February 24, 2018

Hyundai Asia Resources Inc (HARI), the official distributor of Hyundai vehicles in the country, has been hard at work not only selling vehicles but pushing initiatives to promote sustainable development. The Korean carmaker’s Philippine arm has been a staunch advocate of environmental protection, as seen from its various programs and campaigns held during the past few years.

One of the major highlights of its push for a clean and green Philippines is its Hyundai Logistics Center in Calamba, Laguna garnering the Kamagong Award from the Philippine Green Buildings Initiative. Designed by architect and historic conservationist Dominic Galicia, the HARI facility is considered as one of the greenest and most energy efficient structures in the country today.

In line with this, Hyundai’s 42 dealerships across the country are now batting for GREEN ratings from the PGBI. This means that they are pushing to be truly green in terms of energy efficiency and water conservation.  Other future plans for the company include putting up a car museum and a Hyundai Training Center that will hone the skills of deserving students to be future technicians and staff of the company and other world-class entities.

Yes, Hyundai isn’t just committed to selling quality vehicles but is likewise bent on making sure that these offerings have a safe and clean environment to move around in.

A champion for sustainability. Hyundai Asia Resources, Inc. (HARI) counts over a decade of engaging in public-private partnerships that have resulted in long-term solutions to the impact of climate change in the country and in ASEAN. Notable efforts include (clockwise, from bottom left) the Hyundai Logistics Center (HLC) in Calamba, the country’s pioneering green logistics center; the Rain Water Harvesting System which addresses water scarcity in Tanay, Rizal; the Hyundai New Thinkers Circuit (HNTC) program which aims to nurture leadership among the youth in building a climate change resilient Philippines; and partnership with the ASEAN Centre for Biodiversity, supporting the work of the 10 ASEAN Biodiversity Heroes for 2017.
