The Philippines is one of the world’s biggest sources of plastic waste. With only 33 percent of total plastic waste in the country disposed of in landfills or dumpsites, and just 9 percent recycled, plastic pollution has become a complex problem that requires a whole of society approach.
With plastic as a significant source of GHGs, the company is taking a leadership role in tackling plastic waste toward a waste-free future. Among its pioneering initiatives in the country, Nestlé PHL is the first multinational fast-moving consumer goods firm to achieve and maintain plastic neutrality, recovering the equivalent volume of plastic packaging it puts out in the market.
In a virtual ceremony, Atty. Felipe Gozon, chairman and CEO of GMA Network, and Kais Marzouki, chairman and CEO of Nestlé Philippines, signed a memorandum of agreement for the partnership. “If we put all our efforts together, we can make a difference. Our joint campaign to build awareness on the impact of plastic waste can go a long way,” he added.
