Grievance Mechanisms
The grievance mechanism is important because
SRPC acknowledges that it must maintain open
and transparent communication lines with its
employees and suppliers, equipping them with
necessary information regarding policies and
operations.
Internal Stakeholders
The Companys Code of Conduct was
discussed during a 2013 General Assembly
while the Compliance Manual was discussed
in a 2014 General Assembly. Copies of both
were distributed to all employees. Both were
subjected to the review of the Executives, and
then passed on to the President and CEO for
one final review and approval. It is on these that
SRPC's grievance mechanism is built.
The Company's grievance mechanism includes
an investigation committee established for the
purpose of hearing any administrative case.
It comprises the following: the Department
Head as the Chairman, the Human Resources
Manager to facilitate the investigation, one
Human Resources employee to record the
proceedings, and two members of the team to
be recommended by the Human Resourcesone
non-HR and one non-management or nonsupervisory employeeand the complainant.
However, SRPC believes not only in safety
nets, but preventive measures. Its Open Door
Policy gives employees the opportunity to
discourse with their immediate superiors on
matters pertaining to work productivity and
other such topics. Employees are encouraged to
approach their superiors, the Human Resources
Department, and the Compliance Officer
regarding issues they feel must be brought to the

Education
In terms of the educational programs, the
Company conducted several learning projects
and sustained campaigns for children such as
Donate A Book, Make Reading Fun to improve
the reading proficiency of school children and
Summer Arts Workshop to enhance childrens
creativity and artistic talents. The Company
also supports the construction and repair of
educational infrastructures through the Adopt
A School Program and Brigada Eskwela. The
Company also provides a monthly subsidy to
volunteer teachers. For the reporting period, the
Company assisted 63 volunteer teachers from the
three host municipalities.
In 2012, the Reading, Mathematics, and Science
Proficiency Program developed its own culture-based
workbooks written by teachers from the Department
of Educations Pangasinan Division II and Itogon
District II. These workbooks are now being used by
Grade II and III pupils from the 89 public elementary
schools supported by the program. The textbooks
are as follows: The Science and Health III Workbook;
Lets Read, Think, Speak, and Write English; and The
World of Language and Reading.
Health
The Company aligns its initiatives with the health
programs of the government, such as the antidengue campaigns. The Company contributes to
the construction and repair of health infrastructure
in the host communities, undertakes programs
that promote the proper use of water and the
importance of personal hygiene and public
sanitation, and supports capability-building
programs for community health volunteers. It also
conducts supplemental feeding for elementary
school children to promote nutrition and to
improve attendance rates and performance.
Environment
Finally, for environmental protection, the Company
is dedicated to improving the environment
where it operates. It continues its tree library/
arboretum project, bird and wildlife conservation,
fish stock enhancement, the furtherance of the
Philippine Eagle conservation project, and initiates
campaigns to spread environmental awareness.
The environmental programs are discussed further
in the environmental section of this Report.

SRPC formulated the Strategic Social Investment Plan (SSIP) via consultations with partners and assisted communities. Projects are assessed and designed based on the needs of
the community and guided by the Community-Driven Enterprise Development (CDED) Approach. The CDED is a development model borne out of the Companys experience and
partnership with the communities and other interest groups. It advocates for ventures into micro and small enterprises as vehicles for poverty alleviation. The idea simply connects
to the basic enterprise capitals (human, social, financial, physical, and natural) in identifying, selecting, implementing, and sustaining community-driven enterprise/s. The word
community need not restrictively refer to collective undertakings but may also refer to economic activities popular within an assisted community.

Material use is mainly driven by the utilization of water for hydro power generation and indirect energy use (comprised mostly of petroleum, oil, and lubricants for plant maintenance).
At SRPC, resources are conserved through improved efficiencies and the waste reduction. One of the goals stated in the Project's Environmental Management Plan is the reduction of
wastes and unnecessary consumption of resources (materials, fuel, energy), including the recovery and recycling of materials where feasible.
Any hazardous/toxic substance and other non-conventional pollutants present at the site and are regulated by Philippine statutes or their implementing rules and regulations are
assessed and controlled under the Hazardous Materials Standards, Procedures and Practices (ENV-01-02).
SRPC generally complies with applicable regulatory standards, particularly Republic Act 6969 (Toxic Substances and Hazardous and Nuclear Wastes Control Act) and Department of
Environment and Natural Resources (DENR) Administrative Order 39 (Chemical Control Order for Cyanide and Cyanide Compounds). The Environmental Management Bureau-Region 1
confirmed that the transformers being used by the power plant are free of polychlorinated biphenyls (PCBs). SRPC has complied with the requirements for the grant of exemption from
the requirements of the Chemical Control Order (CCO) on PCBs.

One hundred percent of SRPC's electricity comes from its station power (i.e., from a renewable energy source). SRPC sustains energy efficiency both as an electric generator
incorporating technology to produce energy cleanly and efficiently, and as an end-user, improving energy efficiency in the workplace through process improvement and employee
awareness.
The Company gives preference to purchasing environmentally superior products and office materials as part of its commitment to environmentally sound practices. It implements
administrative procedures that reduce indirect energy consumption, simplify work processes, and improve efficiency and productivity.
The Company also conducts assessments that identify sources of pollution and resource (e.g., fuel, electricity, water, etc.) usage so that pollution prevention and resource conservation
opportunities can be identified, prioritized, and implemented.

SRPC is a hydro power plant, thus, it generates electricity using water-driven turbine generators and does not use water in processes like cooling it in order to condense steam, ash
handling, and coal cleaning. 100% of the water used in generating power is returned to the Agno River for subsequent use in irrigating farmlands downstream.
The use of water as the sole and primary material in generating power is guided by the dispatch instructions of the National Power Corporation (NPC), provisions of the Power Purchase
Agreement, the Irrigation Dispatch Requirement of the National Irrigation Administration, and the condition of water level in the reservoir in reference to the San Roque Reservoir
Operation Rule Curve. Water at the reservoir is managed through the San Roque Reservoir Operation Rule Curve as well.
The Companys Standard Procedures and Practices has provisions for performance standards relating to flow measurements, and water quality monitoring and reporting. As mandated,
SRPC and the NPC observe a minimum ecological flow downstream to maintain a riverine environment along immediate segments of the Agno River.
Together with the San Roque Multipurpose Project's (SRMP) Multipartite Monitoring Team (MMT), SRPC regularly monitors and validates the quality of reservoir water and operational
discharges used for irrigation purposes. The Company undertakes data collection of physical, chemical, and biological variables from the aquatic ecosystem to determine the general
state of the water bodies directly affected and their seasonal dynamics. Water quality conditions within the reservoir and water discharges for irrigation are regularly cascaded to
stakeholders.

Upstream of the dam, the water quality impacts associated with the
operation of the Plant are confined to the reservoir area; hence, no impacts
are expected further upstream. Downstream of the dam, assessment
of water quality reflects significant improvement especially in terms of
turbidity/clarity and total solids (dissolved and suspended). The Company is
also equally diligent in monitoring and controlling the quality of its effluent
water from its sewage treatment facilities.

The Company shows its support to the governments National Greening Program (NGP) by adopting a 500-hectare portion of the watershed where interventions are most needed for
reforestation projects. It is committed to restoring habitats, implementing environmental advocacy programs, and establishing a tree library/arboretum in order to promote indigenous
species and to bring back species of trees that once thrived in the area.
The Bird and Wildlife Conservation Program is a continuing effort to promote the long-term viability of healthy populations of birds and wildlife across their range of habitats within
the SRMP area. SRPC also partnered with the Philippine Eagle Foundation for biodiversity protection and conservation through the conduct of site suitability assessments for possible
release sites for Philippine Eagle in the Cordillera and Caraballo mountain ranges. Because of this partnership, more research studies of Philippine Eagles and their habitats in Luzon
have been undertaken.
In partnership with the NPC and the Bureau of Fisheries and Aquatic Resources (BFAR), the Company is also engaged in fish stock enhancement, particularly the replenishment of a
particular species of eel that has diminished with the construction of the dam in 1998.

As greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions accounting evolves, the Company is making every effort to respond by establishing and eventually expanding its GHG inventory accordingly. The
Company offsets carbon emissions with equivalent carbon-fixing, such as CO2 emissions reduction out of generating hydro power and tree planting activities.
Aside from GHG reduction programs being implemented, carbon sequestration programs are also in place. SRPC is continuously implementing the Grow a Tree for San Roque
Watershed initiative in support to the National Greening Program of the government.
The Company endeavors to sustain its energy efficiency both as an electric generator as it incorporates state-of-the-art appropriate technology to produce energy cleanly and

water systems and wastewater treatment units; monitoring of compliance of wastewater with applicable requirements; and employee training on water use guidelines.
SRPC encourages its employees to reuse and recycle materials. Minimization and reusing common office wastes such as paper, aluminum cans, and cardboard are also being practiced.
At the same time, it also encourages employees to refrain from using non-recyclable items.
Hazardous wastes such as used lead-acid batteries, tires, and used oil are disposed of based on regulatory standards. Company storage facilities are periodically inspected by the
DENR and MMT. Such materials are also managed for their monetary value (cash value derived from these waste materials are allocated to various CSR projects).
The Company has standard procedures and practices, which include performance standards related to chemical spill prevention, control, and countermeasures.
SRPC does not transport hazardous wastes internationally. Hazardous wastes are treated and disposed of locally at licensed facilities and records are kept as appropriate at the site
level.
SRPC makes sure that used oil, petroleum, and lubricants are safely impounded in a designated storage area. These are scheduled for treatment and recycling by an authorized
hazardous waste transporter and treater for the first week of June 2015.

Water used for hydroelectric generation is entirely returned to the river for
irrigation use. Assessment of water quality downstream reflects significant
improvement especially in terms of turbidity/clarity and total solids
(dissolved and suspended). Results for both in situ measurements and
chemical analyses indicate that all the identified parameters that define the
desired quality of water for its intended beneficial use (i.e., for irrigation) are
generally within the DENR guideline limits.

A Skills and Knowledge Assessment (SKA), launched by the Technical Improvement and Audit Group the previous year, is required specifically for managers in order to identify any gaps
in the competency of the technical personnel and address these via training (the Training Matrix). The SKA has been integrated in the Performance Management Process so that the
successful compliance of the employee in a given fiscal year will eventually affect his/her performance bonus as well as his/her salary increases, if any, for that period.
The Training Matrix is a tool used to list down the types of priority training needed by the employee as against the actual training sessions attended during the fiscal year. It is a
framework to easily identify common skills required by a certain group rather than one person at a time, making it easier to target new critical skills needed to be acquired for long term
goals. It also serves as the basis of the training plan budget.
Standards and Procedures specify that technical personnel, particularly the Operations and Maintenance Group, must undergo the qualification cards to qualify for performing the
functions of the next-level position.
A Leadership Development Program was also re-launched in 2014 in order to establish a more measurable compliance, as well as reward those managers who complete the program
for their subordinates.
