Green Life Green Life Movement

Personal Collection, a proudly Filipino-owned direct-selling company, continues to set the standard for sustainability and social responsibility. At the recent Asia ESG Business Awards held at The Westin Kuala Lumpur, the company received two major honors: the Green Solutions Award for its Biodegradable Packaging program and the Initiative Award – Philippines Environmental Impact for its #GreenLifeGreatLife Movement.

Personal Collection Malaysia’s Managing Director, Elaine Too, received the awards on behalf of the company, marking another milestone in its ongoing mission to make every household part of a greener, more sustainable future.

Leading the Way in Biodegradable Packaging

In 2021, Personal Collection became the first in the Philippines to introduce biodegradable packaging in the direct-selling industry. This move encouraged many Filipino households to shift from recyclable to biodegradable alternatives, showing that sustainability can begin at home.

Through this initiative, the company has prevented more than 7,900 tons of plastic waste from polluting the environment. The biodegradable packaging breaks down naturally within five to ten years, leaving no harmful residue.

Studies show that the Philippines consumes approximately 164 million sachets daily, with single-use plastics accounting for a significant portion of waste. By rethinking packaging, Personal Collection has taken a strong step toward reducing the country’s environmental footprint.

The #GreenLifeGreatLife Movement

Beyond packaging, Personal Collection continues to extend its advocacy through the #GreenLifeGreatLife Movement. This initiative extends beyond business by creating a tangible community impact through coastal and community cleanups, tree planting, and educational campaigns that empower employees, dealers, and families to participate in environmental stewardship.

Respected award-giving bodies, including the Anvil Awards, Stevie International Business Awards, and Araw Values Awards, have also recognized the movement. Personal Collection’s Home Care Natural line also earned recognition at the Asia-Pacific Stevie Awards for its sustainable formulation and eco-friendly approach.

Empowering Women and Communities

Personal Collection’s advocacy for sustainability is also reflected in its strong support for women entrepreneurs and employee engagement programs. These efforts have earned multiple citations from the Philippine Quill Awards, reaffirming the company’s commitment to creating inclusive opportunities for growth.

As a mom, it is inspiring to see how a homegrown brand values both people and the planet. It reminds us that even the small choices we make — like choosing eco-friendly products — can create ripples of change that help preserve the world for our children.
