As published in Business Mirror on September 13, 2015

ETON Properties Philippines recently signed a memorandum of agreement (MOA) with the Laguna Lake Development Authority (LLDA), in line with the company's goal to promote sustainable living in the communities that it operates.

Eton's greening and tree­planting program in its various residential communities aims to pursue a lifestyle that seeks to reduce carbon footprint and provide a green and healthy environment for its residents to live in.

As part of the agreement, LLDA will be turning over a total of 1,000 tree saplings in a span of two years. A total of 670 tree saplings were initially turned over in a ceremony held at Eton City in Santa Rosa, Laguna.

Eton City, the flagship township project of Eton Properties located south of Manila, is the first master­planned development in the Philippines to take inspiration from waterfront cities only found abroad. Situated in a sprawling property along South Luzon Expressway, Eton City is a fully integrated masterplanned development that, once completed, will lavish residents with complete city lifestyle in a nature­rich, suburban setting.

Developments inside the Eton City township include the upscale South Lake Village, RiverBend, TierraBela and West Wing Residences, the first residential communities to rise within the township. "We are one with Eton Properties in ensuring a better future for the next generations through the development of communities that value ecological sustainability," Secretary for Environmental Protection and LLDA General Manager Neric Acosta said.

Present during the MOA signing besides Acosta were Reena Buena, LLDA officer in charge for Community Development Division; Marie Angeli Samala, Eton first vice president for Property Management and Nathaniel Cabungcal, Eton vice rresident for Property Management.
