Globe Champions Care for Pets with PAWS and Pettr

Pets are part of many Filipino homes and found families today, and their well-being has become just as important. Globe wants to make pet care essentials accessible to every Filipino pet parent, strengthened by its partnership with Pettr, the country’s first all-in-one digital pet care platform. Globe is integrating pet wellness into everyday connectivity. Through its Go+99 offers, subscribers receive a ₱100 discount voucher for teleconsultations with licensed veterinarians and other vital services, helping pet-parents access the services they need.

Recognizing the opportunity to authentically demonstrate its commitment to animal care and welfare, Globe, in partnership with the Philippine Animal Welfare Society (PAWS), a non-profit, volunteer-based organization dedicated to sheltering rescued animals, preventing animal cruelty, and promoting the humane treatment of animals, is also launching a series of pet-care initiatives, beginning with employee engagement programs such as volunteer activities, donation drives, and awareness campaigns to support PAWS’ advocacies.

The initiative kicked off with Volunteer Day last September 25, 2025, at the PAWS Shelter in Katipunan, Quezon City, where up to 50 Globe employees donated pet-care amenities and spent the day feeding, cleaning, and reading to the shelter’s cats and dogs. This hands-on experience reflects Globe’s belief that care begins within, living out the same values of compassion and community that the company advocates externally.

“This initiative is about showing our people and our partners that care is not just a campaign - it’s a culture,” said Roche Vandenberghe, Chief Marketing Officer at Globe. “We try to uplift Filipino lives everyday at Globe and with pets as part of people’s found families, we’re extending that culture of care into everyday life, making sure that even our customers’ companions receive the attention and support they deserve.”

With these efforts, Globe continues to evolve as more than a connectivity provider, fostering a culture of care within its own community. By celebrating pets as part of Filipino homes, Globe affirms that compassion lives in everyday bonds that truly matter.

Personal Collection bags awards at the Asia ESG Business Awards for biodegradable packaging, #GreenLifeGreatLife Movement

Personal Collection Malaysia Managing Director Elaine Too receives the Green Solutions Award and the Initiative Award – Philippines Environmental Impact during the ESG Business Awards ceremony held at The Westin Kuala Lumpur

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.
