Aware of the huge impact of construction and development on the environment, Victor Consunji Development Corp. has endeavored to make all its project sustainable since the beginning.
Even after building a reputation as a niche developer of luxury homes and some of the most coveted real estate development projects in the country, Victor Consunji Development Corp. (VCDC) is not about to rest on its laurels. And despite the supposed slowdown brought about by the pandemic on countless number of industries, the company is now incorporating an integral addition to its development that will produce more benefits for homeowners and the environment.
“The drive toward sustainability is at the core of our developments way back when we started. For instance, the structural integrity of our houses guarantees stability and safety with less maintenance as possible. Our houses are built on solid foundations to outlast any natural calamity, especially here in the Philippines. The building materials are fireproof, termite-resistant and use less amount of wood, making homes easy to handle and environment-friendly. That is how we can ensure our homeowners that their houses are built to last for generations,” says Victor Consunji, CEO of VCDC.

VCDC, or the Victor Consunji Development Corp., is steadily gaining ground not only as a niche developer of coveted projects in the country; it is now carving a reputation as a sustainable developer conscious of its carbon footprint.
“The drive toward sustainability is at the core of our developments way back when we started,” said Victor Consunji, CEO. “We are aware of the huge impact of construction and development to our environment, so we make sure to implement green practices that are widely implemented and meet the best-of-world standards.”
The commitment of VCDC to the environment is not just lip service as it is proactive in the search of like-minded partners that would further enhance the sustainability mission of VCDC. One of its newest partnerships was forged with Renesource, a company that empowers Filipino homeowners and businesses by lowering their carbon footprint, as well as their energy costs.
“It was very timely for us to partner with Renesource, considering all the calls for us to help save the planet amid the pandemic,” said Consunji. “Renesource would bring in its expertise to help us reduce, or gradually eradicate, the carbon footprint of our construction activities. They would also help us educate our homeowners so they, too, would benefit from energy savings.”

Conventional wisdom often paints the power sector as a “game for the big boys” – but in the country’s lofty ‘energy transition’ goal, even the “David-like players” are leading the way.
They may not be as gigantic as their counterpart-conglomerates in terms of track record and longevity, financial muscle and even human resources, but several start-ups or emerging companies in the renewable energy (RE) sector are equally razor-sharp and passionate about advancing their blueprinted projects to commercial developments. And on the bigger facet of business goalposts, there is that fervent desire for these companies to become part of the country’s elusive quest for energy security and sustainability that are heavily anchored on protecting the environment.
