Hyundai Asia Resources Inc. plans to upgrade all 42 dealerships in the Philippines to qualify for the top GREEEN ratings from the Philippine Green Building Initiative between 2018 and 2019.
HARI president and chief executive Ma. Fe Perez-Agudo said the initiative was part of the company’s climate change program with several projects and programs already implemented, all aimed at promoting sustainability in the Philippines.
The company’s flagship 10-hectare facility, the Hyundai Logistics Center in Calamba, Laguna, has already received the Kamagong Award—the highest distinction for sustainability and environmental efficiency.
“HLC was envisioned to go beyond housing Hyundai passenger and commercial vehicles and upgrades are in the pipeline. These upgrades include the Hyundai Academy training center, the HARI Center for Climate Change and the Hyundai Car Museum,” she said.
The facility was designed by architect and historic site conservations Dominic Galicia and inaugurated in 2015.
