Lazada celebrates Earth Day with the launch of LazEarth

Lazada launches a LazEarth campaign as part of the company’s commitment to supporting sustainable practices in the digital commerce ecosystem. The campaign will initially focus on plastic waste reduction in product and packaging, given that Southeast Asia generates an estimate of over 31 million tonnes of plastic waste each year, with 91% of consumers stating that they are concerned about plastic waste issues in the region².

Lazada will work with LazMall brands and partners to make eco-friendly products easily accessible and identifiable to consumers. Under the LazEarth campaign, Lazada will recognize and feature more than 70 brands and 5,000 items across mainly fashion and FMCG product categories that are made, packed, or shipped with reduced or better plastics.

“As digital commerce continues to be one of the key growth drivers in Southeast Asia, it is crucial for companies to place sustainability at the core of their strategies to build stronger and greener economies,” said Magnus Ekbom, Chief Strategy Officer, Lazada Group. “The LazEarth campaign is part of Lazada’s ongoing efforts to address plastic waste and help our buyers make informed decisions about sustainable products.”

Since 2021, Lazada started offering greener parcels made from alternative sustainable packaging materials through its Fulfilment by Lazada (FBL) service for partnering brands. The green parcels use FSC-certified carton boxes filled with recycled shredded paper instead of plastic fillers.

Apart from addressing plastic waste, Lazada has put in place partnerships and social initiatives aimed at building a sustainable digital commerce ecosystem in Southeast Asia. In the Philippines, Lazada has partnered with Basic Environmental Systems & Technologies, Inc. (B.E.S.T.)’s Trash to provide Cashback for LazGoGreen, Lazada Philippines’ package recycling program. Customers can simply compile their Lazada packages at home, drop off their recyclables at the nearest MBE-C-Center site (available in Metro Manila and Cagayan de Oro), and convert the environment points they receive from their packaging waste to earn Lazada Wallet Credits.

In Vietnam, Lazada partnered with the National Trade Promotion Program to offer lychees from farmers in Hai Duong on the platform during the pandemic. This enabled Vietnam’s rural farmers to reap the benefits from participating in digital commerce and ensure the long-term growth of the agricultural sector in the digital era. In Indonesia, together with PT Smoot Motor Indonesia, Lazada Logistics introduced the Blue Vehicle, a practical and environmentally-friendly package delivery fleet for Lazada’s frontliners in the country.

James Chang, Chief Business Officer, Lazada Group, said “As part of our commitment to build a lasting digital commerce business in Southeast Asia, we recognize that sustainability and value creation will become increasingly important to our long-term success. With the launch of LazEarth, we look forward to forging more collaborative partnerships and green initiatives that will empower our brands, partners and consumers to collectively create responsible and sustainable shopping and consumption habits.”

Robinsons Malls Celebrates Earth Day 2022

Earth Day, an annual event happening every April 22 since 1970, puts the focus on the need for a global and systemic change to foster and promote environmental protection. Robinsons Malls joins this movement through various activities to raise awareness and encourage mallgoers to heed the call to save Mother Earth.

“Robinsons Malls has always been committed to expanding our sustainability efforts, especially amid climate change and the various environmental challenges we face today. On top of our large-scale efforts as a company, we want to bring earth-friendly initiatives to our malls to help educate and inspire the public to embrace sustainability as well,” shares Arlene Magtibay, Senior Vice President and General Manager of Robinsons Malls.

Here are the many ways that mall-goers can celebrate Earth Day in Robinsons Malls:

Trash to Cashback Program

Plastic pollution is one of the world’s most pressing environmental issues, especially with the increased production and accumulation of single-use plastic. In partnership with BEST (Basic Environmental Systems and Technologies, Inc), Trash to Cashback Program encourages people to segregate their trash and bring their recyclables to the malls, which is a more convenient way to participate in the initiative instead of having to go to a warehouse or a recycling hub. From April 22 to 23, mall-goers can exchange their trash for “Environmental Points” (EP), which can be used to redeem products or services from BEST partner merchants. All they have to do is bring their recyclables to Robinsons Metro East in Pasig City, Robinsons Town Mall Malabon and Robinsons Otis in Manila City. These recyclables are collected and delivered to recycling and upcycling partners through the My Basurero mobile app. Recyclables will be processed and returned to the supply chain as raw materials or products with a new purpose.

Robinsons Malls Recycling Market at Robinsons Novaliches encourages its shoppers and tenants to actively participate and contribute in saving our Mother Earth through recycling.

Recycling Market at Robinsons Novaliches

Another effort to curb the plastic problem is through Robinsons Novaliches’ Recycling Market. The Quezon City mall is enhancing this program, which was first introduced in 2017, to allow mall-goers to exchange recyclable materials for cash. Available every last Friday and Saturday of the month at the mall’s designated area, customers can exchange various kinds of paper (newspaper, white and colored paper, magazines, cartons), plastic (PET bottles, packaging plastics, hard plastics, PVC tubings), metal (scrap iron, packaging cans, aluminum, copper), and glass items (packaging bottles, beer, and liquor bottles) for cash.

Plastic Bank Experience Hub at Robinsons Place Naga

Aside from exchanging trash for cash (or EP points), Robinsons Malls takes things further by educating mall-goers about the importance of recycling and upcycling through the Plastic Bank Experience Hub. The space showcases how plastic waste is transformed into everyday items, such as eco-bricks that can be used to build homes and schools, as raw materials for manufacturing bags and bottles, and as fuel for powering generators. It is also open to accepting recyclable materials. The Plastic Bank Experience Hub is located at the Robinsons Place Naga’s Atrium until April 27.

