Top health and beauty retailer Watsons teams up with multinational consumer goods company Unilever Philippines and social enterprise Plastic Bank in the efforts to protect and preserve the environment.
Through Watsons, Unilever launched Gift for Good in 2021, offering shoppers sustainable beauty products, including the hair and skin product brand Love, Beauty, And Planet.
Every purchase of a product from the Gift for Good campaign supported the fight against plastic waste while improving the lives of the collectors.
Watsons also established a partnership with Plastic Bank in 2021, which resulted in 833,000 plastic bottles saved from the ocean, 16,700 kg of ocean-bound plastic collected.
“This is a collaboration between Watsons, Unilever, and our customers toward sustainability, which has a massive impact on protecting the environment. By sharing the vision to be a purposeful business, we can build a healthier environment and a more sustainable society,” said Viki Encarnacion, PR and Sustainability Director of Watsons Philippines.
With the rising plastic pollution problem, Plastic Bank works to keep plastic out of oceans while building ethical recycling ecosystems for coastal communities. It benefits communities as this initiative invites people to join the plastic collection program in exchange for basic family necessities such as food, clean drinking water, and financial help.
Plastic Bank has given livelihood to over 1,500 people in the Philippines while creating a positive impact on the environment.
With Watsons’ sustainability programs, encouraging Filipinos to be a part of a positive impact of helping the environment has become more attainable, and visioning a sustainable society is now possible.
