ANYA Resort Tagaytay has finalized an agreement with the First Gen Group to transition the resort’s power supply to renewable energy (RE), reaffirming its commitment to environmental stewardship and sustainability as it celebrates its ninth anniversary.
The agreement calls for direct supply of geothermal energy from First Gen’s Unified Leyte facilities to power the 7.2-hectare leisure and wellness estate owned by Roxaco Land Corporation in Tagaytay City.
Anya Resort Tagaytay and First Gen officials marked the partnership by planting together a narra tree at the resort’s Tala Garden to signify their collaboration and shared commitment to protecting nature and a regenerative future.
“Sustainability and environmental consciousness are not just goals for us at Anya, but practices we integrate in various aspects of our operation. Energy efficiency is a top priority for us as we aim to significantly reduce the carbon intensity of our electricity usage,” said Mikel Arriet, Anya Resort Tagaytay general manager.
“Using geothermal power for the resort is not just a cost management measure, but also a boost in reducing our carbon footprint, while ensuring unhampered comfort and conveniences for our guests; and we’re pleased that we have finally been able to accomplish this in partnership with First Gen,” said Melody Amacio, Anya Resort Tagaytay Resort manager.
“We are committed to supporting Anya Resort Tagaytay and the Roxaco Land team in achieving decarbonization goals by using RE supply and improve energy efficiency and utilization. It’s always an honor for us to collaborate with organizations who want to make conscious choices toward sustainability,” said Arlene Soriano, First Gen head of sales and engagement.
