Empowering Philippine businesses to cut emissions by 2030.
Empowering Philippine businesses to cut emissions by 2030.
In partnership with National University campuses in Laguna, Dasmariñas, and Lipa, the European Chamber of Commerce of the Philippines (ECCP) launched a logo design contest that drew 79 student teams—nearly 400 young creatives. Their mission: design a symbol that inspires a future of clean air, resilient communities, and a fair, net-zero Philippines.
The winning logo, “Pusong Hero for Net Zero,” created by students from NU Lipa—Allen Christian Salvatierra, Maria Antonilla Camacho, Alexis Dequino, Jamaica Lopez, and Matthew Sarmiento—is a heart-shaped emblem that puts empathy at the center of climate action. Its colors reflect the Philippine flag and the three stars represent Luzon, Visayas, and Mindanao uniting the archipelago. Inside the heart, iconic imagery tells a powerful story: the Bangui Wind Farm and Bohol’s Chocolate Hills, bayanihan scenes, thriving farms, and vibrant coral reefs—all symbols of what we must protect and sustain.
United by heart, driven by hope, and rooted in the strength of our land, Pusong Hero for Net Zero is the youth’s powerful call for CLIMATE HEROES to rise—urging us all to take urgent action and safeguard the planet they are set to inherit.
What’s Next? The unveiling of the new Race to Net Zero Philippines emblem signals the formal launch of our drive to reach Net Zero by 2030. With climate impacts accelerating worldwide, the Philippines must act swiftly and decisively. RTNZ will spark that urgency—identifying roadblocks, unlocking solutions, and rallying every sector behind one goal. Our campaign aligns with the UN-backed Race to Zero, the largest global coalition of non-state actors—businesses, cities, regions, investors, universities, and healthcare systems—committed to halving emissions by 2030 and creating a healthier, fairer, zero-carbon world.
Race to Zero has 26 Partners and 35 Accelerators including the ECCP, that collectively unite more than 16,000 members – the largest ever alliance working to halve global emissions by 2030 in line with the Paris Agreement, with transparent action plans and near-term targets. Become part of a leading community taking urgent climate action now!
The Philippines has remained the world’s most disaster-prone country for 16 straight years—but we can still change this.
Join us in leading that change. Race to Net Zero Philippines invites visionary companies, organizations, and individuals to become Advocates—leaders committed to driving a net-zero, climate-resilient future.
The European Chamber of Commerce of the Philippines (ECCP) was appointed as the official Race to Zero Accelerator for the Philippines—supporting the global goal to halve emissions by 2030 and reach net zero by 2050.
To advance this mission, ECCP established Race to Net Zero Philippines Inc., a dedicated NGO that empowers local stakeholders to join the campaign and lead high-impact climate action. As Accelerator, ECCP connects its members with official Race to Zero partners to scale their net zero journey.
