Arthaland hosted a celebration at the Arthaland Century Pacific Tower, the world’s first building to be certified as EDGE Zero Carbon by the International Finance Corporation, the private sector arm of the World Bank, for the first batch of five talented students who completed the intensive 240 hours of training under its Professional Green Building Training Program. The program was done in partnership with the National University, which considers sustainability its leading advocacy.

Designed for aspiring green building professionals, the 6-week program offered hands-on experience in sustainable project work guided by Arthaland’s sustainability experts. The students gained valuable insights into project design, construction, and post-construction phases using Arthaland’s multi-awarded and multi-certified green residential and office developments as the backdrop for a comprehensive skill set.

The demand for young minds committed to sustainability has never been greater,” said Oliver L. Chan, ARTHALAND Senior Vice President and Chief Sustainability Officer.

One student in particular, Ms. Jomabel Baguio showed promise as a future green leader, and received a full scholarship from Arthaland for her final academic year at the National University College of Architecture. “Through this training, I’ve gained a deep understanding of how sustainability works, transcending certifications and code requirements, but also the importance of creating a legacy of mindful stewardship for current and future generations,” said Ms. Baguio.
