On October 19, 2024, Sharp Philippines Corporation successfully planted 450 Narra trees in the stunning surroundings of Mt. Makiling in Sto Tomas, Batangas, as part of its tree planting initiative titled “Be Sharp, Plant a Tree for a Greener Future.” This initiative aligned with Sharp’s Eco Vision 2050, which reflects the company’s commitment to environmental sustainability and community engagement. This vision aims to be one with the community by minimizing the environmental impact of different business activities.
The “Be Sharp, Plant a Tree for a Greener Future” initiative focused on planting trees to improve air quality, provide habitat for various species, mitigate the effects of climate change, and contribute to the achievement of a greener and healthier earth. Sharp Philippines partnered with Asia Society for Social Improvement and Sustainable Transformation, Inc. (ASSIST) to successfully plant Narra trees, which are known as the Philippine National Tree and also play a very important role in the environment.
A total of 30 Sharp employees from different departments volunteered for the activity, including Ms. Marlene Villarino, the Assistant Vice President for Marketing, and the Senior Manager, Ms. Amor Golifardo. Their participation highlighted the company’s corporate social responsibility and commitment, which is to make a positive impact on the environment. Sharp volunteers received an orientation, briefing, and training from the partner organization and the Department of Environment and Natural Resources (DENR) on the importance of this initiative and the proper tree planting process, ensuring that it would thrive. The activity built good teamwork and community spirit among volunteers, who worked together to achieve a common goal. The tree planting initiative is a testament to this commitment, as it not only helps the environment but also inspires Sharp employees to be aware and continue caring for the environment.
The successful planting of these 450 Narra trees marked another significant milestone in Sharp’s ongoing efforts to contribute positively to the environment. As a committed brand, it’s not just a company that sells products to its customers; it is a company that embodies its dedication to the importance of conservation and sustainability. Sharp Philippines will continue to inspire collective action and raise awareness about the importance of caring for the earth and the next generation. Together, let’s make an impact be part of the solution, and reach our one goal: to make our home, the Earth, a better place to live.
