The Cebu-based employees planted 12,000 native tree seedlings in Barangay Pamutan, Cebu City as part of the Aboitiz Group’s A-Park Sustainability Initiative. The STP is their contribution in helping restore the country’s forest cover and biodiversity as well as shrink their overall carbon footprint. It also forms part of the group’s commitment to grow nine million trees by 2020.

Employee-volunteers from Luzon and Mindanao also engaged in tree planting activities which brought the total number of seedlings planted to 95,000 this year. So far, the Aboitiz Group has already grown over six million trees in various locations nationwide and is well on track to planting nine million more seedlings by end of 2020.

In addition to their annual STP event, the Aboitiz Group also take part in year-round reforestation activities nationwide. Their commitment encompasses nearly four decades of watershed development in looking after the country’s forest lands. They also have their carbon management programs that anchor their collective response to the global call of carbon emissions reduction by providing livelihood opportunities to their host communities.
