDING ACCESS TO SAFE, POTABLE AND AFFORDABLE WATER

Maynilad’s imperative to improve access to water and bring about greater sanitation and health among our communities is central to our long-term growth.

While we are a private company, our business is directly related to a key social good, and so we grow our business in tandem with our mission to expand the social and environmental dimensions of our services.

To this end, we continue to refurbish and expand our infrastructure and water-lines in a manner that is environmentally sound, socially

Water Delivery: Facts and Figures

In 2015, we continued to surpass our targets in water delivery. We now have a 93.7 percent service area coverage, up by 2 percent from 91.6 percent in 2014, and surpassing our 2015 target of 93.1 percent. We laid 117 kilometers of new pipelines, bringing our total pipe network to 7,575 kilometers. A detailed list of water coverage is found in Annex C.

We likewise hit our 2015 target of 9.2 million people served from 8.9 million in 2014. As a result, we also exceeded our billed volume target of 480.17 million cubic meters for 2015 by delivering a total of 481.53 million cubic meters of water for this reporting year.

with no water supply or low pressure as of December 2013. These will also address increasing demand in the area.

In the South Area, particularly in Cavite, we have substantially covered most of our pipe-laying work at Daang Hari Extension in Imus. We have also now covered around 73 percent of construction work at Epza and Magdiwang Highway, and completed around 49 percent of our work along Centennial Road in Kawit.

Our figures in the south are slightly below our targets as various external factors beyond our control considerably hampered our expected efficiencies. These include our limited working time as imposed by local governments due to traffic congestion; right of way concerns at the NIA Road/Bridge Crossings; and port congestion issues that affected the delivery of our pipes from overseas.

Nevertheless, we will profit from experience and continue to find innovative ways to work around these road blocks to our expansion drives. A list of our big ticket projects for water delivery are found in Annex D.

P1.5 B Capital expenditures for non-revenue water

Our excellent performance in water delivery was considerably boosted by our distribution expansion and upgrade programs.

For this reporting year, Maynilad allocated around P1.35 billion in capital expenditures for NRW and service expansion programs. We also posted an average time of 53 days per kilometer of pipe laid, which allowed us to serve more people and decrease inconveniences.

We are heartened by the completion of our In-line Booster in Novaliches-Valenzuela worth P36.2 million; our Alazap Booster project in Las Piñas worth P138.2 million;

and our 4.22- kilometer Commonwealth Primary Pipelaying program worth P238.4 million. These will improve water reliability and pressure to more than 9,000 service connections.

In the North Area, we also completed our 2.85 kilometer construction of a 1,200 mm diameter discharge line at the North A Annex Pumping Station worth P276.48 million, and finished the 2.68 kilometer pipelaying of a 700 mm diameter line along Quirino Highway worth P144.8 million. These projects will improve water pressure and supply for 31 percent of residents in the North Caloocan Business Area who still experienced hours

Water Quality G4-14

We make sure that the water that we treat is safe for drinking. We subscribe to the standards and principles of the Philippine National Standards for Drinking Water (PNSDW). Classified as a Level III supplier of drinking water (waterworks system or individual house category), we are required to have a minimum base of 939 samples. The samples are analyzed for physico-chemical parameters, heavy metals, organic compounds, as well as radiological elements, pesticide residues, and disinfection by-products. Any non-complying results are forwarded to the head of the concerned plant as well

as to the Environmental Management Department of Maynilad for their appropriate action. Additionally, data gathered by our laboratory are reported to the DENR via Maynilad’s biannual Environmental Compliance Certificate (ECC) Monitoring Report. This year, there were some instances where color and odor limits (not health-based under PNSDW) breached the requirements for PWTP since our facilities for improving these are still under the commission and proving stage. Water from LMTP 1 and LMTP 2 are all compliant. Some results of our 2015 data gathering are found in Annex E.

NRW Reduction

delivery network in Manila, especially

its oldest districts such as Malabon,

Tondo and Sampaloc. We are strategically

pursuing this program in stages owing to

the massive work that is required.

Our ultimate goal is to bring NRW down

to 20 percent by the current end date of

our concessions with MWSS in 2037.

We have already made considerable

headway in reducing NRW over the past

few years and again surpassed our targets

for 2015 as we allocated P1.98 billion of

CAPEX for this.

It costs us P20 million to bring NRW down

by a million liters each day.

Our NRW reduction figure is now at

an all-time low of 31 percent, down by

3 percentage points from 2014. This is

beyond the target of 32 percent that we

had set before the start of the year. We

attribute this decrease to our sustained

focus on pipe rehabilitation (which

includes the replacement of asbestos

cement pipes) and the prompt monitoring

and repair of pipe leakages and inaccurate

meters.

MLD MLD MLD

PROGRESS ON NRW REDUCTION

Chronic water loss has been a big challenge

in our concession area before the Metro

Pacific consortium took over Maynilad.

The water network in Manila’s west zone

are referred to as “legacy pipes,” or among

Asia’s oldest pipe network, therefore

heavily prone to ruptures and breakages.

The loss of millions of cubic meters of

treated water—as well as millions of pesos

in social investments because of leaks,

theft, or metering inefficiencies—is a very

serious concern at Maynilad.

When our consortium took over the

management of the company in 2007,

our NRW was pegged at 66 percent of

our total water production—a staggering

1,500 MLD of potable water lost that

could have benefitted millions of people.

These massive losses were a result of

decades of deterioration and lack of

immediate action.

In response, we immediately launched an

NRW program that is one of the largest in

the world in terms of coverage and cost.

Maynilad allocated a total of US$ 1.07

billion or 52 percent of our total capital

expenditures from the start to the end of

our concession agreement for this cause.

This huge investment represents our full

commitment to rehabilitating the water

BENEATH THE SURFACE 57

Massive Meter Replacement

In support of our NRW drive, we also focus

on replacing faulty meters to achieve correct

meter sizing relative to true consumption.

We have a massive meter replacement

(MMR) program in place using our

Integrated Meter Management system. On

average, each meter has a five-year lifespan.

