The YGC Earth Care Story

The YGC Earth Care Story

The Yuchengco Group of Companies (YGC) has embarked in a forward-looking project of planting 50,000 native trees within a sprawling 100 hectares in Mt. Bangkaan in the Sierra Madre, the longest mountain range in the Philippines.

Such a massive project will benefit not only Sierra Madre’s biodiversity but also the entire population of Greater Metro Manila, from a sustainable watershed protection.

In 2011, the YGC Earth Care Project was born, in partnership with the Department of Environment and Natural Resources (DENR) and the Indigenous People (IP) of Tanay.

The objectives of the project include reforestation and watershed protection, both of which are expected to contribute to the overall well-being of Filipinos.

To date, there are 23,000 forest trees planted along the 58-hectare plant site, most of which are now over 20 feet high.
