CEMSI Tree Planting Program

In 2021, Cleanway Environmental Management Solutions, Inc. (CEMSI) conducted several tree planting activities with its industry partners and business affiliates. At the start of the year, the CEMSI Tarlac Plant held its first tree planting activity within its 2.2 hectare property. Trees suitable to the climate of Capas, Tarlac were chosen to provide the overall masterplan with greenery. CEMSI Managing Director Jose Exiquel A. Esguerra led the team to get their hands dirty to re-green the Capas’ integrataed hazardous waste management facility with its 100 seedlings. Come mid-year, the CEMSI Cavite plant coordinated with the First Philippine Industrial Park in Batangas last June 29 for a donation of more than 200 molave seedlings to be propagated in the premier industrial estate. It is also part of CEMSI’s advocacy to support its clients on their environmental efforts. Down south, Cleanaway Philippines, Inc. (CPI) located in Leyte Industrial Development Estate (LIDE) Isabel, Leyte planted several seedlings in its 5-hectare hazardous waste treatment facility at the end of September. Capping the year, CEMSI joined force with its affiliates: HSTC, ESHCorp and FPCI for a mangrove tree planting activoity in Lian Mangrove Conservation Park on November 26. The Maritime and Environmental Divisions of the Herma Group coordinated with the MENRO of Lian for the annual mangrove planting of 500 young mangrove shoots. Here, the local fishing community provided the propagules and assisted the team in a seaside journey during low tide .