Leaks Reported and Repaired

In 2015, there were 53,207 leaks reported.

However, due to double reporting and

based from actual investigation, this

translates only to a total of 27,628 actual

leaks. All these leaks were repaired,

translating to a 100 percent resolution

rate. The significant decrease in the total

number of leaks repaired for this year is

a good development, as it proves that our

rehabilitation programs over the previous

years have already resulted in a healthier

systems management at Maynilad.

Using the latest audio and video

equipment, such as acoustic listening sticks

and CCTV-equipped drogues, for systems

monitoring over a 3,692-kilometer length

of pipe network, we are able to respond

to new leaks at an average of 1.67 days,

thereby ensuring the prolonged health of

our pipelines.

Massive Meter Replacement

Pipes Replaced

Over the past year, we managed to

increase our pipe replacement output

by 38.24 percent. This represents a

considerable area and distance in our

concession or a total of 235 kilometers of

weak and faulty pipes that are now fully

rehabilitated.

Pipe rehabilitation is one of our priority

programs and so we intend to maintain

our focus on this concern, particularly

in areas that still have a high volume of

NRW or frequently report pipe bursts or

leakages.

In prioritizing areas in our concession

for pipe rehabilitation, we consider the

age of pipes, layers of pavement, and

encroachment within property as key

factors.

Primary Leaks Repaired

We define primary leaks as those from

pipes that are larger than 300 mm in

diameter. There is a decreasing trend

in this metric over the past years

because of our constant and active leak

detection system. We have covered 279

kilometers of primary pipes in our regular

monitoring with a 95 percent hit rate,

reaching our targets of 253 kilometers and

95 percent, respectively.

approach for our company to thrive.

In this regard, the sustained social values

of our services—our brand reputation,

the satisfaction of our customers, their

continued health and well-being—are all

essential to the success of our business

model as both a utility and a public trust.

In 2015, we thus boldly refreshed our

brand to signal the prevailing shift in

mindset of our business from a water

production and delivery service to a

To further our operational efficiencies,

we subscribe to ISO 9001:2008 which

focuses on quality management

principles and continuous improvement

in all aspects of our operations. A

complete list of our ISO accreditation is

found in Annex F.

As a water utility, our primary and largest

source of revenues come from customer

sales and the projected constant rise in

demand for our services. Given these

premises and the huge amounts of

delighted that we have achieved this score

as we beefed up our CSR and customer

programs and built better relationships

with our customers. We now consider this

metric, along with other targets on service

obligations, as the primary benchmarks of

our growth, rather than billed volume.

To further improve the service-orientation

of our employees and their approach to

customer care, our Human Resources

Learning and Development Department

launched “8 Key Steps to Service

Excellence.” This training program and set

of concise guidelines serve to standardize

our customer-relations efforts, especially

among frontliners, customers relations

specialists, and customer management

officers.

Next year, all Maynilad employees,

even those who do not interact directly

with clients, will go through this training

program. Our aim is to imbibe a spirit of

service among all Maynilad personnel until

this heightened focus on service becomes

synonymous with the Maynilad brand.

Water Pressure Increase

To reach customers living on higher

floors, we have worked to increase water

pressure in many areas of our concession.

This has resulted in a marked increase of

customers, especially those in lower areas,

who are enjoying a water pressure of up

to 16 psi. This year, all of our customers

received a water pressure of at least 7 psi

and we implemented measures so that

most of them will receive at least 18 psi.

We are now targeting that 100 percent of

our customers will receive a minimum of

16 psi by 2016.

more flexibility in managing and settling

their accounts. It also improves our

operational efficiency since customers are

able to report possible inaccuracies in their

statements ahead of time, thereby allowing

us to promptly resolve complaints.

Our online billing service was launched

through the My Water Bill program. We

intensified capturing customers’ contact

details and enrolled them through a

Water Safety Plan

At the very core of our business is the

quality of water that we supply to millions

of people. None of our other business

metrics matter if we are unable to ensure

the cleanest and safest possible water

supply for all our customers.

As soon as Metro Pacific took control of

the Maynilad concession in 2007, the

company introduced a Water Safety Plan

(WSP)—the first of its kind in the country

and a continuing source of pride and

inspiration for all of us in Maynilad.

Maynilad now follows WSP in every step

of the water cycle—from abstraction,

to delivery and treatment, to corrective

actions in the event of a water

contamination, whether from microbial,

chemical, or physical causes.

Maynilad has already implemented

various corrective programs as a result of

WSP. Filter beds have been rehabilitated,

a new sluice gate has been installed, and

new facilities that address the presence of

ammonia, iron and manganese have been

created, among many other initiatives.

WSP is now fully ingrained in the

management system of Maynilad. It has

also been used as a model by various

stakeholder groups, such as the World

Health Organization (WHO) and the

Department of Health (DOH).

In fact, the DOH recently used WSP as a

benchmark in its seminars and trainings

across the country to encourage other

companies and water districts to create

their own safety plans. WHO, meanwhile,

cited Maynilad’s WSP program as a model

in its Training Workbook on Water Safety

Plans for Urban Systems.

We thus implement our wastewater program through strategic and comprehensive initiatives that integrate water resource management with waste management, environmental stewardship, and human health issues, among a host of other important concerns.

Moreover, we are constantly looking for the best system for treating wastewater as increased efficiencies in wastewater treatment translates to greater profit for all our stakeholders and shareholders. We include stakeholder participation, public education in sewerage and sanitation, innovative and clean technologies, and greater financing for wastewater management in our strategies toward improving our wastewater systems.

WASTE WATER TREATMENT

> TREATING WASTEWATERAt Maynilad, we recognize that wastewater management goes beyond a series of correct steps and procedures. Our wastewater program aims for the sustained and longer-term growth not only of our business but more so of the environment and the communities that we serve.

Around 80 percent of the potable water consumed by customers becomes wastewater. If untreated, this wastewater will pollute receiving bodies of water with harmful pathogens that will, in turn, adversely affect public health.

