Allianz PNB Life reaffirmed its commitment to sustainability and securing Filipinos’ futures by renewing its partnership with the Kabang Kalikasan ng Pilipinas Foundation, Inc. (KKPFI), also known as the World Wide Fund for Nature Philippines (WWF-PH). The two organizations signed a Memorandum of Agreement (MOA) last May 11, Wednesday.

Present at the MOA signing were Allianz PNB Life’s CEO and President Alexander Grenz and Chief Marketing Officer Gino Riola, alongside WWF-PH’s Executive Director Katherine Custodio and OIC for Resource Generation and Partnerships Cloda Marie Urquico.

KKPFI is a non-profit organization under the WWF involved in the conservation and preservation of the environment in the Philippines. It aims to promote corporate social responsibility by forming strategic partnerships with corporations that share the same social awareness, such as Allianz PNB Life.

Act now, act fast: WWF PH, GCash call for participation of Filipinos in fight for PH forests

Over the last couple of years, the Philippines has been experiencing an alarming decrease in forest area. Due to rampant illegal logging and the lack of funds to better secure protected areas, the countries forests are going nude. 

Each year, based on data from the Department of Environment and Natural Resources (DENR), around 47,000 hectares of forest cover is lost, which is equivalent to approximately 1.2 million hectares of deforested land in a hundred years. This translates to about 24 percent in deforestation rate, one of the fastest in the world. 

These figures may sound too statistical, but they are a constant and stark reminder for Filipinos of the state of Philippine forests. This is also a wakeup call for everyone that while the government pursues efforts to create a greener country, a great amount of work is still up ahead, according to the World Wide Fund for Nature (WWF).

Hamilo Coast & WWF: Nurturing a Sustainable Partnership

The Philippines ranks third in plastic pollution in terms of dumping plastic into our oceans. This is largely caused by inefficient waste disposal in the country and poor awareness of the problem. Because of this, the World Wide Fund for Nature (WWF) Philippines, has been closely involved in coastal cleanups and other initiatives around the country to instill the importance of tackling this issue. 

On its 11th landmark year, Hamilo Coast and WWF-Philippines’ partnership now stands firmly on environmental programs aimed at not just ending plastic pollution but also at preserving its surrounding nature. Hamilo Coast, with the help of WWF-Philippines, has gone way beyond annual coastal cleanups and has carefully planted sustainability within its day to day operations.
