Ayala Land navigates challenges on its path to lead sustainable real estate development
Every step in property development impacts the environment. From land assessment to planning, construction, and even the daily operations of a finished property, emissions are released, affecting the landscape and contributing to climate change. Recognizing this, real estate developers like Ayala Land are taking action, understanding how crucial it is to reduce these environmental impacts at every stage of the development process.
In Ayala Land’s 2013 Materiality Assessment, the company identified key sustainability focus areas that still guide its efforts today. These include site resilience, resource efficiency, pedestrian mobility, and connectivity, and local economic development—ensuring that sustainability is not just a goal but a continuous commitment shaping their operations.
“The reality today is that the environment has changed. So as property developers, what we really need to do is ensure that we're strengthening the site itself to make it livable despite the challenges of climate change. It rains frequently, and it’s also quite hot. We need to ensure that there are enough green spaces to absorb things like floodwaters,” said Hans.
Ayala Land is committed to achieving net-zero emissions by 2050 through a range of decarbonization strategies, starting with renewable energy solutions. Currently, 111 of its commercial properties, accounting for 90 percent of its portfolio, are powered by sustainable energy. Additionally, the company has set aside 784 hectares across seven sites for carbon forests.
