Ortigas Malls and Shell Philippines are strengthening their commitment to reducing carbon emissions in the Philippines by setting up the first Shell Recharge Station, an electric vehicle (EV) charging station, at Estancia Mall and Greenhills.
The EV charging station is now available for use at the first parking level of North Wing, Estancia Mall and 2/F Connecticut Arcade, Missouri Building Basement in Greenhills. There are four dedicated parking spots where motorists can recharge their vehicles while shopping and dining in Estancia and Greenhills.
Over the last few years, Ortigas Malls has implemented many green initiatives across its malls, from encouraging shoppers to bring their own bags to reduce plastic waste to hosting a monthly drive to sell upcycled items at Estancia and Greenhills.
The Shell Recharge Station is another step forward to promote sustainability and protect the environment. The installation of the EV charging stations was also done in support of the Electric Vehicle Industry Development Act (Republic Act 11697), which requires buildings and establishments to have dedicated parking slots for EVs.
“We want to do our part in contributing to a greener Philippines. We’re happy to be working with Shell, a company that’s committed to reducing carbon emissions, in setting up the EV charging station at Estancia Mall and Greenhills. Through this partnership, we want to make a positive impact to help our country reach its sustainability goals,” said architect Renee Bacani, Vice President of Ortigas Malls.
The Shell Recharge Station at Estancia Mall is free for one month at P1, North Wing, and Greenhills at 2/F Connecticut Arcade.
