  • Holcim advocates embedding sustainability in COVID recovery programs

    Holcim advocates embedding sustainability in COVID recovery programs

    Holcim Philippines’ Plan 2030 targets are designed to support the achievement of the United Nation’s Sustainability Goals.

    Leading cement manufacturer Holcim Philippines, Inc. reiterated its commitment to improving environmental and social performance as it supported calls for COVID-19 recovery programs to be aligned with efforts to address larger sustainability challenges.

    Holcim Philippines President and CEO John Stull: “We are determined to help where we can to ensure that new ways of doing business supports the overall efforts to preserve gains in improving the quality of life for people all over the world and build resilience against similar global challenges.” 

    On 20 May, over 150 global corporations released a joint statement urging governments all over the world to align socio-economic recovery programs for COVID-19 with actions that build resilience against future shocks caused by climate change. Global building solutions leader LafargeHolcim Group is among the signatories to the statement.

    LafargeHolcim CEO Jan Jenisch: “At LafargeHolcim, we are going back to business firmly committed to building a healthier world together. More than ever, we want to demonstrate leadership by connecting the dots between this unprecedented health crisis and the need for a sustainable recovery.”

    The Group noted that 50% of research resources are focused on low-carbon products, with 40% of patents currently in this area. Over 40 million tons of wastes were processed as Alternative Fuel and Alternative Raw Material while a third of sales were in sustainable solutions such as carbon-neutral concrete in 2019.

    LafargeHolcim’s gains in these areas were recently recognized by Sustainalytics, a global leader in environmental, social and governance risks (ESG) and corporate governance research and ratings. Sustainalytics rated LafargeHolcim as first among 101 construction materials companies and in the top 20% of all 12,000 companies assessed across all sectors.

    As a member of LafargeHolcim, Holcim Philippines is committed to supporting the achievement of targets aligned with the United Nation’s Sustainability Goals. The company has made good progress in lessening the environmental footprint of operations and offerings as well as uplifting its communities.

    As of 2019, Holcim Philippines has progressed in its 2030 targets of reducing carbon emissions by 40% vs. 1990 levels and freshwater withdrawal per ton of cement by 30% vs. 2015. Among the drivers of its lower emissions are its introduction of more blended cement options and use of low-carbon fuels. 

    Last year, Solido, a blended cement designed as a better alternative to Ordinary Portland Cement for roads and light infrastructures, sales became a significant portion of Holcim’s product mix in 2019 with its lower environmental footprint among its main selling points.

    Holcim also used more than 170,000 tons of alternative fuel and alternative raw material processed from biomass and waste materials from industries. This helped the company avoid coal in cement production for 38 days leading while helping its partners manage their wastes in an eco-friendly manner.

    Furthermore, corporate citizenship programs under Holcim Helps benefitted 229,170 individuals last year. With this, the company has helped more than 800,000 people since 2015, surpassing its commitment to the LafargeHolcim Group of assisting 400,000 people by 2020.

  • LANY, vivo encourages millennials to ignite the night in the “new normal”

    LANY, vivo encourages millennials to ignite the night in the “new normal”

    For globally-successful pop band, LANY, the Philippines will forever remain memorable because it is where they staged their first-ever arena concert, at no less than the Smart Araneta Coliseum in 2018. 

    LANY frontman Paul Klein even tweeted “Best night of my life without a doubt. Thank you, Manila” after the sold-out event.

    Today, after dozens of crowd-drawing concerts worldwide, LANY—composed of Paul, drummer Jake Gross and keyboardist Les Priest—is about to sing their way back to the hearts of Filipino fans, via an upcoming album, “Mama’s Boy”. Recently, the band has also been introduced as the latest brand ambassadors of leading technology company, vivo.

    With “Mama’s Boy”, the trio has found inspiration in looking back at their own journey as a band, from finding their unique sound, to finding global success in the music industry that perhaps started with their Manila concert.

    Paul, Jake, and Les formed LANY, an acronym for “Los Angeles New York”, in Los Angeles in 2015. With poetic lyrics on love and heartbreak, a dream-like soundscape, and modern aesthetic, the group easily captured millennials’ attention after releasing their self-titled debut album.

    With hits such as “ILYSB”, “Thru These Tears”, and “I Don’t Wanna Love You Anymore”, LANY has since been selling out multiple nights across the Philippines. Their music, best enjoyed at night, has become an inspiration for millennials to make the most out of evenings, preventing them from simply slipping away.

    And as the latest brand ambassadors of vivo in the Philippines, LANY calls on their Filipino fans to continue to do the same. 

