Held at the La Mesa Watershed — Metro Manila’s critical ecological reserve — this tree planting activity reflects Okada Manila’s steadfast commitment to environmental sustainability and its continuing efforts under the Okada Green Heart program, particularly through its Talent and Community pillar, which promotes employee engagement and positive social impact.
Now in the second year of a three-year partnership with DENR, Okada Manila is entrusted with the stewardship of a one-to-two-hectare reforestation site at the watershed.
Through this initiative, the resort is nurturing 500 indigenous forest tree species as part of DENR’s “Forests for Life” campaign, which aims to plant five million trees by 2028.
On June 27, 2025, 110 team members volunteered and planted 200 seedlings to contribute to the ecological renewal of the La Mesa Watershed — a vital source of potable water for more than 12 million residents of Metro Manila.
