Hyundai Motor Philippines Inc. (HMPH) partnered with Ramon Aboitiz Foundation Inc. (RAFI) for “Dream Green”, a tree-growing project where the brand aims to plant 5,000 mangroves in Brgy. Lumaniag, Lian, Batangas by the end of 2024. This is in line with Hyundai’s global vision, “Progress for Humanity”, which drives the brand to create meaningful change, not just through its vehicle line-up but also through initiatives that enrich lives and sustain the environment.
Last November 29, HMPH employees together with RAFI and Samahan ng mga Mandaragat sa Sulok (SAMLOK) worked together to plant the first batch of mangroves. “Dream Green” is a local initiative of Hyundai Motor Company’s global campaign where Hyundai subsidiaries from around the globe plant trees named under the “IONIQ Forest”, coined from the IONIQ brand which represents Hyundai’s dedication to building a better world through a cleaner and more sustainable lifestyle.
Present at the activity were HMPH Executives Mr. Jiho Son, President; Mr. Cecil Capacete, Managing Director; and Mr. Hongshik Chin, Chief Financial Officer. Also in attendance were representatives from RAFI’s Management, Ms. Amaya Cristina A. Fansler, CEO and President, Ms. Mariefe del Mundo Community and Stakeholder Engagement Manager. Honorable Edgar J. Johnson, Chairman of Brgy. Lumaniag, was also present, as well as representatives from the Provincial Government Environmental and Natural Resources Office (PGENRO), and Municipal Environment and Natural Resources Office (MENRO).
“Today is just one of the many examples of how our vision extends far beyond being an automotive company. We feel a strong responsibility to contribute to a more sustainable future for all. This belief is what inspired HMPH to take part in this project where we aim to plant 5,000 mangroves today as part of 55,000 trees by 2028 in our roadmap. We look forward to achieving this goal alongside the Ramon Aboitiz Foundation.” said HMPH President, Mr. Jiho Son.
