Cebu Exchange Makes History as the World’s Largest EDGE Zero Carbon Certified Project

Cebu City, Philippines – It is official. Cebu Exchange has achieved something no other building of its size in the world ever has: the prestigious EDGE Zero Carbon Certification.

This milestone affirms ARTHALAND’s position at the forefront of sustainable real estate. It also signals what is now possible when ambition is matched with integrity, discipline, and design excellence.

Cebu Exchange decarbonized 7,300 metric tons of carbon dioxide in 2024 alone. That is equivalent to the growth of 118,000 mature trees, or the protection of 2,900 hectares of forest land. As the building reaches full operation, its decarbonization impact is expected to increase even further. Every square meter of this building was made to serve not only the present, but the future.

Cebu Exchange, a PEZA-accredited I.T. Center, is the world’s largest Net Zero Carbon certified building. This premier office complex, strategically nestled in the heart of Cebu City’s bustling business district, boasts a competitive CUSA Fee, LEED Gold certification, and a BERDE 5-Star rating. It offers cutting-edge facilities like efficient elevators, backup generators, and fiber-optic telecommunications, ensuring a seamless and efficient workspace. Its prime location provides access to a vibrant business community, networking opportunities, and a pool of talented professionals. Cebu Exchange is now a major landmark in Cebu and a global reference point in sustainable development.

Oliver L. Chan, Senior Vice President and Chief Sustainability Officer of ARTHALAND, said, “We spent years building this with intention. No shortcuts, no compromises. That’s why this net zero certification matters. It confirms that our work delivers real climate impact. At this scale, that impact is powerful. Cebu Exchange is now a global benchmark, and we built it together.”
