Powered by PLDT Home, Gawad Madiskarte is back and is all about mompreneurs and the power of sustainable businesses. This year, the much-anticipated Gawad Madiskarte by Madiskarte Moms PH (MMPH) recognizes not only the hardworking and successful moms but also shines a spotlight on businesses that champion sustainability in the face of environmental and economic challenges in the Philippines.
At present, our country is battling with severe environmental threats. Reports from earth.org cite plastic and marine pollution as major concerns with the Philippines generating an alarming 2.7 million tons of waste. This is further exacerbated by an insufficient waste management system.
To tackle these challenges, Gawad Madiskarte is looking for mompreneurs who can lead by example - that is, to showcase that sustainable business practices are not only possible but profitable as well. Gawad Madiskarte hopes to inspire entrepreneurs and businesses to create a brighter and more sustainable future.
This year's major Gawad Madiskarte Awards include:
Diskarteng Eco-Friendly recognizes the mompreneur who leads the charge in environmental responsibility and pioneering green solutions.
Diskarteng Angat celebrates the mompreneur who achieves exceptional sales growth while being at the forefront of sustainability.
Diskarteng May Puso honors the mompreneur who fulfills her social responsibility to communities creating positive change.
Per major award, two winners will be chosen, one from the Start-Up category (whose business should be running for at least six months) and another from the Scale-Up category (whose business should be running for at least 13 months with supporting documents such as DTI and BIR permits). Do take note that owners must have an online shop on any e-commerce platforms or social media accounts.
Special awards will also be given to Diskarteng Digital and Diskarteng Home Biz.
