If you think luxury and sustainability don’t mix, The Peninsula Manila is here to prove you wrong. Nestled in the vibrant business district of Makati, this iconic five-star hotel has just made a bold move that’s turning heads in both the hospitality and environmental circles: it’s now fully powered by renewable energy.
In a 12-year partnership with MPower, the retail electricity arm of Meralco, The Peninsula Manila has committed to sourcing 100% of its electricity from clean, renewable sources. This makes it the fourth property globally, and only the second in Southeast Asia, within The Peninsula Hotels group to go fully green. The initiative is part of the hotel’s ambitious “Sustainable Luxury Vision 2030,” a roadmap launched in 2021 to reduce environmental impact while elevating guest experiences.
“This collaboration reflects our shared commitment to innovation and environmental stewardship,” said Kevin Tsang, Hotel Director of The Peninsula Manila. “Our partnership serves as a benchmark for responsible business practices and inspires others to pursue a greener world for our future generations.”
MPower, which holds over 25% of the market share in the Philippines’ competitive retail electricity sector, has been a long-time partner of the hotel. Now, that relationship has evolved into a full-fledged sustainability alliance, one that sets a precedent for other high-end establishments in the region.
The Peninsula Manila’s green shift aligns with a growing global trend: travelers are increasingly choosing eco-conscious accommodations that don’t compromise on comfort or quality. From energy-efficient systems to waste reduction and community engagement, the hotel is weaving sustainability into every corner of its operations.
So whether you’re planning a business trip, a romantic getaway, or a well-deserved staycation, The Peninsula Manila offers a guilt-free indulgence that’s as good for the planet as it is for your soul.
