This is in support of their "Do Good" initiatives
Launched last March 2021, Watsons social purpose tagline "Look Good Do Good Feel Great" has been guiding the company in inspiring their employees and customers on their sustainability goals. And now many know that this social purpose has been one of their "north stars"—for 180 years.
A.S. Watson, the founder, started by providing free medicine to those who need them. And they continue to do so, especially for this month of December, where they celebrate International Volunteer Day by supporting communities and non-government organizations. This special day is an initiative by the United Nations in its effort to recognize the value of volunteers all over the world.
Locally, Watsons Philippines has mounted projects such as Trash to Cash in coordination with SM Cares, Unilever, and P&G—collecting 3,000 kilograms of trash in one year. They also have Give A Smile project where they worked with Operation Smile Philippines and Johnson & Johnson for 50 surgeries of children with cleft and lip palate. Another project is the Plastic Bottle Recycling project, in collaboration with Plastic Bank Philippines, P&G and Unilever Philippines. Watsons was able to commit 2.5 million plastic bottles that were recycled. They were also able to work with Unilever Philippines in raising funds for Plastic Bottle Recyling.
“At Watsons, we’re committed to sustainable growth. This is why we encourage all our employees, partners and customers to do good to help save the environment and support the community. Do Good acts include choosing Watsons Sustainable Choices products that are kinder to the environment and/or donating resources to charities such as Operation Smile Philippines,” ends Viki Encarnacion, PR and sustainability director at Watsons Philippines.
