American Data Exchange Volunteers for Tree Day Strengthening "Green" Awareness and Corporate Social Responsibility
August 20, 2011 - American Data Exchange employees participated in the Tree Day at the Marikina Watershed, held last August 20. In support of the company's Environmental Management Systems and its ISO 17001 Certification, 61 employees from American Data Exchange volunteered to participate in the initiative.
The Marikina Watershed Rehabilitation consists of 4 municipalities located in Antipolo, San Mateo, Rodriguez and Tanay. It has an area of approximately 28,000 hectares, with estimated 20% remaining forest cover, or an equivalent of 5,600 hectares. This particular reforestation project will still need 6.7 million trees to be planted to reach their objective.
The employee volunteers bussed to the site, trekked 1.5 hours, identified stick markers in the area and replanted seedlings from polybags to the site's prepared holes prior to covering them with soil. They planted tree seedlings to help towards the objective of planting an additional 24% (9,520) hectares of forest cover to achieve a sustainable level of 54% cover.
The annual tree planting efforts of American Data Exchange, since 2009, was initially done in Caliraya, Laguna; in the La Mesa Nature Reserve and Eco Park in 2010; before joining in the Marikina Watershed Rehabilitation this year. The annual exercise brings sustainability and "green" awareness and Corporate Social responsibility "CSR" to a higher level within American Data Exchange and the ADEC Group of Companies.
