MANILA, Philippines — A.T. Yuchengco Centre (ATYC), a 34-storey PEZA-accredited office tower in the heart of Bonifacio Global City, announced its significant shift toward environmental sustainability by transitioning to 100 percent renewable energy (RE) supply through a retail electricity supply agreement with the Ayala group’s ACEN Renewable Energy Solutions.
Under the agreement, ACEN RES will power the A.T. Yuchengco Centre with RE sourced from ACEN’s extensive RE portfolio, potentially avoiding up to 32,337 metric tons of carbon emissions, equivalent to almost 8,000 cars off the road annually. This move aligns with A.T. Yuchengco Centre’s commitment to reducing its environmental impact and supporting the Philippines’ transition to an RE future.
The 34-storey building, boasting 25 office floors ideal for BPO companies, along with retail and commercial spaces, now operates on RE.
Eric Francia, president and CEO of ACEN, said: “We are proud to be a partner in sustainability with A.T. Yuchengco Centre. This collaboration underscores the importance of the commercial real estate sector in enabling the energy transition. ACEN is committed to supporting organizations like A.T. Yuchengco Centre in reaching their sustainability goals, contributing to a greener and more resilient future for the Philippines.”
Lorenzo Tan, president of ATYC, Inc., said: “At A.T. Yuchengco Centre, we are dedicated to creating a progressive and sustainable work environment for our tenants. Partnering with ACEN RES to transition to 100-percent RE is a significant step forward in achieving this goal. We are confident that this initiative will resonate with our environmentally conscious tenants and contribute to the overall sustainability efforts of the Yuchengco Group of Companies.”
