Epson Philippines Corporation recently took part in guided tree nurturing activities along the Legacy Trail at Masungi Georeserve, reinforcing its commitment to sustained environmental stewardship.
Located within the foothills of the Sierra Madre—the country’s largest mountain range—the georeserve plays a critical role in protecting Luzon from severe weather, preserving biodiversity, and supporting nearby communities. Conservation efforts in the area require long-term dedication, making forest restoration a responsibility that extends beyond a single visit.
Epson’s participation focused on tree nurturing, an approach that emphasizes the ongoing care and monitoring of planted trees to improve survival rates and support natural forest regeneration. Guided by Masungi’s forest rangers, participants learned practical reforestation techniques and gained insight into how consistent stewardship helps strengthen ecological resilience over time.
The activity took place along the Legacy Trail, whose name reflects the idea that conservation continues beyond the hike itself. Visitors are encouraged to carry forward what they learn and apply it in their everyday choices and communities.
This principle of continuity aligns with Epson’s presence in the Philippines. For five decades, the company has built partnerships and pursued innovations guided by its global Engineered for Good campaign, which emphasizes responsible business practices and long-term environmental action.
According to Masako Kusama, President and Director of Epson Philippines, the experience highlights the value of patience and shared responsibility in environmental work.
“Tree nurturing reminds us that progress requires patience and responsibility. Through the Engineered for Good campaign, we remain committed to actions that create lasting value. We believe that building a legacy means continuing the work long after the moment has passed,” she said.
Participants also received special caps from New Era Cap Philippines made from REPREVE recycled fiber. This material is produced by transforming post-consumer plastic into durable textile—an example of how resource reuse can support more sustainable production practices.
