Honda joins Laguna coastal clean-up

Honda Foundation, Inc. participated in the Sta. Rosa City Environment and Natural Resources Office International Coastal Clean-up Day celebration in Barangay Caingin, Sta. Rosa, Laguna.

Over 2,000 volunteers from various government offices, private companies, schools, organizations, and volunteer groups participated in an effort to highlight the value of environmental stewardship and the negative impacts that negligence may have on marine biodiversity and human health. These include but are not limited to habitat destruction and biodiversity loss. 

The coastal clean-up covered the shoreline areas of Laguna de Bay, the Philippines’ largest freshwater lake, which serves as a vital source of livelihood for many fisherfolk and a habitat for diverse fish species.

By the end of the day, participants successfully collected and segregated a total of 12,231 kilog of coastal debris that were taken  to a San Pedro dumpsite for proper disposal. HFI encourages every Filipino to join in protecting waterways and natural resources to ensure a cleaner, healthier, and more sustainable environment for generations to come.

Members of HFI are Honda Philippines, Inc. (HPI), Honda Cars Philippines, Inc. (HCPI), Honda Parts Manufacturing, Corp. (HPMC), and Honda Trading Philippines Ecozone, Corp. (HTPE). HFI was represented by a team of representatives per member group, led by HTPE president Seiki Futagoishi.
