Aboitiz InfraCapital Economic Estates continues to lead the way in sustainable industrial development, achieving the prestigious 5-Star BERDE District Certification for all its operating industrial estates. This milestone reinforces the company’s unwavering commitment to sustainability and sets a new standard for eco-friendly industrial developments in the Philippines.
The BERDE (Building for Ecologically Responsive Design Excellence) certification, developed by the Philippine Green Building Council, is the country’s benchmark for sustainability in building and district development. Guided by the World Green Building Council’s globally recognized criteria, it evaluates projects based on their environmental performance, surpassing existing regulations and mandatory green standards.
Aboitiz InfraCapital pioneered this effort with its LIMA Estate, the first to receive the BERDE District Certification, achieving the maximum 5-star rating. This groundbreaking recognition laid the foundation for the company’s dedication to sustainable and resilient industrial estate development.
The recent Cebu Executives Forum marked another milestone as Aboitiz InfraCapital’s MEZ2 Estate and West Cebu Estate earned their 5-Star BERDE District Certifications. These achievements distinguish the two estates as the first 5-Star BERDE District Certified developments in the Visayas and Mindanao, reflecting world-class excellence in green building practices.
“As we achieve 5-Star BERDE District Certification across our entire portfolio, we celebrate a collective accomplishment made possible by the support of our valued partners and stakeholders. Together, we are setting a new standard for industrial estates, attracting investment, and building a greener future for the Philippines,” said Rafael Fernandez de Mesa, Head of Aboitiz InfraCapital Economic Estates and President of Cebu Industrial Park Developers, Inc.
This recognition aligns with the growing prioritization of sustainability among partners, locators, and communities, reinforcing Aboitiz InfraCapital’s position as a leader in responsible and forward-thinking development. By becoming the first industrial developer in the country to achieve this distinction across its entire portfolio, Aboitiz InfraCapital exemplifies how a comprehensive, eco-conscious approach can deliver tangible benefits for stakeholders while advancing the Philippines as a prime destination for sustainable investments.
Through these efforts, Aboitiz InfraCapital not only supports the nation’s sustainable growth agenda but also inspires a broader movement toward resilient and responsible industrial development across the country.