Sanitation Coverage MapOur Services

Since 2007, Maynilad has constructed an additional 16 facilities to boost our capacity to handle wastewater. We now have 19 sewage treatment plants (STPs) and two septage treatment plants (SpTP) that treat our customers’ wastewater.

These STPs are capable of treating 540,917,000 liters (540,917 cubic meters) per day. See Annex H for a complete list of STPs and their receiving bodies.

Through these plants and sewer network systems, we extend wastewater services by collecting, treating, and properly disposing domestic wastewater from homes and industries. Areas that are not yet reached by our sewer lines avail of our sanitation services or septic tank desludging.

To further improve our sanitation services, we completed our Alabang-Zapote SpTP, a 500 cubic meter per day (CMD) facility, which began operating in 2016.

length of sewer lines

The conveyance systems for the three new STPs we constructed in 2015 increased the length of our sewer lines by 5 kilometers, resulting in an increased sewerage coverage in the West Zone.

We constructed sewer lines at a rate of 87 days per kilometer.

sewage treatment plants capacity

From 16 STPs in 2014, an additional 3 STPs with a total capacity of 23,317,000 liters per day became operational in 2015, resulting in an increase of our sewerage coverage. Our STPs provide a menu of technological options to suit each respective area of coverage. This offers Maynilad the ability to operate different treatment process enabling enrichment of employees’ competency and skills.

Sewerage Coverage

For every 1 percent increase in coverage, we are able to approximately serve an additional 100,000 people. With this basic ratio in mind, we strive to generate the P1.40 billion CAPEX needed for every 1 percent incremental increase. For this year, we have allotted P2.02 billion for our wastewater program and seek to raise as much investments as possible to reach 100 percent sewerage coverage.

Aside from financing and stronger shareholder investments, we are confronted with other challenges, like land acquisition for our STPs.

Such can be a delicate matter, owing to the difficulty of finding suitable locations with enough land areas for facilities that treat wastewater.

In spite of the challenges, our sewerage coverage, or the total number of people connected to our sewer systems, increased by 20 percent from 2014 to 2015. We were able to achieve our 2015 target of 14 percent with the same value.

However, our projected figures show that we will be behind our 2016 target of 27 percent coverage due to complexities in acquiring site permits from LGUs for the six additional STPs that we are now ready to construct. As a mitigating measure, Maynilad will go into strategic landbanking initiatives to minimize delays in site acquisition.

In the past, Maynilad would conduct feasibility studies five years before the planned construction, while the company was only allowed to acquire sites two years prior. By then, some potential sites have already been bought or are under different conditions. With our new measure, we hope to reach our 27 percent target in 2018. We have also set an alternate target of 16 percent coverage for the next reporting year to give us more flexibility in our schedules.

Desludged Septic Tanks

We desludge the septic tanks of domestic customers once every five-to-seven years. The collected septage is carried by vacuum trucks to the Veterans Water Reclamation facility in Project 7, Quezon City, or to our Dagat-Dagatan Sewage and Septage Treatment Plant in Caloocan, where it is dewatered and further processed into dry sludge or biosolids. It is then further treated and safely disposed by our partner companies (or contractors) at their composting facilities.

As a result of our increased coverage and desludging truck fleet, the volume of septic tanks desludged in our concession considerably increased in 2015. This translates to a total of 6,348 cubic meters of biosolids (5,156 cubic meters by F.G. Agro and 1,192 cubic meters by Mapecon) that have been treated and disposed.

Volume Desludged IN CUBIC METERS

Sanitation Coverage

We account for sanitation coverage by the number of people served by Maynilad’s desludging services. By increasing our resources (i.e number of Vacuum Trucks utilized), we were able to nearly double the population being served. With this accomplishment, we have complied with our 2015 target of 44 percent and currently on track to comply with our target of 50 percent for the next reporting year.

Annex C provides the sanitation coverage per municipality in terms of population and Annex G provides the number of accounts offered with sanitation services per municipality.

Pollution Load Abatement

We actively work to guarantee that our wastewater discharges are within current standards following national and regional best practices. By judiciously following all statutes and codes related to effluents and discharges, we prevent the further pollution of our water bodies and promote better health.

Because of our treatment of wastewater, we managed to reduce biochemical oxygen demand (BOD) by 58 percent, chemical oxygen demand (COD) by 59 percent, total suspended solids (TSS) by 53 percent, and oil & grease by 43 percent. Samples of wastewater quality results are found in Annex I.

Pollution Load Abatement IN KILOGRAMS

The efficient and safe collection and processing of sewage is vital to our community’s health and the sustained success of our concession. After treatment, treated wastewater is discharged into water bodies.

The impact of wastewater discharges into our water bodies is a concern that will never be taken lightly. We strictly follow all discharge limits and regulations imposed by the government and employ the latest treatment technologies that are also the most apt for the location and conditions of each STP.

The increase in wastewater discharge is due

to the increase in the number of STPs.

Managing human wastes, especially in heavily populated areas like Metro Manila, is crucial to protecting public health. Improving access to sanitation facilities, including the provision of adequate containment and proper treatment and handling of blackwater, is therefore essential to prevent the outbreak of water-borne diseases, especially in poor and congested communities.

To promote a more comprehensive risk-based approach to improving Manila’s sanitation systems, WHO and the Asian Development Bank (ADB) have partnered with Maynilad to pilot sanitation safety planning in the Philippines.

“This innovative approach on sanitation provides a new dimension in managing human wastes,” said WHO in the Philippines. “Adequate sanitation is essential for the protection and promotion of the health of individuals and communities, and enables productive and dignified lives.”

Maynilad’s sanitation safety plan (SSP) for this pilot program was done for the Veterans Water Reclamation Facility located in Project 7, Quezon City. This facility is a combined sewage and septage treatment plant, which receives sewage coming from the sewered areas of Project 7 and septage from the West Concession

Area of Metropolitan Waterworks and Sewerage System (MWSS).

The effluent processed in this facility is received by Culiat Creek, which eventually drains to San Juan River, a heavily polluted tributary of the Pasig. third-party haulers (Mapecon and F.G. Agro) transport the biosolids processed in the plant to composting facilities in Alaminos, Laguna and Concepcion, Tarlac.

