MANILA, Philippines — At a time when businesses are placing greater importance on quality, reliability, efficiency and long-term value, Robinsons Land continues to build on a strategy it has pursued for years, in that sustainability should always be at the core of its developments. The use of renewable energy across its office portfolio is an essential part of achieving its goal of a greener workplace.

A major step in this effort is the shift of 15 Robinsons Offices buildings in Metro Manila to 100 percent renewable energy. The transition, which began in October 2025, covers both Robinsons Land’s standalone office buildings and office assets under RL Commercial REIT Inc. (RCR), the company’s REIT platform. Spread across key business districts in Quezon City, Taguig, Pasig and Mandaluyong, these developments serve tenants that value accessibility, quality developments and future-ready infrastructure.

The 15 buildings now supplied by renewable energy are grouped across key business districts in Metro Manila: GBF Center 1, GBF Center 2, Tera Tower, Giga Tower, Zeta Tower, and Exxa Tower in Quezon City; Cyber Sigma in Taguig; Cyber Omega, Cyberscape Alpha, Cyberscape Beta, and Cyberscape Gamma in Pasig; and Robinsons Cybergate Plaza and Robinsons Cybergate Center Towers 1, 2, and 3 in Mandaluyong.

Together, these properties account for nearly 650,000 square meters of gross leasable area or roughly the size of 85 football pitches. They are also projected to avoid approximately 39,000 tons of CO? emissions annually, equivalent to taking nearly 8,500 passenger vehicles off the road for a year.

“This initiative is very timely. Four years ago, we were already pushing for electric vehicle utilization to do away with fossil fuels. Today, fuel prices have increased by more than double. We are grateful to MPower for helping Robinsons Offices achieve 100 percent renewable energy in our standalone Metro Manila offices. We are doing our share to help create a better and brighter tomorrow, so that we can pass this on to future generations,” RL Commercial REIT president and CEO and Robinsons Offices’ senior vice president and Business Unit general manager Jericho  Go said.

Supporting the transition is MPower, Meralco’s retail electricity supplier for contestable customers. The partnership builds on the broader Gokongwei Group’s longstanding relationship with MPower, which dates back to 2013 and includes both Robinsons Land and RL Commercial REIT, Inc.

“We are very happy to support your sustainability journey when excellence is no longer measured by growth alone, but also how it is achieved with responsibility and positive impact to power, planet and people as today and most especially for the generations to come,” Redel Domingo, senior vice president and head of MPower, said.
