The Philippine Economic Zone Authority (PEZA) has given the Green, Healthy, Smart, and Sustainable Ecozone Award to Lopez-led First Philippine Industrial Park (FPIP) for its “notable commitment to promoting healthy industrialization and sustainably-designed, smart, and green economic zone.”
FPIP was one of only two ecozones to receive the award – the first to be given by PEZA to honor outstanding registered economic zone locators.
PEZA opened the new Green, Healthy, Smart and Sustainable Ecozone Award category for the year 2020 ceremonies as a way to encourage ecozone developers to, among other things, “design ecozone towards sustainability and a decarbonized future;” and “adopt clean and green technologies/methodologies” that would make ecozone operations “more efficient and environment-friendly.”
