MMT supports #SeaTheChange initiative

Employees came together to “turn the tide” during International Coastal Cleanup

Manila Multipurpose Terminal (MMT) marked this year’s International Coastal Cleanup (ICC) and National Maritime Week with a collective show of care for the environment. Last October, employees volunteered to step away from their desks and daily routines to join a coastal cleanup with the global theme Turning the Tide on Ocean Trash and #SeaTheChange.

Teams from Human Resources, Commercial, Finance – General Services, Health, Safety, and Environment, Engineering, MHCPSI-NAFLU, and Corporate Affairs worked side by side along the shoreline, gathering everything from plastic bottles to assorted debris. By the end of the cleanup, the group had collected roughly 500 kilograms of waste. 

For many of the participants, the cleanup also offered a chance to connect with colleagues outside work. Conversations flowed as they united for a meaningful purpose.

The cleanup is part of MMT’s commitment to environmental stewardship and support for the global sustainability goals. Through initiatives like this, the terminal continues to encourage employees to become active partners in protecting communities and natural environments where they live and work.
