Mighty's CSR Projects Praised for its Cause

Renowned cigarette manufacturer Mighty Corp has been praised for prioritizing apostolic works and educational programs and projects.

According to a bishop, Mighty's CSR projects are of great help to millions of tobacco farmers and their children as well.

“The parents of these students are low-income farmers producing only for local consumption,” the bishop said. “So you can imagine the positive impact this kind of support has for them.”

“I’m quite happy about all these projects. It’s a big lift for our farmers, not only in La Union but also the whole of Northern Luzon,” He said. “This is something very beautiful as the hand tractors and
water pumps encourage our farmers to use modern methods of agriculture.” He added.

Mighty recently implemented these CSR projects in Luzon:

  • Increased purchase in tobacco. 
  • Granting scholarships to children of tobacco farmers.
  • Encouraging the use of Organic-based pesticides.
  • Donating equipments (hand tractors and irrigation pumps) to local farmers.
  • Assisting in the construction various churches. 
  • Donating tobacco dust (an effective fish pond conditioner)  to fish pond owners.

Mighty looks to expand their CSR projects, hoping to help uplift the lives of many more local farmers and while helping the local tobacco industry grow.
