At Monroe Consulting Philippines, we're not just one of the largest recruitment firms in the country, helping both clients and job seekers; we're also deeply committed to making a positive impact on our environment.
Our journey began when our Corporate Social Responsibility (CSR) team tirelessly searched for the right way to contribute.
After weeks of research, we found an amazing organization called IVolunteer. It was established in 2009 in response to natural disasters in the Philippines, and its mission is to make it easy for people to find volunteer opportunities that match their skills and interests.
Our dedication to this cause inspired 20 of our colleagues, including our Director of Operations, RPO Division Head, and Industrial Division Head, to join us in this endeavor."
Here are the primary reasons why we embarked on this initiative:
A Better Environment and Society: We believe that a healthy forest means a healthier society and a brighter future.
Fighting Climate Change and Protecting Nature: Our goal was to reduce the impact of climate change and support a more diverse ecosystem.
Helping Marginalized Communities: We aimed to create new job opportunities for communities in need.
Recovery from the Pandemic: We recognized the healing power of nature and wanted to contribute to post-pandemic recovery efforts.
Learning Opportunity: Our activities were designed to educate our volunteers about the environment.
Boosting Mental Well-being: Getting involved in tree planting had a positive effect on the mental health of our volunteers, giving them a sense of purpose and satisfaction.
Protecting the Environment: We worked to prevent soil erosion, coastal flooding, and ocean pollution.
Enhancing Coastal Protection: Our efforts helped protect coastal areas from storm surges, rising sea levels, and tsunamis.
Capturing Carbon: Healthy mangrove forests are excellent at capturing carbon, which helps combat climate change.
Raising Awareness: By actively participating in our activities, we aimed to raise awareness about the importance of mangroves and preserving healthy forests.
Our dedicated team traveled to Palanas, Batangas, where we planted over 200 seedlings in the mangrove area, even in challenging weather conditions. It was a truly fulfilling experience, knowing that in just five years, we can return to see the results of our efforts—thriving trees and a healing environment.