With this SSP, Maynilad aims to identify all potential hazards and quantify the risk associated to exposure to the sewage and septage collected, as well as exposure to the end-products produced by the treatment facility, particularly the effluent and the dried biosolids.

The Maynilad’s SSP aims to mitigate any adverse health effects resulting from the exposure of its communities to wastewater (sewage and septage) during collection, transport, treatment and disposal, as well as maintenance activities.

“With the success of these pilots, it is envisaged that other utilities and service providers in the Philippines will follow the steps undertaken by Maynilad Water Services Incorporated and Baliwag Water Districts,” said WHO.

According to the World Health Organization (WHO), only around 74 percent of the Philippine population enjoyed the use of improved sanitation facilities at the end of the Millennium Development Goals (MDG) in 2015. This left 26 million Filipinos at risk to various infections and diseases.

The correct and safe handling of septage is just one among the many concerns of Maynilad’s wastewater services.

When properly treated and processed, sludge turns into biosolids, which are organic materials rich in nutrients. Processed biosolids can be used as fertilizer to improve farmlands and stimulate agricultural growth. As such, Maynilad has various third-party programs in place to facilitate the effective management of biosolids. These programs ensure that useful materials from sewage are recycled on land while harmful components are kept from being released into our water bodies.

One such program is Maynilad’s partnership with F.G. Agro, a family company involved in the growing of sugarcane in Tarlac. F.G. Agro has been hauling biosolids from Maynilad since 2012. We renewed their contract this year owing to their excellent services and improved facilities.

Using vacuum-sealed trucks, the company now hauls at least 60 cubic meters of biosolids from our septage treatment plants and aims to haul at least 10,000 cubic meters a year. While there are no reported occurrences of spillages, the company has put in place a spillage action plan with well-trained personnel and drivers on standby to handle possible leaks.

At the F.G. Agro site, biosolids are sun-dried for about 20 to 30 days, which brings the moisture content from 80 percent down to 60 percent. After drying, the biosolids are transferred to the composting area where carbon (e.g. bagasse, rice hull) is added to prevent clumping, followed by microorganisms to kill E. coli.

The treated biosolids are then used to add nitrogen to the soil for growing sugarcane in Central Luzon. Based on the company’s experience, sugarcane grown on soil conditioned with biosolids grow better compared to other yields.

Every day, the company now hauls at least 60 cubic meters of biosolids from our septage treatment plants using vacuum sealed trucks. Their target is to haul at least 10,000 cubic meters a year.

System). As part of this strategy, we have internalized a systematic framework that allows us to manage the environmental impacts of our products, services, and processes. Going deeper into this framework, we have also adopted ISO 50001:2011 (Energy Management System) and ISO 14064-2006 (Quantification and Reporting of Greenhouse Gases). Subscribing to and reporting on these standards have enabled us to better manage and assess our ecological footprint. Our full list of ISO certifications is found in Annex F.

We are committed to the continued reduction of our energy consumption and carbon emissions. Toward this end, we aim to achieve concrete reduction targets, sustain the high quality of our water supply and effluent, and fulfil our obligations on environmental stewardship and the improved health and well-being of our communities.

> MANAGING OUR

ECOLOGICAL FOOTPRINT

Minimizing the adverse environmental impacts of our business is key to our overall sustainability strategy. We operationalize our environmental responsibility through resource optimization, prudent use of materials, and reduction in waste generation while managing their proper treatment and disposal. Effective controls on greenhouse gas emissions and pollutants are also part of this process.

To institutionalize our environmental advocacy, we subscribe to ISO 14001-2004 (Environmental Management

As a company that rely on water resources, we recognize that climate change is one of the biggest risks to our sustained success. Stronger typhoons pose hazards to our facilities and pipe networks, while recurring spells of drought affect the water supply in our existing reservoirs. Our sustainability and continuity therefore rest largely on the robustness of our climate-proofing initiatives and our ability to lessen business risks related to climate change.

We are thus actively searching for new water sources while increasing our storage capacities and furthering water reclamation and reuse. We have also continuously decreased NRW and improved our water quality and quantity prediction abilities.

Moreover, we are now working double time to establish redundant back-up systems for all key aspects of our operations. We are likewise innovating on new design parameters for future facilities, such as mobile treatment plants and on-line chlorination systems.

We have partnered with the media for a more forceful and wider information and education campaign. Also, our relationship with major stakeholders, especially indigenous peoples, remain strong as we jointly manage and protect our watersheds.

Due to the increased coverage area of

Maynilad in 2015, there was an increased

need to power the pumping stations

and ensure the proper delivery of water

to customers, therefore increasing the

electricity consumption for the year by

17.83 percent.

To manage our energy consumption, we established our Energy Management System and comply with ISO 50001. The system helps us establish procedures in effectively operating our facilities by closely monitoring energy consumption. Our facilities submit weekly and quarterly reports to the Department of Energy.

We focused our efforts on seven of the most energy intensive facilities that we have, namely, LMTP 1 and 2, La Mesa Pump Station, Villamor Pump Station, PAGCOR Station, Pasay Pump Station, and Tondo Sewage Pumping Plant. In doing so, we have generated P4,378,150.29 (583,753.37 kWh) in electricity savings, equivalent to 327,391.94 tonnes CO2e. Even with these savings, there was still an overall increase in electricity consumption due to our continued expansion.

Fuel is a necessary resource in our day-to-day

operations. We carefully track our usage and

try to reduce fuel consumption wherever and

whenever possible, without compromising the

integrity and reliability of our services. Trainings

were conducted to educate drivers on proper fuel

conservation methods and encourage a shift in

their driving attitude and behavior.

Most of Maynilad’s company vehicles have been

replaced with models that run on diesel. This

change was enough to decrease fuel consumption

by 3 percent, higher than the 2 percent target for

GHG Emissions 1 IN TONNES CO2E

As an ISO 14064-1:2006 certified company, where we embed the quantification and reporting of our greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions, we take our carbon footprint seriously. This is also in response to SDG 13, where we integrate climate change measures into our operations and improve awareness and institutional capacity on the science and effects of climate change.

