Through GCash’s GForest, Filipinos can help restore the country’s forests with just a few taps on their phones.
Since its launch, GForest has helped plant 4.9 million actual trees nationwide, working with local environmental organizations and communities. Its next target is to reach 10 million trees by 2030.
From mangroves that help protect coastlines to native trees that restore watersheds, GForest demonstrates how everyday digital transactions can contribute to environmental conservation.
The initiative also supports local livelihoods, benefiting thousands of Filipino farmers through reforestation and agroforestry projects.
Getting involved is simple. GCash users earn Green Energy points through eligible in-app transactions, such as paying bills, buying load, and sending money. These points can then be exchanged for virtual trees in GForest, which are matched with actual tree-planting efforts by its partners.
More than just a digital feature, it is a reminder that protecting the environment is a shared responsibility—and that even the simplest actions can help build a greener future.
One tap, one tree, one greener Philippines.
