Project Description

IFC is proposing to provide Ayala Land, Inc. (ALI or the Company) with up to US$250 million equivalent in Philippine Pesos (PHP) in the form of an up to 8-years sustainability-linked loan (“SLL”). The IFC proceeds will be earmarked to refurbish a subset of ALI’s commercial property portfolio. The proposed SLL will help ALI to (i) establish the largest EDGE Zero Carbon portfolio globally; and (ii) reduce greenhouse gas emissions.

Associated Advisory Engagement

In September 2023, IFC signed a Memorandum of Understanding (MOU) with the Company to support ALI and AREIT to achieve EDGE Zero Carbon certification across its portfolio of 1.5 million square metres of office space, and accelerate the transition of the Philippine property sector toward net zero.

In April 2024, IFC signed an MOU with AyalaLand Hotels and Resorts Corp (AHRC), a subsidiary of ALI, to support AHRC to achieve EDGE Zero Carbon certification for 2,826 rooms in its hotel portfolio by 2026.
