“This award underscores our commitment to pioneering green building practices that set new benchmarks for sustainability,” stated Jolan Formalejo, Vice President for Inventory Generation at Aboitiz InfraCapital Economic Estates. “We strive to integrate environmental, social, and economic considerations into every facet of our projects, from design and construction to operation and maintenance.”
At the Building Green 2024 conference, Jolan Formalejo also shared insights into the company’s vision for the next generation of smart and sustainable industrial estates in the Philippines. He highlighted numerous sustainability efforts, including initiatives to decarbonize its estates, reduce energy dependency, the smart and efficient use of water, and the sustainable development and construction practices within the Economic Estates. A panel discussion also took place, alongside leading developers in the country to discuss community involvement in urban planning. The panel emphasised the importance of engaging with stakeholders to understand their needs and priorities and ensure that development projects align with community goals.
The culmination of the event was the PHILGBC Leadership in Green Building Awards ceremony, where LIMA Estate’s recognition further solidified its position as a pioneer in the field.
