When Avon said it is doing beauty differently, they meant it
in every step of their process.
Challenging the industry in the Philippines for 44 years and
globally for over 135 years, Avon is on an ambitious journey for long-term
sustainability. The global beauty brand is perfecting every formula with
cruelty-free technology, shifting to recyclable packaging, and advocating for
community welfare by putting the environment first.
As part of Natura &Co, Avon adheres to a 2030 Commitment
to Life that aims to achieve Net Zero Emissions by 2030. And in its
efforts toward sustainability, the global beauty brand announced Its first
solar-powered facility.
Avon, in collaboration with Spectrum, a subsidiary of
the Manila Electric Company (Meralco), inaugurated the solar rooftop project in
its manufacturing plant in Calamba Laguna last April 22, in celebration of
Earth Day.
Since its completion, the solar installation has generated
more than 250,000 kilowatt-hours (kWh) of clean energy, helping the beauty
company lower its carbon footprint by 160 tonnes. It is expected to generate
almost 841,100 kWh clean energy on its full year of operations, nearly
quadrupling the carbon footprint reduced to 599 tonnes or equivalent to 329,315
trees planted.
"Taking care of our planet is also similar to taking
care of the people because the people will be the ones who will benefit when we
take care of our planet. We want to highlight that this is the first solar
project of Avon, not just in the Philippines, but internationally," says Tirso
Antonio B. Pereja, Avon Products Mfg., Inc. Head of Operations, during the
inaugural ceremony.
With its installation of solar panels, Avon joins the roster
of international and local companies that engaged Meralco and Spectrum as part
of their sustainability journey.
