Northern Star Energy Corporation marked its 12th anniversary on January 27, 2024.
The celebration commenced with a holy mass to give gratitude and reflect on the remarkable journey it has undertaken since its establishment in 2012. Northern Star expressed its deep gratitude to its network of esteemed customers and partners, and dynamic employees for their continued collaboration and support.
With a strong foundation built over the past dozen years, Northern Star is poised to navigate the evolving business landscape and continue its trajectory of success by moving more lives forward.
Northern Star and GoPetrol Transport, Inc (GPTI) joined forces with Ramon Aboitiz Foundation, Inc. One to Tree (RAFI-OTT) to plant native timber and fruit-bearing seedlings in Brgy. Can-asujan, Carcar City, Cebu under Sikap, Tulong, Sulong! (STS). STS is Northern Star’s social investment program launched in 2016 with central themes of education, health, environment, and values formation.
With the help of Conta Manghupi Farmers Association (COMAFA), a community-based forest management holder awarded by DENR, a total of 2000 seedlings were planted last December 7, 2023. This joint effort plays a crucial role in mitigating climate change, enhancing biodiversity, and moving lives forward.
The collective impact of these newly planted trees echoes the Northern Star Group’s commitment to environmental stewardship and its dedication to corporate social responsibility.
