LRMC pushes forward with sustainability initiatives, Adopts 2 hectares for reforestation in Ipo Watershed

Private operator of LRT-1 Light Rail Manila Corporation (LRMC) pushes on with its sustainability journey by taking part in the fight against climate change and its impact.

LRMC has adopted a two hectare-site (equal to 800 trees) with one year maintenance as part of its support to the Plant for Life, the annual program of its MVP Group sister company Maynilad Water Services, Inc. (Maynilad). Plant for Life was established in 2007 with the goal of planting 10,000 trees every year during the rainy season in Ipo Watershed, Bulacan. Prone to denudation due to illegal logging, forest fires, and kaingin deforestation, the 7250-hectare watershed is the source of 90% of Maynilad’s raw water. Reforestation is crucial to secure its water supply, as well as ensure the quality and quantity for its service areas in Metro Manila. To date, Maynilad has already planted over 550,000 trees in Ipo Watershed, sequestering over 9,200 tons of carbon dioxide.
