The Ayala Group has received prestigious workplace certifications from the International WELL Building Institute (IWBI), recognizing its commitment to health, well-being, productivity, and sustainability.
Ayala Corporation’s headquarters at Ayala Triangle Gardens Tower Two in Makati City earned a WELL v2 Platinum Certification, the highest level under IWBI’s latest WELL Building Standard. It is the first corporate headquarters in the Philippines and one of the few in Southeast Asia to receive the distinction.
Ayala Land received a WELL Gold Certification for ATG Tower Two, its newest office development hosting offices of leading Philippine companies, international firms, and embassies. This marks Ayala Land’s first WELL Gold for an office property.
The certifications were conferred on Nov. 12 at Ayala Corporation’s headquarters. IWBI Senior vice president and head of Asia Pacific Jack Noonan presented the awards to senior leaders, including Ayala Corporation chairman Jaime Zobel de Ayala, president and CEO Cezar P. Consing, Corporate Resources group head Francisco Romero Milán, People Experience head Sherry M. Gosiengfiao, and Ayala Land Offices vice president Carol T. Mills and Business Development head Gail S. Yambao.
“These certifications reflect the importance we place on creating workspaces that promote well-being and sustainability. Superior workspaces foster productivity, creativity, teamwork, and a sense of purpose,” Consing said.
“The WELL certification strengthens our commitment to building not just world-class developments, but places that uplift people and communities. Ayala Triangle Gardens Tower Two exemplifies our goal of integrating wellness into every aspect of the built environment,” Mills added.
WELL is a global rating system for buildings and organizations focused on human health and well-being through evidence-based design and operational practices. Certified offices are evaluated on factors including air, water, nourishment, light, fitness, comfort, and mind.
“We’re delighted to celebrate the Ayala Group for its inspiring leadership in championing health and well-being in the workplace,” Noonan said.
He added, “Achieving WELL Certification at the Platinum level for its own headquarters and at the Gold level for a building supporting other organizations reflects Ayala’s belief that people’s health is central to business success. By creating spaces where employees and partners can thrive, Ayala is setting a powerful example for organizations in the Philippines and Asia Pacific.”
