Chemrez Technologies Awarded the Industry’s Most Diversified and Innovative Firm

Chemrez Technologies Inc., a unit of chemical manufacturer D&L Industries Inc., was recognized as “the most diversified and innovative firm” in the Philippine coconut industry and as “the most socially responsible enterprise” during the inaugural Coconut Industry Sustainability (COINS) Awards. The Philippine Coconut Authority (PCA) organized the said award to celebrate outstanding contributions of stakeholders to the country’s coconut sector.
Chemrez has been driving the advancement of the Philippine coconut sector for over four decades. The company pioneered the development of higher-value applications of coconut oil, such as on bio-fuels, going beyond traditional uses to open new applications and growth opportunities.  In 2006, Chemrez built Asia’s first continuous coco methyl ester (CME) or biodiesel plant in the country, essentially building the backbone of the Philippine biodiesel industry.  Chemrez supplies about 40 percent of the total biodiesel requirement of the country.
The company is recognized all over the world as a trusted supplier of sustainable and natural ingredients derived purely from coconut oil.  These ingredients are widely used in personal care, home care and wellness products. Its roster of customers includes leading multinational companies that manufacture some of the world’s most recognized household brands.
Chemrez also works with the Lao Foundation Inc. (LFI) for its corporate social responsibility initiatives with the mission of uplifting and enriching the lives of the communities where it operates. Through partnerships with institutions such as Don Bosco and Dualtech, the foundation has provided scholarships for children of coconut farmers, combining financial assistance with hands-on plant training and employment opportunities at Chemrez.
