Keeping his corporate social responsibility to help the environment, CEO of Western Rim Property Services Marcus Hiles declared his resolution to continue to plant 2,500 trees every year. The property development expert creates affordable subdivisions where renters enjoy a luxurious lifestyle surrounded by parklands, trails, and green spaces. Planting trees initiative is part of Western Rim's goal to develop sustainable communities throughout the region.

Marcus Hiles considers his company's carbon footprint with every project they take on. He believes plantings can make a significant environmental impact, "Trees and vegetation play a key role in every Western Rim development," Hiles says. Western Rim's eco-friendly initiatives offer natural resources to both residents and indigenous wildlife, with lasting results. The annual plantings may remove roughly 75 tons of carbon dioxide per year, while generating enough oxygen to sustain over 6,000 people. After a decade, these same trees may deliver an annual reduction of 600 tons of carbon dioxide and create oxygen for 50,000 inhabitants.

Having successfully planted a total of 30,000 trees in the last 10 years, Marcus Hiles notes that the annual planting goal of 2,500 trees is part of Western Rim's long-term objectives. "We have seen firsthand the impact our efforts have had, both aesthetically and environmentally," he says. "These initiatives are just the beginning. We purposely plant and donate parklands beyond any government development regulation because we know that our labor today will benefit the ecosystem for future decades. My goal is to continue increasing the tree canopy in all of our neighborhoods as well as create municipal parks, jogging trails, and reserves. Our commitment to proven ecological solutions grants our renters the optimal quality of life in a thriving community.”
