COMPANY PROFILE

INTRODUCTION
As a result of the global environmental concerns, the need to develop alternative sources of energy has been a major interest and research worldwide.

In the Philippines, energy shortage is a major risk in the near future and automobile pollutants have tremendously increased. Recognizing the need to develop a cleaner alternative source of energy, the government supported the use of coconut as a biodiesel or more popularly known as “CME”. With the recent passage of Biofuel Act, the demand for bio-energy crops such as coconut for the use of bio-fuel and alcogas products in vehicles has tremendously increased. However, coconut development continues to lag behind due to a limited source from only a few coconut producing regions and very limited CME plants found in the Philippines.

HISTORY
Realizing that the tobacco industry is already a thing of the past, visionary leaders from the North dreamt of restoring the agricultural height in the Ilocos region. With the development of coconut as an exportable coco methyl esters (CME), they thought that the coconut industry may thrive and flourish in the North as a feasible, economic, viable and sound investment.

In 2005, a group of dedicated businessmen and CME advocates through the guidance of said Ilocano leaders, organized the Bio-Energy NL Inc. also known as BENLINC with a remarkable outstanding capitalization in the amount of Sixty Five Million Pesos (P65,000,000.00).

The coconut development project spearheaded by BENLINC is the first, and the pilot coconut program in the north covering the provinces of Ilocos Norte, Ilocos Sur, Cagayan and Aurora.

Nevertheless, the procurement activities will cover all coconut-growing areas in Northern Luzon, outlying islands in southern Luzon and the Visayas

COMPANY PROFILE
Bio-Energy NL Inc. otherwise known as “BENLINC” is a duly organized company existing under the laws of the Philippines which aims to develop the coconut industry in the northern part of the Philippines. It is composed of local leaders and businessmen mostly from the north who has been united by one and noble vision –to revive the coconut industry in the Ilocos region to be able to produce exportable coco methyl esters (CME) as well as to meet local demands.

BENLINC envisions to develop more than one million hectares over a ten-year period in ten provinces in the Ilocos Region by utilizing surplus rural labor and vast underdeveloped land resources into coconut and other bio-energy crops. The Philippine Coconut Authority together with the Department of Environment and Natural Resources have recognized and given their support to BENLINC.

BENLINC has developed a coconut-based bio-energy development program to serve as a blueprint to realize its objectives.

It has the following three (3) components:
√ Pilot coconut-based bio-energy development in priority areas including infrastructure and support services;
√ Pilot procurement, processing and export market development;
√ Project management and implementation support system.

OUR VISION, STRATEGY, VALUES AND CHALLENGES

OUR VISION
Our vision is to promote the use of coconut as bio-diesel and as an alternative source of energy not only in the Philippines but all over the world.

Our environment is threatened by automobile pollutants, and we need clean fuel to preserve our degenerating atmosphere.

We want to develop the North as a CME-producing hub that will cater the energy demands, locally and internationally.

It means that we want to develop an exportable quality of CME, and at the same time uplift the economic lives of the labor resources in the North.

We also want to promote the coconut’s eligibility for reforestation, and to promote its by-products for local and international consumption.

OUR STRATEGY
We dream of building the North as a prime CME producing center in the Philippines. With the support of the government and other international financing institutions, we desire to provide the best quality of coco-bio-diesel not only in the Philippines and conquer the world market through world-class service, creative marketing and cost efficient benefits. We hope to better the lives of individual and cooperative farmers in the North, and utilize our vast forest lands for the development of the coconut industry in the region.

We dream to build a bountiful and blessed northern Philippines. We hope to realize the dreams and aspirations of our marginalized farmers. We want to build a better and brighter future for the generation yet to come.

Finally, we are passionate in making a better and clean Philippines.

OUR VALUES
Our identity describes our present, and our future.
We believe in the core values of a progressive and reputable company:

COMMITMENT
We are committed to a higher cause- of building lives, realizing dreams and developing a region and country.

PASSION
We have a united and undivided heart to pursue the vision of our company

INTEGRITYWe do as we promised we will do

EXCELLENCE
We work an extra mile yet provide the best and quality service

TEAMWORK
We move as part of one body

OUR CHALLENGES
We will disprove the common perception that the Northern Philippines is not ideal for coconut plantation since it is always ravaged by typhoon and other calamities.

We will be able to convince and persuade the farmers and aspiring workers that the vast idle hectarage of lands is suitable and viable for coconut plantation.

We will be able to conquer all obstacles, and go beyond them. Our vision will hold us true to our ideals, and we will remain steadfast to our calling-building lives, realizing dreams and making a better and clean Philippines.
