It is, in reality, a combined effort. The participants guard our resources by ensuring that they make the right choices and go a step further to provide the options.

These topics will be aligned to existing hotel CSR and sustainability policies and program, to selected Sustainable Development Goals of UNDP, to the need for certifications in the Philippines, and to impact fund approaches. Especially the need for certifications will be one of the highlighted topics through the partnership between Control Union Singapore and Pristine Solutions Philippines.

The First Philippine Sustainability Month 2019 is an event series that will consist of large ballroom events, an International Sustainability Summit, working groups on roadmaps, cooking sessions, competitions, program presentations, match-making events, press conferences, and media outreach, etc. A module of sustainability training workshops will be an important part to increase the impact as driver for change.

An exciting month highlighting pressing topics to protect our oceans, environment and natural resources as well as solutions that can be brought through sustainable supply chains is ahead of us in the Philippines.
