APF Cebu organizes Mangrove Planting: Sustaining the Environment, Marching on to 2030
Eat Well, Live Well Towards a Better Tomorrow: Over 100 Ajinomoto employees in Cebu planted 1,200 mangrove trees in Barangay Day-as, Cordova, Cebu, in celebration of its 20th anniversary.
Flavor Food Inc. Ajinomoto Philippines Inc. Cebu, also known as APF Cebu, commemorates its 20 years!
APF Cebu held a mangrove tree planting event with the theme “Mangrove Planting: Sustaining the Environment, Marching on to 2030” to commemorate the company’s expansion and changes since its founding in 2004. This project, which honors 20 years of excellence in the food business, is a tribute to APF Cebu’s dedication to sustainability and community engagement.
1,200 mangrove saplings were planted by more than a hundred APF Cebu workers who joined the Fisher Folk Organization of Barangay Day-as in Cordova, Cebu. This is to recognize the significant role these trees play in preventing erosion along our shorelines. By offering homes for aquatic creatures, they also improve the biodiversity of the regions.
Led by APC Group President Mr. Koichi Ozaki, Vice President Mr. Makoto Tanabe, APF Bulacan Factory Director Mr. Juanito Ramos Jr. and APF Cebu Factory Manager Mr. Teodoro Wong Jr., a total of 1,200 pieces of mangroves were planted. This is a significant number to help strengthen the coastal ecosystem restoration of Barangay Day-as.
WIN-WIN partnership: APF Cebu employees joined the Fisher Folk Organization of Barangay Day-as in Cordova, Cebu to strengthen the coastal ecosystem restoration of the area.
Last year, APF Cebu also conducted a similar planting activity in another strategic location in Cebu. This was done in Barangay Calawisan in Lapu-Lapu City, where the saplings have now shown significant growth as they have established strong roots in the coastal soil. This year’s mangrove planting is another promising activity that will be sustained through continuous monitoring to add to the number of the existing mangroves in these areas.
TEAMWORK: APF Cebu employees are all smiles while they plant together to fulfill the company’s commitment to sustainability and community engagement as they march on to Roadmap 2030.
Following the outdoor event, the APF Cebu headquarters hosted a mass of appreciation to show the company’s gratitude for 20 years of consistent and successful operations. Following mass, there was a formal program that featured remarks of inspiration and congratulations from Ajinomoto Philippines’ top management. This occasion was made even more joyous by the participation of talented employees and the sharing of anecdotes from long-tenured Ka-Aji’s (a name affectionately used by Ajinomoto Philippines employees to refer to their colleagues).
In order to achieve Roadmap 2030, APF Cebu will keep pursuing expansion, stable operations, participation in environmental initiatives, and community outreach while consistently delivering high-quality goods that uphold Ajinomoto’s motto of Eat Well, Live Well!
