Another significant victory for the environment and the direct selling sector in the Philippines was recently achieved by Personal Collection Direct Selling, Inc.
The Filipino-owned business that led the transition from recyclable to biodegradable packaging for consumer goods became the first direct selling business to receive the gold award in the new Leaders for Sustainability and Corporate Purpose Division category of the Asia Pacific Tambuli Awards. At the renowned APAC Tambuli Awards held at Grand Hyatt Manila last June 6, 2023, Personal Collection was also the only direct selling business recognized amid prestigious corporate giants.
The Tambuli Awards, which were started in 2005, honor companies and brands that uphold their values and advance societal progress, like Personal Collection’s #GreenLifeGreatLife initiative.
The #GreenLifeGreatLife movement highlights Personal Collection’s unparalleled efforts in being the first Filipino-owned company that transitioned from recyclable packaging to biodegradable packaging for its consumer goods. It also emphasized the organization’s goal to care for the environment through CSR initiatives and awareness campaigns among stakeholders, including its numerous active dealers from more than 450 branches spread all over the Philippines.
Commitment to the future
First launched as a single business idea, Personal Collection has since grown to provide hundreds of thousands of Filipino dealers across the country with the opportunity to live a Great Life through earning opportunities and superior, value-for-money products, and services. Two years ago, the company embarked on a bigger journey to build a more sustainable future for Filipinos with the #GreenLifeGreatLife Movement that aims to reduce plastic waste in the environment.
The #GreenLifeGreatLife Movement has had other big wins since it was launched in June 2021. As a responsible sustainability leader, Personal Collection has transitioned more than 80% of its products to biodegradable packaging as of May 2023.
Through continuous collaboration with agencies such as the Department of Environment and Natural Resources and the proactive participation of its dealers, Personal Collection was able to plant 55,400 trees and over 190,000 mangrove seedlings to help protect the country’s air quality, reduce carbon dioxide, and preserve ecosystems. Simultaneously, the company has collected 30,000 kilos of plastic and other types of wastes from coastlines and estuaries.
Through awareness programs, the corporation also reached more than 110 million individuals, taking the next step in educating communities about the need for environmental protection.
