Personal Collection Direct Selling, Inc., a pioneering Filipino-owned company known for its commitment to environmental sustainability, has achieved yet another historic milestone. The company, which led the industry in transitioning from recyclable packaging to biodegradable packaging for consumer goods, has become the first direct selling company to win the prestigious gold award in the new category of Leaders for Sustainability and Corporate Purpose at the Asia Pacific Tambuli Awards. The event, held on June 6, 2023, at the Grand Hyatt Manila, showcased Personal Collection as the sole direct selling company among renowned corporate giants.
Since its establishment in 2005, the Tambuli Awards has honored businesses and brands that embody their purpose and make significant contributions to the betterment of society. Personal Collection’s recognition stems from its #GreenLifeGreatLife movement, which showcases the company’s exceptional efforts in transitioning to biodegradable packaging for its consumer goods. The movement also underscores the organization’s dedication to environmental care through various corporate social responsibility initiatives and awareness campaigns targeting stakeholders, including its extensive network of active dealers spanning over 450 branches across the Philippines.
Commitment to the future
From its humble beginnings as a single business idea, Personal Collection has evolved into a company that provides hundreds of thousands of Filipino dealers with opportunities to live a Great Life through lucrative earning prospects and exceptional value-for-money products and services. However, the company’s ambitions extend beyond financial success; two years ago, they embarked on a transformative journey to create a more sustainable future for Filipinos through their #GreenLifeGreatLife Movement, dedicated to reducing plastic waste in the environment.
Since its launch in June 2021, the #GreenLifeGreatLife Movement has achieved significant milestones. Demonstrating their commitment as a responsible sustainability leader, Personal Collection has successfully transitioned over 80% of its product portfolio to biodegradable packaging as of May 2023.
Through collaborative efforts with agencies such as the Department of Environment and Natural Resources, and with the proactive participation of their dealers, Personal Collection has made tangible contributions to environmental preservation. They have planted an impressive 55,400 trees and over 190,000 mangrove seedlings, aiding in the protection of air quality, reduction of carbon dioxide, and preservation of ecosystems. Simultaneously, the company has collected a substantial 30,000 kilograms of plastic waste and other pollutants from coastlines and estuaries.
Furthermore, Personal Collection has reached over 110 million individuals through their comprehensive awareness campaigns. By educating communities about the urgent need to protect the environment, they are taking crucial steps towards fostering a culture of environmental stewardship.
