P&G and Watsons support SM Cares and Plastic Credit Exchange to boost and incentivize plastic waste collection this Holiday season

More people are becoming environmentally conscious as pressing climate  issues arise on a global scale. This keeps multinational FMCG company  Procter & Gamble (P&G) Philippines committed to achieving its environmental  sustainability goals under P&G Ambition 2030. It aims to reduce carbon  footprint, conserve resources, and restore the world in the environmental areas  of Waste, Water, and Climate by enabling responsible consumption across their  brands, supply chain, employees and with external partners such as their  customers and consumers. 

In line with this, P&G partners with Watsons, the health and beauty care chain  store, and SM Cares, the corporate social responsibility arm of SM Supermalls,  to support SM’s Plastic Waste Collection Program (PWC) with NGO Plastic  Credit Exchange (PCX) and with program sponsors PricewaterhouseCoopers,  Nestle Philippines and Colgate-Palmolive Philippines. The program aims to  reduce plastic waste in landfills and oceans through proper plastic segregation  and disposal. The malls become venues for customers, tenants, and  surrounding offices to participate actively in the circular economy or the reuse  of plastic material.

Bear Brand Adult Plus is now proven to help meet the nutritional needs of adults according to a study

A study conducted by the University of the Philippines – College of Home Economics has proven that daily intake of BEAR BRAND Adult Plus helps fill in the micronutrient gaps found among adults! 

It is with no doubt that adults, day in and day out, face all kinds of challenges in pursuit of a better life, whether it's for their family or for themselves. From waking up early, commuting to work, powering through the day’s demands, and preparing again for another day—a cycle of doing the same tasks everyday can give them the feeling that they’re not getting anywhere in life. Although one adult’s daily challenge is different from another, there is one factor that is crucial to all adults for everyday progress—their ability to give it their all. But more often than not, they face one serious challenge: Lack of nutrition. This leaves many Filipino adults feeling drained, which keeps them from undertaking new challenges that can improve their lives. To build the strength to try new pursuits and improve personal well-being amidst life’s challenges, it’s necessary to focus on nutritional intake and be proactive in managing one’s health.

Meralco’s nine-month performance showcased massive service improvements

Two years into the coronavirus outbreak, there is no denying that the world has changed. At the onset of the pandemic in 2020, governments all around the world scrambled to find ways to contain the pandemic.

The virus also unleashed a deadly blow to the global economy, disrupting supply chains and forcing businesses to halt operations.

The power industry was not spared from the effects of the pandemic. Industry players had to think quickly and strategically about how to adapt to the new normal.

Power distribution utilities like the Manila Electric Co. (Meralco) had to ensure that safeguards are in place so that operations regain stability at the soonest possible time as it put even more important to the health and safety of its customers and employees.

The current situation also underscored the importance of continuous, reliable, sufficient, and cost-competitive electricity supply that is necessary to carry out the efforts to fight COVID-19, to help businesses recover, and to sustain the needs of the people who are working from home.
