<< Our Social Commitment

Pitching in on the global effort to protect the environment, a group of employees from the Cebu office of Aboitiz-owned Pilmico Foods Corporation headed off to the wetland sanctuary of Olango Island last April for a day of mangrove planting.

Located off the eastern side of Cebu and just 5 kilometers away from Mactan Island, Olango is site of a 920-hectare protected wetland that is home to thousands of migratory birds every year.

Determined to help preserve the sanctuary, the 26-strong Pilmico team hit the shores of San Vicente, a barangay in the southwestern part of the island. Armed with about 10,000 mangrove propagules, the group successfully planted at least 7,500 propagules over a hectare of mangrove area.

The successful mangrove planting activity was done in coordination with the Philippine Business for Social Progress, a non-profit foundation that supports sustainable development in Olango.

Pilmico Foods Corporation is a wholly owned subsidiary of Aboitiz Equity Ventures Inc., and has been providing Filipinos with high quality flour for over 40 years now.
