The awards were presented during the 9th Cordillera Environment Summit, held as part of the culmination of Philippine Environment Month 2026.

Under the Best Adherence to Discipline for Advancing National Green-governance (BADANG) recognition program, the mall received the Excellence in Wastewater Treatment and Water Conservation Award and the Environmental IEC Leadership Award.
