27 August 2016, Siniloan, Laguna. Fujitsu Ten Solutions Philippines, Inc. (FTSPI) today planted 840 indigenous Philippine tree seedlings* with FEED and “Living Legacy: Plant a Tree, FEED Our Future” partner University of the Philippines Los Baños (UPLB), as part of their  environmental advocacies under the Environmental Management System (EMS) Program of Fujitsu led by their management with a total of 38 participants.

*The species planted are listed below, and form part of a larger scale master plan documented by the UPLB covering the over 9,000 hectares of forest cover undergoing preservation and restoration efforts since the 1930’s when the land was granted by the Philippine Government to the University by virtue of Republic Act 3608 – covering two land grant areas in the southern portion of the Sierra Madre mountain ranges, namely the Laguna-Quezon Land Grant (LQLG) and the Laguna Land Grant (LLG), collectively referred to as the UP Sierra Madre Land Grants.

Thanks to Fujitsu for planting Living Legacies, another hectare of Philippine forest cover was restored in the Sierra Madre Mountain range, thereby also contributing to the Philippine target to offset our carbon emissions 70% by 2030 by the following eco-warriors:

“This activity is one way to payback the goods we used and received from the environment.” – Jobal Docot

“This is the least I can contribute in helping to campaign about saving our forest.” -Jose Martin

“This is the first time I learned that the (Philippine) law requires us to plant a number of trees in our lifetime. Our small little ways of conserving and rehabilitating the environment surely have a big effect on future generations.” – Ancel John Tarras

“I am proud that, as an individual, I contributed to the restoration of nature.”
– Jayson Dorigo

“Our country experienced a lot of calamities because we have no more trees to protect us. I felt as an individual I have a responsibility to help by planting them. It is my privilege to handle this activity for FTSPI and work together with FEED.” – Rowena Glipo

Tree planting comprises only a part of FTSPI’s CSR program, which also covers Health, Education, Livelihood and Community Development initiatives (see image), part of the Group’s broader endeavors to help hold the increase in the global average temperature to well below 2 degree Celsius, as adopted in the Paris Agreement at COP21, while striving to achieve zero emissions as a long term goal.
