When COVID-19 broke out in the country last March 2020, the Philippine auto market posted some of the lowest sales numbers we have seen. Part of the reason for this is that local car dealerships temporarily ceased their operations to prioritize the safety of their customers, visitors, employees, and partners.
Mitsubishi Motors Philippines gets the Safety Seal from DOLE
Mitsubishi Motors Philippines Corporation (MMPC) wants to leave all the drastic effects of the pandemic behind moving forward, with the ‘Safety Seal’ received from the Department of Labor and Employment (DOLE). This accreditation ensures that MMPC strictly observes the minimum public health standards set by the government.
“Mitsubishi has always put a premium on safety not just in the engineering of our cars but also in the way we conduct business. That is why MMPC, being the longest staying automotive company in the country, wants to do its part to be alongside Filipinos transitioning into the new normal,” said MMPC President and CEO Mr. Takeshi Hara.
MMPC prioritizes safety in the workplace
With the Safety Seal, customers can be assured that MMPC’s facilities are safe at all times. Valid for six months, the Safety Seal covers the brand’s Sta. Rosa Plant and Parts Warehouse in the Greenfield Automotive Park-Special Economic Zone (GAP-SEZ). DOLE will conduct another rigorous inspection when the certification expires.
The COVID-19 Safety Seal certification is just one of the many ways the MMPC continues to enrich the lives of Filipino car ownership via the new Life Made Better slogan. In doing so, the Japanese marque will be able to fulfill its commitment to help the economy bounce back.
The car brand is adapting to the new normal
Production of locally-made Mitsubishi vehicles including the Mirage G4, Mirage, and L300 carry on without facing threats of the pandemic. One can say that this is important considering that the Mitsubishi L300 has been a volume seller for the brand since the start of the year, providing business mobility amid the new normal.
“COVID-19 has taught us many important lessons, one, in particular, is the importance of emotional well-being. Through our newly issued DOLE certification, we want to offer peace of mind and assure our customers, partners, and the general public that Mitsubishi Motors takes safety very seriously,” added Hara.
