Ulticon Builders Inc. continues to lead by example in the Philippine construction industry. Its success goes beyond physical structures. The company stands firm on its belief that true development means taking care of the environment and the communities it serves.
At the 2025 Northern Mindanao Environmental Summit in Cagayan de Oro, Ulticon received aPlaque of Appreciation from the Department of Environment and Natural Resources Region X. The recognition highlights the company’s strong commitment to environmental protection and responsible waste management across its operations.
The award was received by Ulticon’s Pollution Control Officers Marlo Mission, Bheberhim Nodado, and Felaine Mae Tañola. Their presence at the summit represents not just a formal acknowledgment but the genuine work they do daily to improve environmental practices at every project site.
Ulticon does not see sustainability as a marketing strategy. It is an operational reality and a culture practiced across all departments. The company’s ISO 14001:2015 Environmental Management Systems certification reflects its dedication to going beyond regulatory requirements.
Environmental programs are implemented across Luzon, Visayas, and Mindanao. From construction sites to corporate offices, the focus remains on minimizing environmental impact while delivering high-quality infrastructure. Solid waste segregation, fuel efficiency programs, water reuse systems, and vegetation restoration are integrated into site operations.
Chairman and co-founder Carlos “Charlie” Gonzalez Ulticon has long believed that meaningful growth should create opportunities without leaving negative impacts behind. This DENR recognition confirms that Ulticon’s vision is both achievable and sustainable.
The summit was not only a space for recognition but also a platform for exchanging ideas. Ulticon’s Pollution Control Officers joined technical sessions that explored innovations in waste management, including Extended Producer Responsibility and Waste-to-Energy technologies.
These discussions helped deepen their understanding of evolving national policies and grassroots solutions. The officers brought back new knowledge that will now be embedded in Ulticon’s environmental monitoring programs. This includes site-specific adjustments in emission control, waste tracking, and training programs for construction teams.
What was especially relevant to the company’s work was the emphasis on localized, community-based waste solutions. Ulticon has always worked closely with local government units and barangay councils. Aligning engineering goals with community priorities has helped the company maintain good relationships and positive impact in the areas where it builds.
Ulticon Builders has made conscious efforts to build a sustainability model that works on the ground. It’s one thing to develop policies. It’s another to make them work across hundreds of sites and thousands of personnel.
With dedicated environmental professionals in each region, Ulticon has achieved consistency in implementing waste reduction, biodiversity conservation, and water management practices. More importantly, it continues to adapt and evolve. Every project becomes a testing ground for smarter solutions and improved practices.
This flexibility has helped the company scale responsibly and expand into new areas. Its proactive measures also prevent common industry issues. While other firms may face setbacks due to inconsistent records or delays, Ulticon maintains a solid track record through verified processes and community trust.
Ulticon Builders Inc. takes pride in implementing responsible construction practices that prioritize environmental impact. Compliance audits, regular reporting, and site inspections are part of the company’s standard operations, ensuring that environmental protocols are embedded into daily project execution.
Across multiple regions where UBI operates, consistency in documentation and visible results has built trust with both government partners and local communities. Maintaining this level of transparency has been key to avoiding setbacks that could delay delivery or disrupt community engagement. Even the slightest gap in reporting can trigger questions that no serious builder can afford, which is why Ulticon ensures every milestone is properly recorded. In an industry where a single ghost project can damage reputations, Ulticon’s proactive approach keeps it firmly aligned with public expectations and environmental standards.
Ulticon recognizes that policy means nothing without people. The Pollution Control Officers who
represented the company at the summit are examples of this belief in action. They bring technical knowledge, field experience, and leadership to the daily work of making construction sites cleaner and safer.
Through hands-on supervision, regular audits, and site training, they help ensure that Ulticon’s environmental policies are followed consistently. They also serve as liaisons with government agencies and community stakeholders, making sure that every project meets expectations and standards.
Their efforts are part of what helped Ulticon gain recognition at the regional level. This award is a shared success, built on collaboration, consistency, and commitment.
For years, the construction industry has been criticized for its environmental footprint. Ulticon is proving that with the right systems and mindset, large-scale construction can support sustainability goals.
The company uses equipment that meets emission standards and implements logistics systems that reduce fuel use. Construction materials are sourced with environmental impact in mind. Waste from job sites is either repurposed, recycled, or disposed of in compliance with DENR guidelines.
Community engagement is also part of the process. From coastal clean-ups to school-based solid waste education programs, Ulticon actively supports initiatives that strengthen awareness and encourage participation.
This holistic approach is why Ulticon remains trusted by its partners, clients, and local communities. The construction sector needs leaders who are willing to build smarter, and Ulticon is setting the pace.
Accountability is at the heart of Ulticon’s culture. It guides every part of the process, from planning to execution. Every project is subject to environmental reviews, regular site audits, and coordination with local DENR offices.
These checks are not seen as obstacles but as opportunities for improvement. The company believes that growth should never come at the expense of integrity.
Through consistent performance, reliable documentation, and community-focused initiatives, Ulticon shows that sustainable infrastructure is not only possible—it’s essential.
Ulticon Builders views the Northern Mindanao Environmental Summit not as an endpoint but a, starting point for further innovation. The knowledge gained from the event will support the development of new tools for tracking environmental performance across project sites.
In the coming year, Ulticon will also strengthen its training programs and community engagements. Plans are underway to launch a new internal reporting platform that allows field teams to log real-time data on site emissions, waste volume, and compliance updates.
The summit also reinforced the importance of partnerships. Ulticon will continue to collaborate with regulatory bodies, LGUs, and community groups. Together, they will promote a shared responsibility for protecting natural resources while pursuing national infrastructure goals.
The recognition from DENR Region X affirms that Ulticon Builders is on the right path. More than a plaque, it is a symbol of trust and a challenge to keep improving. With a growing team, solid leadership, and a clear vision, Ulticon is prepared to build a future where development and environmental stewardship go hand in hand.
Led by Carlos “Charlie” Gonzalez Ulticon, the company will continue to expand its impact through honest work, innovative systems, and respect for the communities and ecosystems that surround every project.
What Ulticon builds is more than infrastructure. It builds trust, opportunity, and a better tomorrow.
