Watsons Philippines continues to commit to sustainability efforts
This story is brought to you by Watsons
All movements, when successful, end up permeating our daily lives. The clamor for sustainability in beauty used to be just a niche affair, but over the years we’ve seen bigger brands commit - in their own ways - to practices that are better for the environment. This gives us consumers more options as things become more affordable and easily available. There’s still a long way to go, of course, but Watsons is going forward with its commitment to sustainability.
The Watson Group recently shared its 2030 Sustainability Vision, with clear visions for next ten years on social and environmental sustainability.
Energy: Achieve electricity intensity reduction by 30% against 2015 baseline by 2030
Greenhouse Gas: Reduce GHG emissions (scopes 1 and 2) by 40% from 2015 baseline by 2030
Plastic: Eliminating unnecessary packaging by 2030, avoiding over-packaging and phase out PVC, a minimum of 20% recycled plastic content in plastic packaging by 2025
Community: Through A.S. Watson’s Give a Smile Campaign, they target to restore 10,000 perfect smiles by providing life-changing free surgeries to kids with cleft lips and palates by 2030
In the Philippines, Watsons takes steps to support this vision. To encourage recycling, Watsons partnered with SM Supermalls for their Trash to Cash Recycling Market. Shoppers are invited to drop off empty packaging of health and beauty products in exchange for cash and other incentives at designated recycling areas in selected SM malls.
When it comes to their own products, the Naturals by Watsons line is actually made of Post-consumer Recycled Plastic (PCR). The ingredients list is also features organic elements that are carefully sourced to deliver the best results. There’s something for everyone in this line, as it covers facial care, hair care, and body care. Take a look on your next Watsons trip!