    “Mabuhay Philippines, we are LANY and we are so excited to be the new members of the vivo family. We’re having so much fun with the all-new vivo V19. Go and check it out, it will definitely ignite your night,” said the band in a video posted on vivo Philippine’s Facebook page.

    With this partnership, vivo and LANY invite millennials to ignite their night with the vivo V19 Neo, a phone that boasts of a super night mode camera feature and enhanced gaming capabilities–-perfect for work-from-home millennials who pursue their passions at night.

    Heed LANY and vivo’s call to “ignite your night” and get your hands on the brand-new vivo V19 Neo today through  Vivo’s official website, Shopee, and Lazada.

  • Shopee Sees Growth In Digital Payments as Filipinos Adjust to the New Normal

    Shopee Sees Growth In Digital Payments as Filipinos Adjust to the New Normal

    While 70% of purchases made through digital payments were by younger users, Shopee also saw an increased adoption among users aged over 50

    Shopee, the leading e-commerce platform in Southeast Asia and Taiwan, saw an acceleration in digital payments as Filipinos fulfill more daily needs online amidst the ongoing pandemic. Shopee saw an increase in the number of digital payments made on the platform since the beginning of the pandemic. More people paid for their purchases via credit cards, bank transfers, and ShopeePay. According to a Boston Consulting Group report, this trend will continue as more Southeast Asian households embrace digital payments during and after Covid-19.

    Martin Yu, Associate Director at Shopee Philippines, said, “2020 has brought about significant shifts in the way we live, work and shop online. Among these shifts is the accelerated move towards a cashless society across the region. In line with social distancing efforts, we see consumers embracing digital payments for greater convenience and security. Local governments are also stepping up their efforts to encourage this move. Similarly, Shopee continues to offer a wide range of digital payment options to cater to evolving needs, including ShopeePay, our mobile wallet.”

    Shopee outlines three observations on digital payments in the Philippines:

    1. Increased adoption of digital payments among older users: 70% of the total number of purchases made using digital payments were by users between the ages of 18 to 34. However, older users are also starting to adopt digital payments when shopping online. Shopee observed a 100% increase in the number of ShopeePay transactions among users over the age of 50. Given that older users typically find it harder to adapt to digital payments, this heartening trend illustrates the ease of use of ShopeePay and the trust it has built among users.
    2. Men’s adoption of digital payments is higher than women: Men increasingly value the convenience and security of digital payments. Over the past year, the rate of growth in the adoption of digital payments is 80% higher for men than for women.
    3. Digital payments are more prevalent in urban cities: The National Capital Region (NCR) has the highest digital payment adoption. Larger cities, which are critical drivers of the Philippines’ economic growth, have better connectivity and a more developed IT infrastructure. Individuals in these cities also have better accessibility to smartphones, contributing to the adoption of digital payments.

    Shopee is committed to meeting the needs of its users. Through its integrated mobile wallet, ShopeePay, Shopee strives to ensure that users can shop and pay with ease. In addition to the ease of use, ShopeePay offers several benefits to users, including convenience, a seamless user experience, security, and more significant cost savings.

    Convenient and easy to top-up: ShopeePay is easy to top-up through a variety of methods. These include online banking, payment centers, and over-the-counter bank transactions. Through ShopeePay, users can make online payments, top-up their wallets, transfer, and withdraw funds.

    Safe and secure payment method: ShopeePay follows the highest security standards. An automated registration process protects the user, and there is also a dedicated 24h Customer Service team.

    Greater cost savings with ShopeePay promotions: ShopeePay users can enjoy the following regular promotions:

    • Mobile Load: New users can earn 30 coins when they buy ₱100 worth of load, while regular users get big discounts when they buy load via ShopeePay.
    • Bills Payment: Users can claim 150 to 350 coins (with ₱800 minimum spend) when they pay their utility bills via ShopeePay.
    • ShopeePay Day: Users can enjoy free shipping with ₱0 minimum spend on ShopeePay Thursdays. They can also enjoy up to 20% off discount with minimum spending of ₱200.

    Yu closed, “As more consumers turn to our platform to stay connected and fulfill their daily needs, we are committed to leveraging our key strengths to help consumers adapt to the new normal. We want to provide our users with easy access to digital payment services such as ShopeePay, through an integrated and secure ecosystem.”

    Download Shopee for free through the App Store or Google Play.

    For me, it’s advisable make digital payments when it is needed especially during this time of COVID-19 Pandemic but always be careful and keep safe in doing this transactions to avoid fraud and other incidental matters.
