With the working theme ‘Sustainability Starts with Me,’ the tree-planting initiative aims to plant a million trees within the premises of Tagaytay Highlands by the year 2040. According to Belle Corporation President and CEO Manuel A. Gana, the program has already planted about half a million trees. “Together, we can reach that goal and help preserve our nature,” he said.
Senior Vice President-Real Estate Business Unit Head Lennie A. Mendoza reminded all participants of the importance of sustainability efforts in conducting business. Meanwhile, Club President Jerry Tiu said tree-planting is always an important activity. “This is an opportunity for all of us to take a few hours of break from our usually hectic work schedule to come up here and help further nurture our nature.”
