YGC Earth Care Pioneers a Sustainable Legacy for Nature and Community

As continuous natural disasters underscore the urgency for environmental action, the private sector must step up to help restore ecosystems and promote long-term sustainability. The Yuchengco Group of Companies’ (YGC) Earth Care Project is a blueprint for genuine, long-term commitment, moving beyond simple tree planting to a comprehensive ecosystem restoration and climate risk mitigation strategy. It establishes a powerful model where a deep commitment to caring for nature also empowers communities and uplifts lives.

The initiative focuses on the restoration of previously degraded land in the heart of the Sierra Madre mountain range, adopting Mt. Bangkaan in Tanay, Rizal. Launched in 2011, the project is a centennial commitment to watershed protection and reforestation. Unlike typical short-term initiatives, YGC ensures every planted sapling—a mix of native and fruit-bearing species—thrives to maturity, a long-term dedication sustained through continuous funding and management.
