In their recent
expansion, Mighty Corp. implements various Corporate Social Responsibility
projects designed to uplift the lives of local farmers up north.
Due to the
implementation of the Sin Tax Law back in 2012, Mighty expanded and decided to
help uplift the livelihood of millions of local tobacco farmers while also
helping the local tobacco industry grow.
The company
implemented various CSR Projects to aid the local farmers, their children, the
environment, and the tobacco industry.
To help the tobacco
industry, Mighty Corp. executed these actions as part of the CSR.
1.
Increased tobacco purchase - Mighty Corp. substantially
increased their tobacco purchase in order to raise the income of local farmers
significantly. This will also help Mighty compete in the tobacco industry on an
equal playing field.
2.
Supports the use of organic Pesticides - Mighty claimed
that this move will help reduce the reliance of millions of local farmers on
the use of chemical-based pesticides. Mighty said that this will not only help
the environment, but will also help the farmers increase their income.
3.
Scholarship Grants for the farmers' children - Honoring
their patriarch's memory, Mighty's foundation granted scholarships and
educational assistance to children of local tobacco farmers.
4.
Provided tobacco dust to Fish Pond owners - Mighty also
helped local fish pond owners fight predators that infest their ponds. The
company provided them with tobacco dust, a fish pond conditioner, to help
decrease the number of predators in their ponds.
5.
Absorbed Low-grade leaves - Mighty also purchased
low-grade leaves from local farmers at very good prices. This helped the local
farmers increase their income while also assuring them that their crops have a
place on the local market.
