Nitto Denko Philippines participated in a program to clean up and restore ecotrails at Mt. Makiling on March 3, 2012. This is a volunteer activity started last year aimed at restoration of trails damaged by a typhoon in 2006. Thirteen members of the CSR team at Nitto Denko Philippines participated in the program for the first time as one of their annual CSR activities. They attended brief lecturers about forest protection before starting out and ventured on a 4 kilometer-long trek. On their way, they placed stones on a walkway for the safety of hikers and enjoyed a valuable experience, seeing big trees considered endangered and communicated with people living on the mountain. Nitto Denko Philippines will continue to implement environmental conservation activities and contribute to local areas. |
