Watsons’ Sustainability Program Inspires People To Do Good For The Environment

As the world continues to gear towards a more sustainable environment, more and more brands are advocating the same. For one, health and beauty brand Watsons launched “Social Purpose and Sustainability Vision 2030” which pledges actionable responses to the call for responsible consumption and production through its global operations. 

The Watsons Sustainability program pledges to restore thousands of perfect smiles through life-changing free surgeries to kids with cleft palates, to reduce tons of carbon dioxide emissions and to offer more sustainable choices in stores.

‘Look Good, Feel Great’

 

Furthermore, Watsons have been advocating for its consumers, partners, and stores to “Do Good”– the heart of its “Look Good, Feel Great” campaign for years now. Through this, the brand commits to “clean beauty” protocol from its “clean ocean” initiatives.

“Watsons has always been at the forefront of sustainability since its founding 180 years ago. In recent years, we’ve invested in various initiatives that take our commitment to the planet that sustains us all. And we are very glad that our customers and supplier partners have been very open to help Do Good for the planet through Watsons Sustainability programs,” Watsons general manager, Danilo Chiong said.

In 1841, Watsons founder, Alexander Skirving Watsons gave free medicine to those who needed them. This practice has been passed on from one generation to another. They hope that this project will help make the world a better place for many years to come. (Read: DENR to Start Preserving Pine Trees in Baguio Using Improvised Funnel Traps)
