Robinsons Land Corporation (RLC) continues to be at the forefront of sustainable development by demonstrating how engaging in sustainable activities can benefit, not only the environment, but the developers and communities they serve. Receiving the notable Best Sustainable Developer-Highly Commended award at the prestigious PropertyGuru Philippines Property Awards 2024, RLC is demonstrating its commitment to pursuing quality of life for all connected to RLC through the practice of sustainability. 

In the ever-changing world, sustainability has gone from just being a buzzword to a necessity — or must-have. For customers, this means not only enjoying eco-friendly living spaces but also reaping long-term benefits. These benefits are not only financial savings on electricity, gas and potable water, but also a means to contribute to a healthier planet. RLC sustainable developments are - and have always been - designed with the future in mind.

RLC focuses on four areas — Climate Action, Responsible Land-Use, Water and Waste Management, and Material Sourcing — aligned with the UN Sustainable Development Goals. By integrating green building standards such as EDGE and LEED certifications, RLC ensures that both new and existing structures meet stringent sustainability benchmarks. For its customers, this means energy-efficient buildings, and environmentally-conscious communities that are resilient, sustainable, and future-proof.

At the heart of RLC’s green initiatives are the innovative technologies embedded in its developments. From solar power installations and EV charging stations to rainwater collection systems and sewage treatment plants (STP), these eco-friendly solutions provide tangible benefits to both tenants and homeowners.

For instance, solar-powered developments reduce energy costs, while water-saving fixtures ensure efficient water management—both generating long-term savings for owners and tenants. These innovations also promote environmental awareness and motivate people to commit themselves to sustainable practices in their every-day life.

In response to the increasing risks from climate change, RLC has implemented the Climate Resiliency Project across its developments. This initiative, in line with the Task Force on Climate-Related Financial Disclosures (TCFD) framework, assesses and mitigates climate-related risks such as flooding, heatwaves, and extreme weather events. By prioritizing resilience, RLC is not only protecting its assets but also ensuring that its communities remain safe and livable for generations to come.

RLC’s commitment to sustainability is not only manifested in its eco-friendly projects but also in its consistent recognition at the PropertyGuru Philippines Property Awards. For three consecutive years (2022-2024), RLC has been named "Best Developer (Philippines)," a nod to the company’s successful dedication to building high-quality, sustainable developments.

These accolades further solidify RLC’s position as a leader in sustainable development, creating spaces that are aligned with the evolving needs of its customers and promoting environmental stewardship.

“As we continue to build and innovate, our goal is to integrate sustainability into every facet of our operations,” says Ramon Rivero, RLC’s Chief Strategist. “We believe in building better and fostering environmental responsibility in all that we do.”

RLC’s journey toward sustainability doesn’t stop here. The company remains committed to integrating innovative, eco-friendly solutions into future developments, driving the real estate industry toward a greener future. As RLC continues to grow, customers can look forward to resilient, sustainable communities that benefit both current and future generations.
