In fulfilling our obligations under the EPR Law, Monde Nissin collaborated with PCX and HOPE to support the Aling Tindera Program, enabling sustainable income for women across the Philippines while driving community transformation. This initiative advances a circular economy amidst the plastic crisis. Beyond simply meeting EPR requirements, Monde Nissin achieved 100% post-consumer plastic waste diversion in 2023 and stayed committed to maintaining this standard in 2024.
The program encourages responsible plastic collection and disposal in communities, turning waste into valuable resources. Sari-sari stores owned by micro-entrepreneur women serve as collection points, helping divert waste from landfills and waterways. This initiative not only protects the environment but also creates a vital source of income for the participating women.
The Aling Tindera Program goes beyond income generation; it fosters community engagement and helps build a more sustainable future. By providing women with the necessary tools and resources, the program creates opportunities for economic independence and breaks down barriers.
The program’s impact extends beyond household income by reducing plastic pollution and encouraging responsible waste management, contributing to a healthier environment. It aligns with the UN SDGs, addressing poverty, gender equality, and environmental sustainability.
Serving as a powerful example of how businesses can create positive social impact, the Aling Tindera Program reflects Monde Nissin’s commitment to sustainability. It enhances economic status and transforms communities, demonstrating that businesses can be a force for good, with a ripple effect that goes far beyond the bottom line.
