LG Electronics Philippines (LGEPH), in collaboration with the City Environment and Natural Resources Office (CENRO) of Pasig City, celebrated World Environment Day by organizing a tree planting activity. The event, held on June 5, 2023, aimed to promote environmental conservation and sustainability in the community.
World Environment Day, established by the United Nations in 1972, serves as a global platform to raise awareness about the importance of protecting the environment and natural resources. Recognizing this crucial initiative, LGEPH Managing Director, Mr. Sungjae Kim, expressed gratitude to the volunteers for their participation in the tree planting activity.
“Our goal is to create a more nature-friendly environment, ensuring a sustainable community in the long run,” stated Sungjae Kim during his opening remarks. “LG has always been committed to making the world a better place, and this event reflects our dedication to environmental stewardship.”
The tree planting activity saw the active involvement of 51 LGEPH employees, including the Managing Director, CFO, and Product Directors. They were joined by 10 volunteers from the CENRO of the Pasig City government, forming a collaborative effort to make a positive impact on the local environment.
A total of 350 saplings were planted, comprising various tree species. The selection of trees included 50 Salingogon Trees, 50 Bougainvillea, 10 African Talisay, and 240 Pintabebua. These saplings will contribute to the beautification and enhancement of the local ecosystem.
