We act with purpose

“As a father, I believe the little choices we make today can influence the kind of future our kids grow up in. Joining the tree-planting activity wasn’t just a simple act—it was a statement of responsibility,” Lajom said. “Every tree we plant is a step toward a more livable, sustainable future. I’m proud to be part of a team that doesn’t just talk about sustainability—we act with purpose. Being involved in initiatives like this reinforces our shared commitment to protecting the environment for generations to come.”

Sodexo Philippines has long championed sustainability through programs that strengthen the agricultural sector, reduce environmental impact, and promote local sourcing. The Bulacan tree-planting drive adds to these efforts, symbolizing the company’s commitment to tangible action in building a greener future for communities it serves.

By collaborating with organizations like GreenEarth Heritage Foundation, Sodexo continues to show that sustainability is not a one-time initiative but an ongoing commitment to protecting the planet for future generations.
