Can government institutions lead the charge for a greener future? Well, the Bangko Sentral ng Pilipinas (BSP) is showing us the way! This month, the BSP made history as the first existing government building in the Philippines to receive a sustainability certification under the Philippine Green Building Council’s (PhilGBC) BERDE system. With a 4-star "Country Leader" certification, the BSP’s Manila headquarters sets the bar for how eco-friendly operational improvements can position institutions as sustainability champions. During the awarding ceremonies, BSP Governor Eli M. Remolona, Jr. proudly stated, “This recognition is proof that we walk the talk. It is a testament to our belief in the importance of sustainability.” And this isn’t just a one-time achievement. From earning a 5-star energy efficiency rating in 2022 to embedding green practices in its Sustainable Central Banking Framework, the BSP proves that even older buildings can be transformed into eco-friendly models.

Will the BSP’s green leadership inspire a wave of sustainable transformations throughout the country?
