Ayala Land’s Carbon Forests

Expanding our Carbon Forests 

In 2024, Ayala Land expanded its carbon sink by adding 198 hectares of Carbon Forest (CF) in San Jose Del Monte Bulacan (SJDM) and 38 hectares in Alviera, bringing the total land area to 822 hectares across the Philippines. Of the eight (8) CF’s, four are currently under the management of Ayala Land estates while the rest are managed through the continued partnerships with nongovernment and people’s organizations who ensure nurturing and maintenance of the carbon stock in each CF using Assisted Natural Regeneration (ANR) as restoration approach.

Ayala Land Expanding Carbon Forests

Verification of Carbon Stock 

In 2022, carbon stock from four carbon forest sites were measured and verified to have yielded an offset of 8,732 tCO2e.

Ayala land will continue to conduct measurement, reporting, and verification of each carbon forest every five years from the time they were planted. The next measurement is scheduled in 2025 for San Jose Del Monte (SJDM) CF.

Ayala Land aims to increase our carbon forests in and around our developments, as a key strategy to ensure the removal of any residual emissions by 2050, in line with our commitment to achieve Net Zero GHG Emissions. 

Rewilding Forests through Strategic Partnerships

Through engagements with ALI employees, partners, and other stakeholders, volunteers were mobilized to participate in reforestation activities in our Carbon Forests. Overall, 38,166 native trees were planted across 38 hectares, bringing the total number of trees planted to over 280,000 across 224 hectares since 2018.
