Personal Collection (PC), one of the leading Filipino-owned direct-selling companies, continues to champion sustainable innovation with its recent win at the ESG Business Awards for its Biodegradable Packaging program under the Green Packaging Solutions category and its #GreenLifeGreatLife Movement under the Initiative Award - Philippines Environmental Impact.

In 2021, PC took a bold step in becoming the pioneer of biodegradable packaging in the Philippines, and has since then encouraged households to transition from recyclable packaging to biodegradable alternatives, demonstrating its commitment to driving sustainability forward.

This initiative has enabled quicker breakdown of packaging under landfill conditions, preventing over 7,900 tons of plastic waste from polluting the environment.

In research conducted by the Global Alliance for Incinerator Alternatives (GAIA), an estimated 164 million sachets are consumed daily in the Philippines, accounting for 52% of the country’s residual plastic waste. Due to its archipelagic geography, the country is also vulnerable to ocean pollution and is the third largest contributor to ocean plastic pollution.

As part of its commitment to addressing plastic pollution, PC revolutionized the packaging of its products by transitioning to biodegradable materials. Bio additives are used to help microbes break down plastic surfaces naturally within five to ten years, leaving no harmful residues on the planet.

Aside from the biodegradable solutions, the #GreenLifeGreat Movement also includes initiatives such as coastal and community cleanups, tree-planting activities, and educational and awareness programs for employees, dealers, and communities.

Recognized for its excellence, this movement was also lauded by the Anvil Awards, Stevie International Business Awards, and Araw Values Awards. Additionally, PC’s Home Care Natural products were honored at the Asia-Pacific Stevie Awards.

PC has also consistently championed women entrepreneurship and employee engagement through targeted empowerment initiatives, earning accolades from the Philippine Quill Awards.

The ESG Business Awards, headquartered in Singapore, is an award-giving body that honors organizations in Asia at the forefront of sustainability and those showing a commitment to environmental, social, and governance (ESG) practices.
