Isla LPG Corporation, the country’s leading LPG brand, has partnered with Yokohama Tire Philippines, Inc. (YTPI) to explore innovative solutions aimed at reducing carbon emissions and optimizing operating costs.
This strategic partnership leverages the expertise of both companies to develop sustainable and efficient practices within their respective industries.
YTPI stressed the importance of partnering with Isla LPG Corporation as a collaboration between two companies with a common goal. YTPI continuously strives for innovations, not only in how they manufacture their products but, more importantly, in how they operate as a responsible corporation.
Sustainability and efficiency

“Our partnership with Isla LPG Corp marks a significant milestone in sustainability and efficiency,” said YTPI President and CEO Atsushi Funayama. “This is a crucial step for our company as we decide to transition from a diesel-powered boiler to LPG,” added Funayama.
This collaboration with Isla LPG Corp aligns with YTPI’s sustainability initiative to reduce the company’s carbon footprint and minimize the environmental impact of its operations. With the conversion to LPG, YTPI will produce lower emissions while maintaining maximum production capacity.
“Many years ago, we realized the possibility of using LPG as a cleaner alternative fuel. With the economics of this process improving, more and more clients have begun to use LPG for their manufacturing facilities,” said Jose Antonio Gonzalez, Isla LPG Corporation Chief Commercial Officer. “We are excited about this opportunity to partner with YTPI as we work together in reducing carbon footprint and achieving our sustainability targets,” added Gonzalez.
YTPI focuses on sustainability through environmental stewardship, including energy conservation, waste reduction, recycling, community engagement, and environmental preservation initiatives.
In terms of operations, YTPI relies on a consistent fuel supply. Isla LPG Corp. has an established supply chain and distribution network, ensuring a reliable and consistent supply of LPG to YTPI’s facilities, minimizing the risk of operational disruptions due to fuel shortages.
Commitment like no other
Isla Petroleum and Gas Corp.’s Tomoaki Asai, Chief Executive Officer, and Jose Antonio “Banjo” Castillo, Chief Operating Officer, emphasize the company’s commitment to supporting YTPI with technology and expertise as it begins using LPG as a cleaner alternative fuel.
“I’d like to express my sincere gratitude to YTPI, led by Mr. Funayama, for their great support and hard work in making this event possible,” said Tomoaki Asai, Chief Executive Officer of Isla Petroleum and Gas Corp. “We would like to strengthen and expand our partnership following the business philosophy of Sanpo Yoshi, which means good for all three sides—good for the seller, good for the buyer, and good for society. This has been the business principle for Japanese merchants for over 160 years and is now the corporate philosophy of ITOCHU, the Japanese trading house where I came from. For us, this means that this partnership will benefit YTPI, Isla LPG Corp, and society. I look forward to working with you as a partner for years to come,” shared Asai.
YTPI’s commitment to providing their customers with quality products is aligned with Isla LPG Corp’s ability to tailor its services and infrastructure solutions to meet the specific operational requirements of YTPI, ensuring a seamless integration of LPG into their existing processes.
Significant milestone
The partnership between YTPI and Isla LPG Corp is not just a business agreement but a celebration of a shared vision between the two companies.
Essentially, Isla LPG Corp will act as the energy partner for YTPI, providing not just the fuel itself but also the expertise, infrastructure, and support necessary for YTPI to successfully transition to a cleaner energy source and realize the associated sustainability and operational benefits.
YTPI’s efforts to actively reduce energy consumption and carbon dioxide emissions go hand-in-hand with Isla LPG Corp’s vision of helping its customers achieve their sustainability goals.
“YTPI has indeed found the right partner in Isla LPG Corp, and we are proud that our customers and clients continue to trust us because of our safety, reliability, and integrity,” said Jose Antonio “Banjo” Castillo, Chief Operating Officer, Isla Petroleum and Gas Corporation. “Our company aims to always improve our technology, especially in fuel conversion, where we want our partners to increase their production volume without increasing the negative impact on the environment,” concluded Castillo.