Direct emissions (Scope 1) increased by 11 percent. Indirect emissions (Scope 2) increased by 17 percent because of the increased electricity consumption needed to operate pumping stations and ensure water delivery as we expand our services.

Company-owned vehicles are the main sources of Maynilad’s direct emissions. Included in the calculation of Scope 1 are emissions from our company-owned and leased vehicles, internal combustion engines, other equipment such as forklifts, water pumps, generator sets, and grass cutters. Process emissions from the wastewater treatment systems and biosolid processing are also part of this scope.1

Subscribing to ISO 14064, we have developed a GHG inventory, monitoring, and reporting system, as well as verifying and validating our GHG emissions.

It is Maynilad’s goal to make our operations carbon-neutral. We have installed Variable Frequency Drives (VFDs) and High Efficiency Motors (HEMs), and Pressure Regulated Valves (PRVs); embarked on a Clean Fleet program and

a Green Building program; established District Metered Areas (DMAs); and implemented Time of Use (TOU) and upgraded our appliances and fixtures. To augment our carbon footprint, we embarked on planting and nurturing mangrove plantations in Noveleta, Cavite City, Kawit, and Rosario. In 2015, we planted 30,000 seedlings on top of the 37,000 that were previously planted in 2013 and 2014. We will also be computing our carbon stock in these areas as baseline for future sequestration measurements.

This year, we are starting to measure our in-house water consumption in our facilities. For 2015, we consumed 58,001 cubic meters with data coming from 10 reporting facilities. In the future, we will continue to report this as an important indicator as a water utility company.

In-house Water Consumption

Responding to SDG 12, we aim for an environmentally-sound management of wastes and reduce their release to the environment to minimize the adverse effects on human health and the ecology. It is also our goal to substantially reduce waste generation through prevention, reduction, recycling, and reuse.

Though a company-wide solid waste management program is in place,

data was only gathered from our ISO 14001-accredited facilities as these are the ones that record the wastes that they generate. Moving forward, we will include data from all Maynilad offices and facilities in reporting our solid waste. The total solid waste generated in 2015 from 21 offices and facilities was 15,262.16 kg, composed of 48 percent biodegradable, 33 percent residuals, and 19 percent are

recyclables.

We likewise seek to provide our people with enough room for autonomy, opportunities for mastering their craft, and a heightened sense of purpose by articulating, as best as we can, Maynilad’s development goals.

We employ the best talent regardless of ethnicity, religion, and gender. We consider all job applicants equally and fairly throughout the application process and do not allow anyone’s physical disability to cloud our best judgment if a candidate shows great potential to contribute to Maynilad’s sustainability cause and business goals.

On our way to transforming the entire Maynilad workforce culture into one that

prioritizes customer satisfaction above all key result areas, we launched the Higit sa Tubig: Isip, Puso at Gawa (“Beyond Water: Mind, Heart and Action”) program in 2015.

This milestone program engaged over 600 of our employees—including key officers and board directors of two union groups—to embody our heightened focus on customers in both mind and spirit.

Translated into concrete action and results, our latest employee engagement survey conducted in 2014 showed that 93 percent of our employees were highly engaged. Notably, our retention score is also higher than the Philippine norm by a good 13 points.

> CULTIVATING

ENGAGED EMPLOYEES G4-11

A dynamic and highly engaged workforce increases not only productivity but also innovation and our entire triple-bottom line performance. Employee engagement is thus a top concern at Maynilad.

Well aware that our employee engagement and retention scores increase when we empower our own people, we require management to enable employees to meet tangible goals by giving them a challenging but fair amount of responsibility, plus the right tools to succeed.

Notably, we posted scores that are higher than the national average scores for all survey categories. Our three key employee engagement drivers are Empowerment, Organization Culture and Values, and Goals and Objectives – all of which posted scores higher than the Philippine norm.

With these highly encouraging results, Maynilad then developed action plans and identified areas of both strength and improvement for each of our divisions. We communicated the results of our study and the details of our plans to all executives and managers. Team building

sessions were also held for some targeted divisions which scored relatively lower to improve their engagement results in the next survey. In the coming years, it is our goal to maintain or even improve our engagement score.

Notably, we also increased pay and benefits accordingly to extend our growth equitably among our people who have achieved outstanding marks. We also provided performance incentives, which reached 1.2 percent of the company’s 2014 net income.

Our latest employee survey, conducted in 2014 by global professional services company Tower Watson, sought to assess the true picture of employee engagement at Maynilad.

Aside from establishing benchmarks with selected norms and best practices globally, the survey likewise laid the groundwork for future benchmarking and alignment with other companies in the Metro Pacific group, such as PLDT, the Tollways Group, Cardinal Santos Hospital, Meralco, Smart, and Central Luzon Doctors. A total of 1,898 Maynilad employees were invited to participate in the survey, of which 1,840 participated, or a high participation of 97.05 percent.

In relation to the company’s drug-free policy, we conduct random drug testing with a compliance of 97 percent. We provide support for employees yielding confirmed positive for drug use through a rehabilitation program in partnership with a DOH rehabilitation and treatment facility.

Our yearly vaccination program, meanwhile, has accumulated savings for our employees and their dependents amounting to P6,141,803 from 2009 to 2015 because of a significant negotiated 48 percent discount of vaccines against the current market price. This preventive initiative against some communicable diseases translated to a 40 percent reduction in flu cases and a 17 percent reduction in cases of pneumonia since 2014.

We also comply with the relevant Occupational Safety and Health (OSH) and Department of Labor and Employment (DOLE) standards and requirement on Pre-employment Evaluation, Annual Physical Examinations, and Return To Work clearance. Our Annual Physical Examination (APE) compliance remains very high at 98.7 percent.

Maynilad constantly creates and strengthens employee-focused programs that show the company’s genuine concern for our people’s physical, emotional, and professional well-being. As such, we intensified health awareness and education through our regular medical & dental forums, online health bulletins, videos, health alerts and updates, newsletter contributions, and the new healthy employees exemplars bulletins. These are all preventive actions to ensure a healthy workforce and their dependents.

