THE Bank of the Philippine Islands announced it has set a new milestone in the country’s sustainable banking operations as BPI Iloilo Solis and BPI Loyola Katipunan became the first two bank branches to earn Excellence in Design for Greater Efficiencies certification of World Bank Group member International Finance Corporation .
“Next year, we have 25 branches planned for re-construction to also achieve EDGE certification. This forms part of our vision to lead in sustainable business practices in the Philippine banking industry and build a better Philippines—one family, one community at a time,” said BPI Head of Consumer Banking Maria Cristina L. Go.
In a recent joint letter, PGBI President & Chairman Leandro A. Conti and PGBI EDGE Program Director Ramon D. Aguilos congratulated BPI for the achievement, noting, “Our assessment confirms the auditor’s report that BPI Iloilo Solis resource-efficient design will result in reductions of 22 percent in energy, 23 percent in water, and 76 percent in materials’ embodied energy compared to a local base case.
Since 2017, BPI has been guiding real estate project owners on complying with IFC EDGE’s resource efficiency standards. This forms part of BPI’s long-standing commitment of embedding sustainability in the conduct of business to generate positive value for the society and environment.
