Employees of Taiyo Yuden Philippines, Inc. recently planted 10,000 mangroves in Barangay Tapilon, Daanbantayan, Cebu, in partnership with Philippine Business for Social Progress (PBSP). Also in attendance were Taiyo Yuden Philippines President Kiyoshi Tambo, Environment, Health, and Safety Management Representative Yu Mikami, and Executive Manager Hiromi Kihata. The mangrove reforestation project is funded by the company to help rehabilitate and nurture the coastal communities of Daanbantayan after the town was severely destroyed by Super Typhoon Yolanda in 2013.  Since 2008, the company has been a partner of PBSP in implementing its CSR initiatives. These included the provision of two water systems in Cebu, planting of 24 upland hectares in the Cebu Hillylands, and rehabilitation of four mangrove hectares on Olango island.