We likewise enhanced our Health Support Clubs for diabetes and hypertension—two of the leading illnesses among the Philippine workforce demographic. These quarterly club initiatives include lifestyle-related disease condition forums, screening tests, and other nutrition and fitness programs reaching approximately 86 percent of the club’s members. The close monitoring of our employees burdened with these chronic conditions remains a challenge to the health management team as they work double time in intensifying programs to reduce uncontrolled cases of hypertension and diabetes within the workforce.

These concerted efforts have resulted in a marked reduction of HMO utilization among our employees, translating to 6.47 percent in cost savings. There was also a significant reduction of 34.25 percent of our employees being hospitalized for certain diseases or conditions as there was an increase in awareness on preventive medicine. This translates to more outpatient

visits and prevents further complications and subsequent hospitalizations. Our strong partnership with 18 external health providers in promoting health in the workplace have also provided additional cost savings to Maynilad, amounting to P3,196,203.75 for risk reduction screening tests and services.A list of some of our Health Management activities and benefits are found in Annex J.

Maynilad achieved a productivity index (manpower per thousand connections ratio) of 1.70, an improvement from our 2014 index of 1.74. This surpassed our base yearly target of 2.1.

Given this high efficiency index, we seek to further encourage innovation among our workforce through the Innofest Program, an annual competition that showcases the best and brightest innovative ideas of Maynilad employees. It is also our platform for recognizing and rewarding brilliant homegrown concepts.

In 2015, we were heartened to receive 53 entries from over 100 employees. Some of the top ideas have already been funded and implemented by the company. The winning FlexStrap idea, for instance, has already been patented and scheduled for field testing.

Other winning entries for the year include the Decommissioned Pipe as Underground Reservoir concept, as well as the Solar Panel for Power Generation in La Mesa concept, whose construction started in March 2016.

Increasing Workplace Efficiency

Encouraging Innovation

ENSURING A CULTURE OF SAFETY

The safety of Maynilad’s employees is of utmost importance to the company’s top management.

This year, we are proud to have logged 3,847,628 Man Hour No Loss Time Accident (MHNLTA). With this, we have accumulated 17,371,708 MHNLTA since our last reported incident in November 2011. We have conducted 573 project safety inspections, 77 facilities safety inspections, 66 work environment measurements, and 60 emergency preparedness drills. All of which contributed to a culture of safety in the workplace.

We have also organized a Maynilad Rescue Team for disaster response following our established Systems Procedures for Pre-disaster, Response, Incident, and Recovery, and Maynilad Typhoon and Rainfall Advisory.

These efforts have been recognized with the Award for Excellence (for MHNLTA outstanding record) from the Safety Organization of the Philippines, Inc. (SOPI); the Workplace Advocates on Safety in the Philippines Inc.’s (WASPI) Safety and Health Excellence Award; and the Fire Whiz Champion prize at the National Fire Brigade Olympics.

Savings from Internal Trainers

Maynilad posted a 106 percent increase in savings by strengthening our thrust to develop internal trainers through increasing our employees’ capacity. We saved 40 percent of what we would have spent if we had hired external trainers. So far, a total of 28 employees (from 18 in 2014) have trained in eight courses as trainers (they need at least three courses in their respective fields to become an internal trainer). The types of trainings include core, leadership, technical, and non-negotiable IMS courses. We plan to double the number of trainers by next year. The total number of training hours conducted by our internal trainers are found in Annex K.

Through this, we envision to further enhance the culture of efficiency and innovation in Maynilad.

Savings from InternalTrainers IN MILLION PESOS

By growing a more inspiring, visible, and accessible brand of leadership, we seek to motivate Maynilad employees to fully realize, and even exceed, their personal career potential.

Our training philosophy is to provide employees with developmental programs that are anchored on the company’s official competency framework. This details the knowledge, skills, and attitudes required of each employee to enable them to deliver our business plans throughout Maynilad’s concession term.

Maynilad has four areas of strategic focus for competency development. First, we prioritize programs that will leave a positive impact on Maynilad’s business efficiency, service obligation, and business development targets. Second, we produce internal trainers or coaches who can create and provide developmental programs for their teams. Third, we implement a senior-level management program to ensure leadership succession. Fourth, we report return on investments and use them as leverage to justify an appropriate budget to support the company’s training needs.

Our training hours increased by 8 percent, from 48,448 hours in 2014 to 52,162 hours in 2015. Our penetration rate, meanwhile, increased by 2 percent, from 1,467 employees in 2014 to 1,496 employees in 2015.

We fully support the UN’s SDG 8, which is the promotion of decent work for all and equitable economic growth.

We believe that inclusive growth enables lasting development, so we seek to transform our business into an engine for the growth not only of our business partners and shareholders, but also of the larger community where we operate.

We accomplish this primarily by ensuring that our business remains viable and profitable, so we can continue tocontribute to public funds and enlarge

the number of employees and suppliers who stand to benefit from our success.

In addition, we invest in corporate social responsibility (CSR) programs that promote market inclusivity and shared value creation. We also support philanthropic projects that improve the health and well-being of our immediate communities.

Across all these programs, our Finance Department ably assists the company in allocating budgets, promptly processing payments, compensating our employees, and remitting taxes to the government.

FOSTERING SOCIAL INCLUSION

It is in Maynilad’s best interest to empower all our stakeholders by strengthening our mechanisms for social inclusion. We therefore constantly improve our services and widen the positive impact of our business operations by bringing in more communities and business partners into the Maynilad community.

As we expand our geographic footprint, we strive to enrich the lives of more people, especially those who still have limited access to clean water and wastewater services, and those who are not yet part of the economic mainstream.

Pag-asa sa Patubig Partnership

Maynilad piloted this novel bulk water scheme in Magtalhai and Dinamita, Bacoor City, in collaboration with the Bacoor LGU and small-scale water provider, Tubig Pag-asa. The program ended the reliance of 250 informal-settler families on water rationing, providing up to P300 in monthly savings per household. One unique feature of this initiative is the establishment of a community fund to finance other development initiatives that complement the program and sustain the partnership.

