The International Finance Corporation grants us the recognition of EDGE Champion.
At JAVER, we strive to always stay current on sustainability issues to have a positive impact on our planet and provide benefits to our customers.
In 2022, we certified our Muriel Residencial and Jardines de Magnolias 3 projects as EDGE for the first time. This certification promotes the efficiency of water, energy, and materials resources in our developments. As a result, 1,880 homes in Nuevo León and the State of Mexico will contribute significant savings to our customers in consumption and payment of services.
The International Finance Corporation (IFC), a member of the World Bank Group and the principal international development institution focused on the private sector in emerging markets, has awarded us the recognition of EDGE Champion. This recognition is given to companies that certify 80% of their portfolio or more than 200,000 square meters of sustainable housing.
In 2023, our commitment to sustainability and decarbonization materializes with the project to certify more than 10,000 homes distributed across 14 projects by 2025.
EDGE Champions Summit
The award was presented on October 25 during the "EDGE Champions Summit," organized by the IFC in Washington D.C., where sustainability and finance experts offered various panels and conferences. Over 20 companies from the construction industry committed to certifying large amounts of square meters as EDGE participated in the event.
Representatives from our Operations teams and environmental experts attended the ceremony. Our Director of Planning, Investor Relations, and Corporate Social Responsibility accepted the recognition. "We recognize that humanity faces a great environmental challenge to overcome, which is why we are working to decarbonize the real estate sector in Mexico. I am glad to be in this room surrounded by people who are taking action to achieve this," she commented.
At JAVER, we are committed to decarbonizing our projects through this certification, which is part of our 12 environmental programs. In this way, we not only protect the environment but also offer better places for our customers to live.
