Ajinomoto Philippines Flavor Food Inc. Cebu or
APF Cebu celebrates its 20th Anniversary!
To mark the company's growth and
transformation since its opening in 2004, APF Cebu organized a planting
activity of mangrove trees with their theme "Mangrove Planting: Sustaining
the Environment, Marching on to 2030".
This initiative is a testament to APF Cebu’s commitment towards
sustainability and community engagement as it commemorates twenty years of
excellence in the food industry.
Over a hundred employees of APF Cebu joined
the Fisher Folk Organization of Barangay
Day-as in Cordova, Cebu, where they planted
1,200 mangrove saplings. This is to acknowledge the importance of the
role they play as these trees protect our shorelines from erosion. They also
contribute to enhancing the areas’ biodiversity by providing habitats for
marine life.
Led by APC Group President Mr. Koichi Ozaki,
Vice President Mr. Makoto Tanabe, APF Bulacan Factory Director Mr. Juanito
Ramos Jr. and APF Cebu Factory Manager Mr. Teodoro Wong Jr., a total of 1,200
pieces of mangroves were planted. This is
a significant number to help
strengthen the coastal ecosystem restoration of Barangay Day-as.

| WIN-WIN partnership: APF Cebu employees joined the Fisher Folk Organization of Barangay Day-as in Cordova, Cebu to strengthen the coastal ecosystem restoration of the area. |
Last year, APF Cebu also conducted a similar
planting activity in another strategic location in Cebu. This was done in
Barangay Calawisan in Lapu-Lapu City, where the saplings have now shown
significant growth as they have established strong roots in the coastal soil.
This year's mangrove planting is another promising activity that will be
sustained through continuous monitoring to add to the number of the existing
mangroves in these areas.

| TEAMWORK: APF Cebu employees are all smiles while they plant together to fulfill the company’s commitment to sustainability and community engagement as they march on to Roadmap 2030. |
After the outdoor activity, a thanksgiving
mass was held at the APF Cebu office to express the company’s debt of gratitude
for the 20 strong years of stable operations. After mass, a formal program
followed that included congratulatory and inspirational messages from top
management of Ajinomoto Philippines. The sharing of testimonies from
long-tenured Ka-Aji’s (a term fondly use by the employees of Ajinomoto
Philippines in addressing their colleagues) and intermission numbers by
talented employees made this occasion all the more celebratory.
APF Cebu will continue its pursuit for growth,
stable operations, and involvement in their sustainability efforts and
community activities towards Roadmap 2030 while continuously producing high
quality products that stays true to Ajinomoto’s commitment to Eat Well, Live
Well!