ENGAGING SOCIETY G4-SO2

We welcome all opportunities to reach more unserved and marginalized markets, knowing fully well that we have everything to gain by working for a more prosperous population in our fields of operations and influence.

Beyond extending lower rates to poor communities to provide access to clean water for all, we also develop innovative programs that strengthen pathways toward social inclusion.

We have given back to our immediate communities by investing a total of P14,378,830.25 in various CSR and social development programs in 2015. Correspondingly, our employees clocked in a total of 3,008 hours of work to breathe life into these programs. Some of our activities are highlighted here.

Food Always in the Home (FAITH) Gardens

In support of the government’s home-food security program, Maynilad established the FAITH Gardens program to promote better nutrition and greater appreciation for organic farming in Parañaque City. The team nurtured and tended four FAITH gardens in low-income communities in Barangay San Dionisio, Barangay San Isidro, Barangay BF, and Barangay Don Galo. Aside from sharing technical skills, Maynilad also installed a drip irrigation system and donated four overhead water tanks.

Habing Buhay

This was established as a livelihood program for the Laguna de Bay community, particularly those who live around the Maynilad facility. Volunteers were tapped to gather the water lilies that clogged the plant’s intake area, affecting raw-water quality. In partnership with the Villar Foundation, the program then taught the volunteers to use the lilies for weaving baskets and mats that are now used as Maynilad’s corporate gifts and tokens. The program created a new source of livelihood for poor families, while simultaneously fostering strong community ties and improving the quality of water that enter our Putatan plant.

GinhaWASH - Bidet

To promote sanitation and proper hygiene practices among public institutions, Maynilad installed 777 toilet sprays in five hospitals, 24 health centers, 20 public schools, and 14 barangay halls. These public centers represent key accounts where health and sanitation need strengthening. Aside from providing proper sanitation tools, the effort also reinforces ideal hygienic practices that employees and patrons of these establishments can share and sustain in their own households.

International Seminar on Water: Nature’s Precious Gift

Together with the United Nations Educational, Scientific and Cultural Organization (UNESCO), University of the Philippines National Institute for Science and Mathematics Education Development (UP-NISMED), and the Foundation for the Promotion of Science and Mathematics Education and Research, Inc. (FPSMER), we spearheaded a seminar to enhance the usability and adaptability of Maynilad’s 15-module teaching-learning resource package on water. The package equips teachers with new strategies in teaching the importance of water in the context of community development and environmental sustainability. Local and international participants explored how the modules could be integrated into non-formal education activities in their respective countries. They were also given a tour of Maynilad’s facilities to assist them in using particular modules that tackle water quality, wastewater treatment, and water resource conservation.

Sining Ipo

To further livelihood opportunities for Dumagat artisans within the Ipo Dam Watershed area, Maynilad developed a mentorship program under poet and folk artist Tata Raul Funilas. This enabled Dumagat sculptors to create new designs of the traditional strategy game sungka which they sold and later showcased at the Landas exhibit in SM Megamall. Aside from supporting the indigenous group while promoting water conservation at the watershed, the program was also able to raise Php 40,000 for the Sining Ipo scholarship fund. The additional funds enabled 27 Dumagat schoolchildren and one college scholar to continue their education in 2016.

Outreach and Public Service

During the Papal Visit in January 2015, 60 Maynilad employees volunteered to man 15 water stations and deployed 11 water tankers, stationed at main thoroughfares leading to Rizal Park. We also desludged 22 septic tanks and declogged sewer lines around Quirino Grandstand, and assisted in the clean-up and disposal of waste from the hundreds of portalets in the park. Around six million faithfuls in Luneta were served by our volunteers. We also allocated 90,000 units of bottled water for the Manila, Leyte, and Tacloban legs of the Pope’s visit.

Disaster Relief

Maynilad distributed more than 10,000 5-gallon jugs, 12,567 liters of bottled water, and around 14 cubic meters of tankered water to various fire-hit areas, in partnership with the Alagang Kapatid Foundation, Inc. (AKFI) and the PLDT-Smart Foundation (PSF).

This allowed the Business Areas and our other community frontliners to assist LGUs in helping over 2,200 fire-displaced families in Parañaque, Manila, Caloocan, Valenzuela, Pasay, and Quezon City.

In addition, Maynilad provided water to some 3,400 families from different provinces affected by Typhoon Lando. This translates to over 6,000 units of varied-sized containers (1-liter bottles, 1-gallon and 5-gallon jugs) brought to Isabela, Aurora, Nueva Ecija, Benguet, Pangasinan, Pampanga, and Quezon provinces – areas outside of our concession areas. These relief activities are a testament to our Love of Country as a central principle that we hold. These efforts were done in partnership with AKFI, the DSWD-National Resource and Operation Center, the Philex Group Foundation, Inc., the Philippine Disaster Recovery Foundation, and the NGO International Citizen Service. We also partnered with MWSS to bring 2,000 pieces of galvanized iron roofing sheets and relief water to families rendered homeless by the typhoon in General Nakar, Quezon Province. Moreover, we provided bottled water to around 1,000 needy families in Samar and Leyte, in collaboration with AKFI. All in all, we set aside P2,481,406 in aid for 2015.

Maynilad Water Academy

Established on October 6, 2011, the Maynilad Water Academy is one of our main instruments for sharing knowledge and expertise in water developments and innovations. In partnership with various groups, we design training programs that advance new water technologies through benchmarking projects, forums, and seminars.

A heightened recognition of the importance of our water resources and its improved management should not be confined within the walls of our company. Through the Water Academy, we go beyond our borders to extend our knowledge to a wider public while advancing institutional cooperation both here and abroad.

Department of Water Supply and Sewerage (DWSS) and Lekhnath Small Town Water Supply and Sanitation User Committee (LSTWSSUC), Nepal

Our capacity-building programs on NRW with various water organizations in Nepal have resulted in a host of benefits for our partner communities in the country.

