Filinvest officers and partners join the tree planting at Fora Tagaytay.

Filinvest officers, employees, partners and investors in various project sites in Luzon come together in what is envisioned to be the company’s tradition of giving back to nature through an annual tree planting event, Keep It Green. Different native tree species were planted across Filinvest development areas to promote a cleaner and greener environment.

Keep It Green has planted some five thousand seedlings of native tree species in projects sites in Laguna, Cavite, Bulacan, Pampanga, Tarlac, Rizal and Palawan since its inception in 2012.

To encourage other stakeholders, Keep It Green has also launched an adopt-a-tree program, where a hundred peso donation entitles the donor for a tree sapling to be planted in their name. Proceeds from these are then donated to various charitable institutions such as Kanlungan ni Maria and Red Blanket Initiative.

To further strengthen its environmental advocacy, Filinvest plans to duplicate the Keep It Green initiative in all of its projects sites in Visayas and Mindanao in future.
