A week of meaningful connections and shared vision.

In early June, Forvis Mazars leaders from across the Asia Pacific region convened at The Peninsula Manila in Makati, Philippines for the Forvis Mazars 2026 Asia Pacific Partnersโ€™ Conference. It was an opportunity to collaborate, exchange insights, and explore growth together.

Ahead of the main conference, we also hosted our Service Line meetings, providing a focused opportunity for deeper discussions, knowledge sharing, and alignment within each practice area.

A highlight of the program was the SolarBuddy workshop, where Partners came together to assemble solar lights for children living in energy poverty. This meaningful activity not only encouraged teamwork but also reinforced our commitment to creating a positive impact beyond our business.

As we move forward, we remain committed to helping our stakeholders prepare for whatโ€™s next.

We marked a meaningful milestone with the planting of our 1,000th tree at the La Mesa Watershed, an important step in our continued commitment in giving back to the community.

Our community day effort added 200 Bombax ceiba (locally known as malabulak or cotton trees), a species native to the Philippines that contributes to strengthening local ecosystems.

In partnership with the Million Trees Foundation, we help ensure that each sapling is properly nurtured, supporting an impressive survival rate of at least 85%, as reported by the foundation.

This initiative was made possible through the participation of 60 dedicated volunteers from Forvis Mazars, reflecting our shared purpose of protecting the watershed as a vital water source while providing our people with meaningful opportunities to support causes close to their hearts.

Together, we grow not only trees, but a more sustainable future. ๐ŸŒฑ