On a national level, we helped transform the Central Human Resource Development Unit (CHRDU) of the DWSS into the National Water Supply and Sanitation Training Center (NWSSTC). The Center then established Quality Management Systems and conducted its first WASH Expo in 2015. The Expo successfully disseminated information and innovative technological options on water and sanitation in the country.

On a community level, our partnership with LSTWSSUC has been able to reduce NRW from 46 percent to 36 percent in a period of two years, thereby recovering around 42,500 cu.m. of treated water.From an open system, moreover, LSTWSSUC now has 10 DMAs that are monitored daily.

This twinning program also focused on the prompt repair of leaks and introduced a new meter calibration bench to prevent further water and commercial loses. It also brought about better water sampling methods and facilities, including protocols for chlorine dosing.

Recognizing the importance of regular testing for water quality, LSTWSSUC also started disseminating knowledge on better water management practices to the general Nepali public through orientations and media releases.

A list of activities conducted by the Water Academy is found in Annex L.

BENEATH THE SURFACE 143

Against a demanding and highly time-bound operating environment, we are now sharpening our tools and refining our overall business model from 2016 to 2018.

From the BV and NRW focus of our current business approach, we are revitalizing our strategy to one that prioritizes our comprehensive service obligations. We are also enlarging our customer-centric culture to a wider stakeholder-centric model. From having decentralized units, we are moving toward a more cohesive organization.

This shift in focus to more comprehensive,

larger, and stricter targets is necessary if we are to meet our obligations with our regulators and customers. Moreover, increasing our company value target will correspondingly increase the value of our stock, thereby strengthening our prospects of going public and making us more lucrative for both new investors and long-standing partners.

Our ultimate goal of reaching a value of $2.2 billion, while daunting, can be achieved if we harmonize our strategies in three key areas: operational efficiency, business growth, and organization and people development.

THREE-YEARROADMAP

Emboldened by the advances we have already made in 2015, we are now gearing up for a highly challenging future for Maynilad.

We have already achieved significant headway particularly in increasing our coverage and the number of our connections while simultaneously decreasing NRW. For our investors and the millions of Filipinos who depend on us, however, our ability to meet our service obligations is the sole benchmark of our success.

BUSINESS GROWTH

Moreover, we cannot just stay within our

concession area if we are to further grow

Maynilad. It is crucial that we advance our

new stakeholder-focused brand of long-

term growth to more cities and provinces

outside of Manila, particularly Bulacan,

Cavite, Laguna, and Bicol, where we have

already made initial but solid advances.

We must also expand our collaborative

linkages with other members in our larger

corporate family, such as Metro Pacific

Water Investments Corporation. We must

also be bold, innovative, and look for ways

of developing and marketing new products

and services that are aligned with our

vision to become a total water solutions

company.

OPERATIONALEFFICIENCY

Beyond meeting our BV, NRW and

income targets, we wish to stress again

that we must first and foremost deliver on

our service-obligation targets.

As such, we will be implementing

a three-year catch-up plan to meet

our disbursement targets and major

obligations. We expect annual CAPEX

disbursement to average P20-22 billion

beginning in 2018.

It is paramount that we fulfil all running

programs as scheduled in this catch-up

plan. Delayed CAPEX disbursements will

not only negatively impact on our overall

value as a company, it will also make it

harder for us to meet our service duties in

the coming years.

We therefore need to enhance the

capacity of our entire organization to

execute larger and more complex

undertakings.

This will involve changes, particularly

in upgrading both the number of our

personnel and their ability to respond to

complicated issues in a timely manner.

All these will likewise entail that we

conduct a comprehensive risk assessment

exercise and agree with the Regulating

Office on clear audit guidelines.

To further stress how crucial it is to

meet our service obligations, we are now

planning to introduce a new employee

incentive scheme. Our current practice,

targets, will be enhanced to include

BENEATH THE SURFACE 147

While we will be enforcing stricter

deadlines and a more challenging

workplace set-up, our people can also

expect greater growth opportunities

through more learning and development

programs.

More importantly, our new dual-career

ladder will enable us to dream bigger both

for the entire company and for our own

personal careers, as we are all given wider

room to aspire for promotion to business

and technical leadership positions.

With all these dynamic shifts and

exciting changes, it becomes even more

imperative for each and every person in

our company to live out our corporate

values through heightened professionalism

and stricter ethics.

We will be re-presenting our values in

terms of behaviors that our employees

need to demonstrate, thereby making

it easier for everyone in Maynilad to

incorporate our core values in our day-to-

day activities.

vIndeed, we are now digging deeper

and working harder to go beyond water

provision and into a full-line water

solutions company. With your unwavering

support of our new brand’s bigger and

loftier goals, we are confident that

Maynilad will live down history as one

of the companies that all Filipinos can be

truly proud to call their own.

HIGITSA TUBIG

Growing our company from within,

starting with our organizational set-up,

is an integral aspect of our three-year

roadmap.

One key strategy toward this goal is

our heightened focus on reinforcing

our project management approach.

The absence of project managers has

hampered and limited our capability to

breathe life into large-scale and complex

blueprints in the past.

In line with this change, we will strengthen

our performance management system by

introducing a balanced scorecard. This

will be soft-launched in 2016 to cover only

TMT but it will be fully rolled-out to all

employees starting 2017.

We will also be creating an Integrated

Asset Management Division, a

Government Relations Unit with LGU-BA

conduit posts, a Systems, Processes and

Methods Unit, and a group to oversee our

business expansion drives, particularly for

Bulacan and Cavite.

Furthermore, we will be strengthening

our Internal Audit and moving it under

the President’s office. All procurement

and contracts management work will be

centralized in Logistics, which will also

be moved directly under the Office of the

President; as a result, administration work

will be transferred to our HR Division.

Our Water Academy, meanwhile, will

be transferred to our Commercial and

Marketing Division to sharpen its focus

on shared-value advocacies and CSR

functions.

All these are being done to improve

operational efficiencies, and enhance

our overall human resource competency

framework, which we are fully integrating

into our HR systems.
