Site Resilience

Ayala Land recognizes long-term risks of climate change and short-term impacts of extreme weather conditions and geohazards to our real estate products

The integration of green spaces and native trees in developments serves to promote the health and wellbeing of residents and visitors by promoting access to natural surroundings and safe outdoor recreational spaces while boosting local biodiversity and site resilience against climate change.

3,643
native trees planted
1,252
hectares of green spaces

We integrate green open spaces in each property masterplan and ensure technical due diligence, geohazard screening, and biodiversity assessments throughout project development. To prevent net deforestation, we do not acquire or pursue developments in forested areas, or areas classified as forests. Furthermore, to address physical risks linked to climate change and safeguard ecosystem integrity, the company consistently applies erosion and sedimentation control measures throughout the planning and development phases of its projects.


Biodiversity

Ayala Land gives high importance to the value of the natural biodiversity where it located and engages third-party organizations for biodiversity studies of its properties.

Through regular biodiversity surveys and High Conservation Value Area (HCVA) assessments, the richness and diversity of wildlife species present is measured and hotspots of areas of potential areas of impact are identified to create a metric for the recommendations on how to mitigate and manage risks.

1,774
flora and fauna species
131 (7.38%)
recorded IUCN species

We have also been proactive in the rescue and rehabilitation of wildlife in our forests and oceans. In 2024, sea turtle conservation initiatives in Lio Tourism Estate, El Nido Resorts, and Anvaya Cove have seen the protection of over 35 nests and the successful release of over 2,430 sea turtle hatchlings of Olive Ridley (Lepidochelys olivacea) and Hawksbill (Eretmochelys imbricata) turtles.


Site Resilience

Ayala Land integrated opportunities for enhancing commuter and pedestrian experiences in the masterplan of all development, aligning with government directives and evolving urban mobility trends

Our properties are strategically positioned in prime locations, wide pedestrian walkway networks within the estates and direct access to major roads and public transport stations.

Resource Efficiency

Ayala Land upholds its commitment to the efficient management of resources across all developments and the reduction of greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions throughout the organization. We regularly engage partners and stakeholders and involve the community in the efficient use, reuse, and recycling of resources and materials.
