Little things go a long way when it comes to caring for the environment. It is a personal commitment to reuse, recycle and reduce. I find it really remarkable when developers commit to the environment by practicing and wholly adopting the Green building concept.

The Leadership in Energy and Environmental Design (LEED), is a world-renowned green building certification method that sets the barometer for renewable energy and future sustainability in development.

But what does it really mean to be green?
It has mostly to do with efficient use of water, electricity and sustainable source of power and equipment, garbage management and resources and materials used in the development.

In Bonifacio Global City, three buildings have maintained the Platinum status (the highest, the rest being Gold, Silver, and Certification levels). They are:
