Plant Today, Reap Tomorrow Project – Philippines

Protecting Our Climate

Coastal areas in Samal, Bataan Province—specifically in Calaguiman and Sapa barangays—face high risks from natural disasters and coastal erosion due to climate change and the decline of mangrove cover. Over the past decade, from 2014 to the present, the Company has undertaken ecosystem restoration efforts by planting over 61,200 mangrove trees, covering an area of 8.3 hectares. This initiative aims to rehabilitate degraded lands, establish nature-based solutions as natural barriers against floods and storm surges, and support sustainable livelihoods for local communities. The project has fostered engagement with communities, schools, local government units (LGUs), and government agencies, involving over 3,200 participants.
