Watsons to offer more sustainable choices
This story is brought to you by Watsons.
Considering a greater impact to the society and the environment, Watsons Philippines has announced partnerships with P&G, L’Oreal Philippines, and Unilever for its Sustainable Choices initiative.
These partnerships go beyond products as these, according to Viki Encarnacion, PR and Sustainability Director of Watsons Philippines, “reflect the shared responsibility between our suppliers, our customers, and Watsons, in building a more sustainable world.”
As part of its commitment to Do Good for others, Watsons and its supplier partners give customers access to exclusive discounts, opportunities to turn trash to cash, and chances to share and care for other people.
Together with P&G Philippines, Watsons will give customers exclusive discounts through SM’s Trash to Cash recycling market. Customers may bring their empty plastic packaging at designated Trash to Cash drop-off areas at participating malls. Aside from PET bottles, shampoo and conditioner sachets, plastic cups, and makeup containers, customers can also bring in glass bottles and containers. Trash to Cash is held every first Friday and Saturday of the month, from 10AM to 2PM, in SM Aura Premier, SM City Bacolod, SM City Bacoor, SM City Cebu, SM City Davao, SM Mall of Asia, SM Megamall, SM City Naga, SM City North EDSA, and SM Southmall.
For Christmas, Unilever and Watsons are launching Gift for Good: Share to People, Care for the Planet. This aims to leave a positive impact in the season of giving. Customers can support Gift for Good simply by purchasing Unilever products from Watsons. In November, Share 1, Gift 1 offer will be launched wherein shoppers can choose to donate a free product to Plastic Bank collectors and their families. Unilever will also pilot biodegradable eco packaging for all Watsons online purchase of Unilever products from November to December, until supplies last.
Unilever Philippines states, “Together with Watsons, our trusted and valued partner, we continue to reach millions of Filipinos. Our Gift for Good campaign this Christmas season will allow us to team up with Watsons to support their beneficiaries, through our brands such as Dove, St. Ives, and Love Beauty & Planet. Through this campaign, we can celebrate the season with purpose, while making sustainable living commonplace for our shoppers.”
L’Oreal Philippines and Watsons have partnered to include Garnier, a line of clean beauty products, to the drive towards Sustainable Choices. According to L’Oreal Philippines, “We value a partner such as Watsons Group, as we are both working toward a common goal to drive the change in beauty towards more sustainable and greener alternatives. With Watsons' Clean Beauty initiative, Garnier can drive larger awareness to reduce its environmental footprint and choose more sustainable options.”
Expect more of these from Watsons as it aims to continuously use its platform to offer customers Sustainable Choices in health, wellness, and beauty.