Robinsons Malls in cooperation with the United Nations Economic and Social Commission for Asia and the Pacific (UNESCAP), United Nations Habitat for A Better Urban Future (UN Habitat), local government unit of Naga, Naga City People’s Council (NCPC), and Institute for Environmental Conservation and Research – Ateneo de Naga University educates mall-goers about the importance of recycling and upcycling through the Plastic Bank Experience Hub.

Free Eco-Bags

To minimize the use of plastic, participating Robinsons Malls branches are giving away free eco-bags to shoppers from April 22 to 29. Customers can also get free eco-bags when shopping through Robinsons Malls’ personal shopper service, Robbie and Rosie, for a minimum purchase.

Free Loam Soil at Robinsons Place Antipolo

Robinsons Malls is also letting mall-goers hit two birds with one stone, which—in this case—is recycling and planting. From 3 p.m. to 5 p.m. on April 22, people can exchange used plastic bottles (1.5 litre or 5 litres) for free loam soil at the Fun Park at Robinsons Place Antipolo. The Bureau of Plant Industry is also giving away free seeds and seedlings in exchange for recyclable plastics.

Saving the environment is a global effort. Robinsons Malls will continue to do its part in creating awareness, implementing sustainable and high-impact environment programs, and partnering with relevant and like-minded organizations to encourage more people to do their share. Celebrate Earth Day at Robinsons Malls because it is #REarthRPlace.

Vote Pilipinas & Robinsons Malls to Bring #BumotoKa Caravans Nationwide

With less than a month to go before the May 9 elections, Vote Pilipinas has partnered with Robinsons Malls to bring the #BumotoKa Caravans to Filipinos in different locations across the country.

Under the program, select Robinsons Mall branches will host the #BumotoKa Caravans to encourage Filipinos to exercise their right to vote. The caravan will kick off on April 19 at Robinsons Starmills Pampanga, to be followed by Robinsons Place Iloilo, Robinsons Place Bacolod and Robinsons Galleria Cebu on April 21 and Robinsons Place Tacloban on April 22.

“Robinsons Malls has been supporting the government and various advocacy groups to promote responsible voting. Previously, Robinsons Malls actively participated in Comelec’s national voter registration efforts and this partnership with Vote Pilipinas allows us to sustain our commitment to educate and empower our voting population nationwide,” said Arlene Magtibay, Robinsons Malls Senior Vice President and General Manager.

Vote Pilipinas Founder Ces Rondario said, “After getting around 7.9 million people to register to vote, our goal now is to make sure that Filipinos will actually go out and vote during election day. We want to arm our fellow Filipinos with reliable and factual information about this year’s elections, so they can make informed decisions when voting. Thanks to Robinsons Malls, we’re able to hold our #BumotoKa caravans in different parts of the country. Now we can educate more citizens, especially the youth and new voters, on everything they need to know about the upcoming elections, so they can cast their ballots with confidence. With Robinsons Malls’ help, more people across the Philippines will understand the importance of voting and why their vote matters.”

The #BumotoKa Caravans aims to promote voter education and responsible voting in the Philippines. The program helps enlighten residents, especially the youth and new voters on the importance of voting, what positions to vote for, and how to vote in the coming elections. Vote Pilipinas is joined by the Commission on Elections (COMELEC) to demonstrate how the Vote Counting Machine works, how to properly shade ballots, and how ballots are processed on election day.

Warner Asserts Box-Office Dominance with Back-to-Back Hits ‘The Batman,’ ‘Fantastic Beasts: The Secrets of Dumbledore’

“The Batman” shattered records in March. Then, “Fantastic Beasts: The Secrets of Dumbledore” scored a magical $193.4-M over the weekend, worldwide. And just like that, Warner Bros. Pictures is enjoying its best box-office season in years, with no signs of slowing down.

While receipts for the latest “Fantastic Beasts” movie are still coming in, Warner is celebrating the triumph of “The Batman” which has flown past $750-M at the global box office. The film has maintained its top spot as the highest-grossing film of the year, both in the U.S. and worldwide.

Earning widespread praise from critics and audiences alike, director Matt Reeves’s powerful new vision of the globally iconic DC Super Hero has taken in $365 million in U.S. receipts and $386 million internationally, and is still going strong.

In the Philippines, “Fantastic Beasts: The Secrets of Dumbledore” likewise opened at No.1 for the two-day April 16-17 frame, capturing a market share of 63%. Together with “The Batman” which is still playing in local theaters, Warner is dominating the market with an over-all 68% share for the same period.

“We couldn’t have started the year better,” said Francis Soliven, General Manager of Warner Bros. Philippines. “`The Batman’ and the new `Fantastic Beasts’ are consecutive blockbusters for Warner this early in 2022, and we owe it to the local moviegoers who, despite the challenges, have trooped back to the theaters.”

For the rest of 2022, Warner is betting on Baz Luhrmann’s epic musical “Elvis,” the animated superhero comedy “DC League of Super-Pets,” the horror-thriller “Salem’s Lot,” the psychological thriller “Don’t Worry, Darling” and the superhero tentpoles “Black Adam” and “Shazam: Fury of the Gods.”

Unable to stop him alone, he entrusts Magizoologist Newt Scamander (Eddie Redmayne) to lead an intrepid team of wizards, witches and one brave Muggle baker on a dangerous mission, where they encounter old and new beasts and clash with Grindelwald’s growing legion of followers. But with the stakes so high, how long can Dumbledore remain on the sidelines?

The film features an ensemble cast led by Oscar winner Eddie Redmayne (“The Theory of Everything”), two-time Oscar nominee Jude Law (“Cold Mountain,” “The Talented Mr. Ripley”), Ezra Miller, Dan Fogler, Alison Sudol, Callum Turner, Jessica Williams, Katherine Waterston, and Mads Mikkelsen.
