PUBLICLY listed and Cebu-based energy and water company Vivant Corp. signed a collaboration agreement with Ayala Land Inc. for the Kan-Irag Ecosystem Biodiversity Project last May 2024. The partnership would foster efforts in sustaining and preserving the biodiversity of an area adjacent to a protected zone in Cebu City known as Mount Kan-irag.
Executive Director Shem Jose Garcia said: 'In the past, Vivant donated to third parties for reforestation programs. We'd plant some seedlings, take pictures and never see the site again. With this project, we want everyone at Vivant to contribute to every part of promoting biodiversity year-round to promote a better understanding of the hard work of ecological conservation and to be committed to one larger area, where we can see the literal growth that happens throughout the years.
