Pioneering Sustainable Industrial Parks: Aboitiz InfraCapital Achieves 5-Star BERDE District Certification Across Its Economic Estates
November 13, 2024
Developed by the Philippine Green Building Council, BERDE (Building for Ecologically Responsive Design Excellence) is a certification standard that evaluates projects on their environmental performance, exceeding existing laws and mandatory green standards. Guided by the World Green Building Council’s globally recognized criteria, BERDE is the local benchmark for sustainability.
Aboitiz InfraCapital led the way in green certification by securing the first-ever BERDE District Certification for LIMA Estate, setting a precedent with its maximum 5-star rating. This foundational achievement demonstrated the company’s commitment to sustainable and resilient industrial development.
At the Cebu Executives Forum, Aboitiz InfraCapital’s MEZ2 Estate and West Cebu Estate were each awarded the 5-Star BERDE District Certification, completing the green certification of all Aboitiz InfraCapital Economic Estates. Both projects have demonstrated world-class performance in green building practices, earning the distinction of being the first 5-Star BERDE District Certified Developments in Visayas and Mindanao.
West Cebu Estate, The Shipbuilding Capital of the Philippines, spans 540-hectares offers world-class facilities and a strategic location for global manufacturers
"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,"
Mactan Economic Zone 2 (MEZ2) Estate, Lapu-Lapu City’s thriving hub of business and innovation, spanning 63 hectares, offers a sustainable and integrated environment that supports business growth and community development.
This certification for both Economic Estates resonate with today’s partners, locators, and communities, who increasingly prioritise sustainability in their operations and investment decisions. As the first industrial developer in the Philippines to achieve 5-Star BERDE District Certification across its entire portfolio, Aboitiz InfraCapital’s focus on sustainability strengthens its position as a leader in responsible development and delivers tangible value to stakeholders. This integrated, environmentally responsible approach serves as a model for other developers, advancing resilient growth and positioning the Philippines as a prime destination for sustainable investments.
