Our Journey Towards a Greener Future
Personal Collection Direct Selling Inc.
Great Life Mindset! Good More Earnings!
Personal Collection Direct Selling, Inc. (PCDSI) has been steadfast in its commitment to sustainability, which began with the launch of the #GreenLifeGreatLife Movement in June of 2021. This is our response to growing environmental challenges and the need for corporate responsibility in mitigating these issues. This initiative marked a significant shift in our corporate strategy, integrating sustainable practices into every aspect of our operations. Our journey towards sustainability is rooted in our corporate values of environmental responsibility and people development, guiding our actions and decisions to create a positive impact on the environment and society.
This movement aims to transition from recyclable to biodegradable packaging, reflecting our commitment to reducing plastic waste and protecting the environment. Over the years, this commitment has grown, becoming a core part of our business strategy and operations.
Integrating Sustainability into Our Operations
Our sustainability efforts are evident across various facets of our business:
Responsible Manufacturing
We have made significant strides in responsible manufacturing, focusing on reducing our carbon footprint. By optimizing our logistics and supply chain processes, we have minimized fuel consumption and emissions. Additionally, we have implemented measures to reduce water and electricity consumption in our production processes, contributing to more sustainable manufacturing practices.
Eco-Friendly Product Development
A major milestone in our sustainability journey has been the transition to biodegradable packaging. As of 2023, we have switched 87% of our products to biodegradable packaging, significantly reducing our environmental impact. This change not only reflects our commitment to sustainability but also sets new standards in the industry for eco-friendly product development.
Government Compliance
Compliance with environmental regulations is a key component of our sustainability strategy. We adhere to the Philippines' Extended Producer Responsibility Act (EPRA) of 2022, which mandates increased waste recovery efforts. By partnering with key sustainability organizations and adopting innovative waste-to-fuel technologies, we have reduced our plastic footprint and aligned with national sustainability standards.
