MANILA, Philippines – Manila Water formalizes its membership in the United Nations Global Compact (UNGC) at the ceremonial signing of UNGC Principles in Balara, Quezon City, on 24 January 2025.

The Consunji-led property developer on Monday said it would build a four-hectare project within Barangay Guadalupe in the country’s second-largest metropolis.

Buskowitz, a provider of rooftop solar and renewable energy solutions, said Monday it secured the investment from APAC Sustainable Infrastructure Fund (A-SIF), being led by real assets manager Patrizia Se and Japanese investment firm Mitsui & Co., Ltd.

Manila Water President and Chief Executive Officer Jocot de Dios signed the Pledge of Commitment to the UNGC, which outlines the principles that guide responsible and sustainable business practices.
