Eton Properties Shifts to 100% Renewable Geothermal Energy
Eton Properties Philippines Inc. has taken another decisive step in its sustainability journey by shifting its key commercial and office buildings to 100 percent renewable geothermal energy under the Lucio Tan Group’s partnership with First Gen Corporation.
The ceremonial signing, held on October 20, 2025, at Marco Polo Ortigas, marked the Lucio Tan Group’s collective commitment to clean energy adoption across its companies. Eton Properties is among the first in the Group to complete the transition, reinforcing its focus on responsible operations and sound governance through its Beyond Green ESG strategy.
The shift also comes as the world observes International Geothermal Day this October, a timely reminder of the growing importance of renewable energy in driving sustainable business operations.
Beginning November and December 2025, six of Eton’s major commercial and office properties — Eton Centris BPO 1, 3, and 5, Centris Walk (including Walk Extension and Centris Estate), Eton Cyberpod Corinthian, and Eton WestEnd Square — will be fully powered by geothermal energy. The shift will supply approximately 33 million kWh of clean energy each year and is projected to reduce carbon emissions by more than 21,000 metric tons annually, equivalent to removing over 4,000 vehicles from the road.
“This milestone reflects how sustainability, governance, and risk discipline come together in our daily decisions,” said Che Mutuc, Chief Financial Officer and Chief Risk Officer of Eton Properties Philippines Inc. “By ensuring that our commercial and office operations run on renewable energy, we are building operational resilience today while creating long-term value for tomorrow.”
The transition is being implemented by Eton Properties Management Corporation (EPMC), the company’s property management subsidiary, in coordination with Eton Properties Philippines. This collaboration demonstrates how operational execution and sustainability governance work hand in hand to deliver measurable impact.
“Our property management teams take pride in translating strategy into action,” said Engineer Juan Miguel Martinez, General Manager of Eton Properties Management Corporation. “By overseeing implementation and monitoring, we ensure the shift to renewable energy delivers measurable, lasting benefits across Eton’s commercial and office portfolio.”
“Beyond Green reflects how Eton approaches sustainability, grounded in governance, integrated in operations, and focused on long-term value,” said Donna Kristine Salgado, Assistant Vice President for Marketing, PR, and Corporate Communication, and Eton’s Sustainability and ESG Officer. “Through this shift to renewable energy, we are translating our commitments into concrete results that benefit both our business and the communities we serve.”
The renewable energy shift supports the Lucio Tan Group’s broader sustainability direction in partnership with First Gen Corporation and aligns with LTG’s four sustainability pillars — long-term growth, value through products and services, good governance, and the welfare of employees and communities.
Through Beyond Green, Eton Properties continues to advance initiatives centered on energy efficiency, waste management, and environmental awareness, ensuring that sustainability remains a core part of how the company builds, manages, and operates its commercial and office properties.
