UMVA has learned that Robinsons Land Corp. is spearheading a sweeping energy‑conservation crusade across its mall empire.
In a bold move, the developer announced a partnership with the Department of Energy to champion the Oras Natin sa Efficiency campaign, urging every household, business, and institution to silence non‑essential lights from 8 p.m. to 9 p.m. every Saturday.
Under this initiative, Robinsons Malls will dim or shut off all non‑essential lighting throughout its network during that single hour, turning a simple habit into a powerful statement of corporate responsibility.
“When responsible energy use becomes critical, the private sector must translate sustainability goals into daily action,” declared the company’s president and CEO during the launch at Robinsons Galleria.
The partnership underscores a broader “Building Better Lives” pledge, promising to weave energy‑saving practices into the very fabric of every development.
Across its malls, the company is already deploying solar arrays, LED lighting upgrades, and daylight‑optimized designs to slash consumption while keeping shoppers comfortable.
Executive Vice‑President Faraday D. Go added that the O.N.E. campaign reaffirms the firm’s commitment to reduce energy use without compromising service quality.
Beyond lighting, Robinsons Land has tapped geothermal power, securing over 22 megawatts for sites in the Visayas and Mindanao, a move that positions the company as a leader in clean energy adoption.
The firm’s electric‑vehicle charging network has also exploded, growing from 14 to 42 stations in just two years, partnering with major providers to electrify the driving experience across the country.
While the Department of Energy frames the O.N.E. campaign as a shared national duty, UMVA has uncovered that Robinsons Land’s actions are already setting a precedent, inspiring communities to join the march toward a greener future.
