2 EDC, a Lopez Group company, is the largest vertically integrated geothermal company in the world and the Philippines leading producer of geothermal energy with 1,130 MW of installed geothermal capacity accounting for 61% of the total country installed capacity. We are the world s largest vertically integrated geothermal power company and the acknowledged global leader in wet steamfield technology Recognized as among the finest and most innovative in the world, our pool of geothermal specialists discover new ways of developing and commercializing clean power right at the heart of the resource. From exploration and production of water-based steam power to generation of electricity for commercial use, we build some of the world s pioneering and most complex steamfields and apply practical solutions to challenging geothermal problems. Many of our technological advancements and innovations have been adopted in other countries - a concrete and impeccable paradigm of technology transfer in reverse. And as a fully integrated geothermal company, EDC possesses expertise spanning the entire geothermal value chain from geothermal exploration and development to power plant operations together with the environmental management and social safeguards required in any energy operation. Today, we are exploring new horizons, as we invest in diverse and environment-friendly energy resources like hydro and wind power. We are expanding our market stronghold as the world leader in geothermal power and renewable energy.

3 The Unstoppable Rise of the JUGGERNAUT OurVision OurMission OurPeople We will become the global leader in geothermal energy as we strengthen our leadership in the Philippine renewable energy industry. We are committed to provide the present and future generations a better life with clean and renewable energy. We are committed to promote customer and investor interests, employee development, community welfare and environmental stewardship at all times. We have the best-qualified and trained professionals, technical people and support staff who persist in always bringing EDC to industry leadership. Our management and technical staff have strong track records in successfully developing power projects. The company s geothermal team has over 30 years of technical and management experience in the geothermal industry. We also have a core team of geoscientists and engineers who are holders of degrees from Geothermal Institutes in Iceland, Italy, New Zealand and Japan. EDC s success story is essentially the history of geothermal in the Philippines. From virtually nil prior to the 1970 oil crisis, the country rapidly developed its geothermal resources in its unstoppable bid to become the world s second largest geothermal producer in only five years after commissioning its 3-MW pilot plant in We took on the challenge, and succeeded, in developing the world s largest wet steamfield in Leyte with an installed capacity of 701 MW. The steamfield also houses the world s biggest geothermal power station under one roof. We scaled summits and surpassed our own record by developing the most challenging project in the highest mountain in the Philippines. The Mt. Apo geothermal project is recognized as the model of sustainable energy development project in the country. Our geothermal fields have an aggregate installed capacity of 1,130 MW and our power generation facilities have a total installed capacity of 1,130 MW. The oil crisis brought out the pioneers and innovative in us. We mastered a groundbreaking technology and transformed our own volcanic steam resources into usable electrical power. 2 3

10 Environmental Management Beyond compliance is our deep commitment to environmental stewardship, which finds its concrete expression in our Corporate Environmental Management Policy. We practice resource regeneration following the natural cycles of the environment. Our zero discharge practice uses a system of minimal wastage and proper re-injection of water resources. By protecting and enhancing the forest cover in our work sites, we ensure the delivery of optimum forest goods and services that help in the recharge of the geothermal reservations. We enhance biodiversity and the ecosystem in areas where we operate. Our programs and services include: Formulation of Environmental and Watershed Management Systems, Policies, Plans and Programs Environmental Impact Assessment (EIA) Airshed Delineation/Establishment Watershed Technical Services Laboratory Analytical Services We are planting the seeds necessary for a nationwide reforestation and biodiversity restoration with the flagship watershed management program called BINHI. The BINHI program aims for a broad-scale reforestation using prime endangered Philippine tree species. BINHI rethinks the whole idea of reforestation, focusing on the highly valued Philippine tree species that can also provide forest services. We will bring back those that are vanishing and are endemic to the Philippines. BINHI will carry out the greening legacy envisioned to reforest the Philippines in a new, more specific and measurable approach. This is our contribution to the collective effort on regreening the planet. The BINHI initiative is one of the Lopez family s commitments to the Clinton Global Initiative

11 Community Partnerships We aspire to achieve economic viability, environmental sustainability and social acceptability of all our energy projects. We are an integral part of the communities where we operate. Focused on four fronts, namely livelihood, environment, education and health, our Corporate Social Responsibility (CSR) Program is a testament to the company s long-term commitment to empower people and to preserve the biodiversity of geothermal reservations
