Philippine real estate developer Empire East Land Holdings Inc. is adopting Environmental, Social, and Governance (ESG) principles across its business operations.
“ESG is no longer a reporting requirement — it’s the foundation for value creation,” said Atty. Anthony Charlemagne C. Yu, president and CEO of Empire East during the 2025 Annual Stockholders’ virtual meeting on 10 June. “From our design choices to our corporate partnerships, Empire East is advancing a business model that thrives by uplifting people and protecting the planet.”
The company uses eco-efficient construction materials across multiple developments. It is accelerating efforts to improve carbon footprint monitoring, with scalable initiatives underway to support sustainable architecture, green mobility, and biodiversity-friendly urban spaces.
Beyond operations, the company strengthened its community and employee engagement, continuing its Adopt-a-School Program and launching localized waste education initiatives. Empire East also reported its improved focus on mental wellness, professional development, and inclusive workplace culture.
