𝗣𝗛 𝗘𝗺𝗽𝗹𝗼𝘆𝗲𝗿𝘀 𝗮𝗻𝗱 𝗪𝗼𝗿𝗸𝗲𝗿𝘀 𝗦𝗶𝗴𝗻 𝗛𝗶𝘀𝘁𝗼𝗿𝗶𝗰 𝗣𝗮𝗰𝘁 𝗼𝗻 𝗝𝘂𝘀𝘁 𝗧𝗿𝗮𝗻𝘀𝗶𝘁𝗶𝗼𝗻 In a significant step towards a greener future, the Employers Confederation of the Philippines (ECOP) and the Federation of Free Workers (FFW) have signed the Bipartite Declaration on Just Transition, marking a first in the Asia-Pacific region. This landmark agreement emphasizes that bipartism must be at the core of the country’s just transition framework as the shift to clean, renewable energy becomes ever more pressing. “This declaration paves the way for businesses to succeed in a green economy while ensuring that workers are supported every step of the way,” said Sergio Ortiz-Luis, Jr., ECOP President. The declaration commits to: 1. Forming a national bipartite just transition committee; 2. Ensuring genuine representation of workers and employers in government just transition structures; 3. Exploring joint activities aligned with the Workers for Just Transition 13-Point Labor Agenda and ECOP’s Sustainability Roadmap; 4. Engaging with relevant government agencies on policies and programs for Just Transition; 5. Promoting awareness, partnerships, and training on greening and just transition. "There's no just transition without workers' rights," emphasized Atty. Sonny Matula, FFW President. This historic pact, signed before 100 employer and worker representatives, was part of the two-day National Conference on Just Transition: Leave No One Behind held from 2-3 October 2024 at B Hotel, Quezon City, supported by the Confederation of Danish Industry (DI) and the Danish Trade Union Development Agency (Ulandssekretariatet - DTDA). #JustTransitionPH #BipartiteJustTransitionPH #LeaveNoOneBehindPH

I Filippinerne har arbejdsgivere og fagbevægelsen indgået en historisk aftale for at skubbe på den grønne og retfærdige omstilling på arbejdsmarkedet. DI har støttet arbejdsgiverne, og vi glæder os meget over, at det er lykkedes at lande den første grønne topartsaftale i Sydøstasien. Aftalen handler både om at imødegå klimaforandringerne, omlægge energiforbrug og produktion og ikke mindst skabe flere grønne job. Konkret stifter de to parter et fælles organ, der blandt andet skal prøve at skaffe indflydelse på regeringsbeslutninger – og med tiden skal der dannes lokale komiteer, som skal arbejde med grøn retfærdig omstilling ude i virksomheder. Arbejdsgiverne i Employers Confederation of the Philippines (ECOP) er støttet af Dansk Industri og hovedorganisationen Federation of Free Workers er støttet af Ulandssekretariatet - DTDA gennem det danske Arbejdsmarkedskonsortium, der har en strategisk partnerskabsaftale med Danida. Rune Damgaard er Co-CEO i Offshore Wind Philippines under Copenhagen Infrastructure Partners. Han bidrog på konferencen og ser store perspektiver i aftalen: ”Det er rigtig opløftende at se Filippinernes arbejdsgivere og fagforeninger gå sammen med konkrete planer og anbefalinger til regeringen. Forhåbentlig kan det sætte skub på den grønne omstilling i Filippinerne, som er et af verdens mest udsatte lande for klimaforandringer.   Derfor er jeg også rigtig glad for at have fået muligheden for at præsentere CIPs portfolio og løsninger. Vi ser et stort potentiale for bæredygtige investeringer i offshore vind i Filippinerne, som vi forhåbentlig kan være med til at løfte. Det vil både grønne strømforsyningen og skabe nye gode job. Vi vurderer, at 2GW offshore vind kan skabe op til 4,800 arbejdspladser.” Jose Roland Moya, direktør for vores filippinske partner ECOP er også meget tilfreds med aftalen: "To not act on the green and just transition will have disastrous consequences for Filipino companies. I am confident that this historic bipartite agreement between employers and trade unions will help push the government to action. It is our duty in ECOP to transform the agreement into action and hold the hands of our members in this transition."
