To collaborate for a greener future, Mitsubishi Electric Corporation and local affiliate International Elevator & Equipment, Inc. supported Knights of Columbus’ tree-planting activity called “Faith in Action: Save the Earth, Plant a Tree” which was recently held in the Grotto Area of the National Bilibid Prison Reservation in Barangay Poblacion, Muntinlupa City. 

Employees, executives, and partners of Mitsubishi Electric and IEE volunteered in the planting of a thousand alibangbang, duhat, and langka seeds. 

Participating in the activity is part of Mitsubishi Electric’s commitment to carbon reduction and biodiversity preservation in the Philippines and the Asia Pacific region which is espoused in the company’s Environmental Vision 2021. 

“Our goal is to be a leading ‘green’ company that contributes to the safety, security, and comfort as well as sustainability of communities,” said Katsumi Fujisaki, General Manager of the Mitsubishi Electric Asia Pte Ltd Environmental Strategy. 

The company draws up an Environmental Plan every three years to implement its advocacy. In 2018, program pillars were identified that focused on creating low carbon societies, recycling-based communities, harmony with nature, and strengthening environmental preservation capabilities.

“Our biodiversity preservation activities have expanded to almost all Mitsubishi Electric business sites. The planet needs to be protected for future generations and we’re doing our part by manufacturing eco-efficient products and by planting trees which is equally important,” emphasized Fujisaki. 

In 2017, Mitsubishi Electric embarked on a tree planting activity in Tayak Hills in Rizal, Laguna. 

This year, the company supported Knights of Columbus which is a global Catholic-based fraternal organization engaged in charity and a broad range of services to fellow members and to those in need. Environment-related activities are part of Knights of Columbus Luzon Jurisdiction’s schedule of activities every year, including Linis Kalikasan or the Coastal Cleanup in the Las Piñas-Parañaque Critical Habitat and Ecotourism Area, in cooperation with the Department of Environment and Natural Resources.
