Dyna Drug Corp. Shifts to Renewable Energy
Dyna Drug Corp., a prominent player in the pharmaceutical wholesale and distribution sector, is making significant strides in sustainability by transitioning its warehouse operations to renewable energy. This move comes as part of a broader effort to minimize the company’s environmental footprint while ensuring uninterrupted power supply for its essential logistics and distribution network.
A Strategic Partnership for Geothermal Power
In a notable development, Dyna Drug has signed an agreement with First Gen Corp., the leading renewable energy provider in the Philippines. This partnership focuses on supplying geothermal energy directly to Dyna Drug’s warehouse facilities located in Pasig and Quezon City. The arrangement officially commenced on November 26, 2025, marking a pivotal moment in Dyna Drug’s commitment to sustainable operations.
Commitment to Sustainability
Under this new partnership, First Gen will provide at least 145 kilowatts (kW) of geothermal energy, specifically tailored to support Dyna Drug’s storage, logistics, and distribution needs. The renewable energy will be sourced from the Bacon-Manito geothermal power plant in Bicol, a facility managed by First Gen’s subsidiary, Energy Development Corp. This strategic sourcing highlights Dyna Drug’s commitment to utilizing clean energy solutions, aligning with its long-term environmental goals.
Visionary Leadership
Dyna Drug’s president, Jacinto Dy, emphasized the importance of this transition, stating that it reflects the company’s enduring commitment to sustainability. He remarked, “Their strong commitment to sustainability aligns perfectly with Dyna’s DNA of values and goals. Transitioning to more sustainable solutions for our operations and minimizing our environmental footprint is our bold vision with tangible actions to improve the ecosystem.”
Founded in 1915 as a grocery store, Dyna Drug evolved into a pharmaceutical wholesaler and is now recognized as one of the industry’s pioneers. Today, the company serves over 3,000 retail drugstores nationwide, making a reliable power supply a critical component of its operations.
Ensuring Operational Reliability
In today’s fast-paced pharmaceutical industry, a stable energy supply is not just beneficial but essential. First Gen’s chief customer engagement officer, Carlo Vega, stressed the compatibility of geothermal energy with Dyna Drug’s operational needs. He noted that the sensitive nature of the products handled by Dyna Drug demands a stable, continuous power supply to ensure the integrity and quality of pharmaceuticals.
“It is our privilege to support Dyna Drug in achieving their sustainability goals. The sensitive nature of the products they handle requires a stable supply of 24/7 renewable energy for warehouse operations,” said Vega. He also mentioned that First Gen is eager to further deepen its partnership with Dyna Drug as the company progresses in its decarbonization journey.
A Broader Impact on Clean Energy Transition
First Gen Corp. is not just a partner to Dyna Drug; it plays a crucial role in the Philippines’ clean energy transition. With over 1,700 megawatts of renewable energy capacity from geothermal, hydro, wind, and solar facilities, First Gen is committed to advancing energy security and supporting sustainable development across the nation. This collaboration with Dyna Drug is yet another example of how industries can leverage renewable solutions to foster a greener future.
This partnership serves as a beacon for other companies looking to make similar shifts toward sustainability. As businesses like Dyna Drug invest in renewable energy, they not only enhance their operational efficacy but also contribute significantly to the global movement against climate change.
