According to Arthaland’s Vice Chairman and President Jaime C. González, they take pride in Lucima as it is the first high-rise residential project vying for IFC’s EDGE Zero Carbon certification in southern Philippines, reflecting the brand’s commitment to raising the standards of residential development. It has earned precertification for LEED® Gold by the U.S. Green Building Council. It is vying for WELL™, EDGE®, and BERDE certifications.
“Our journey to net zero bridges the gap between a sustainable future and our most concrete contribution to today’s global call for climate action. We believe that the best way to realize tomorrow is by building it today,” González added.
In a speech during the project’s overview, Chan said, “Being the first real estate developer, committing to a net zero portfolio by 2030, I think this is the first step for each and every one of us to move forward and understand what true sustainability and wellness really mean. And with our projects, Cebu Exchange and Lucima, we would like to help shape the future, not only of Cebu but the entire country.”
