- 1,100 trees planted

A Path to a Greener Tomorrow
On September 14, Sourcefit launched Soilmate 2024 in partnership with the Philippines’ Million Trees Foundation, Inc. (MTFI), bringing our shared vision of a greener future to life.
With 120 passionate volunteers rolling up their sleeves, 1,100 trees were planted at the La Mesa Watershed as part of the Annual Million Trees Challenge, each sapling fulfilling our collective mission of nurturing the environment and combating climate change.
Soilmate, an annual tree planting campaign, is part of Sourcefit’s commitment to the UN’s Sustainable Development Goals, particularly Life on Land and Climate Action.
The Power of Community
Excitement was in the air as volunteers gathered at dawn, eager to contribute to a meaningful cause. Upon arriving at the La Mesa Watershed, they were met by the MTFI team, who discussed tree planting and safety guidelines. Each tree planted symbolizes unity and a shared purpose—planting the seeds of hope for a healthier Earth for generations to come.
Soilmate Impact: Nurturing the Future
The day’s efforts resulted in:
- 147 tons of carbon sequestered. Each tree planted absorbs carbon from the atmosphere, helping to mitigate the effects of climate change.
- Enhanced biodiversity. The newly planted trees will help restore natural ecosystems, providing habitats for numerous species.
- More resilient communities. With this initiative, Sourcefit strengthens communities, building their resilience against environmental challenges.
Sourcefit’s Values in Action: Caring for Our Planet and People
Soilmate embodies Sourcefit’s core values of sustainability, community well-being, and responsibility. At the heart of our organization is the belief that we are stewards of this planet, entrusted to care for its precious resources.
By investing in projects like this, we not only contribute to the environment but also reinforce the value of community-driven action and corporate responsibility. Our team’s dedication to this project drives the positive change we aspire to create in the world.
Looking Forward: Continuing the Journey of Hope
While Soilmate 2024 was a resounding success, it is only one chapter in Sourcefit’s broader sustainability story. We aim to continue contributing to the Annual Million Trees Challenge, which seeks to plant 10 million trees by 2030.
Sourcefit believes that hope is something we cultivate. We are committed to nurturing this hope, one tree at a time.
