Expanding our Impact
GENERATION HOPE: HOPE IN A BOTTLE
Established in 2012, HOPE is a B Corp-certified organization that began with the goal of making it easy for Filipinos to vote with their peso about what was important to them. In partnership with the Department of Education, HOPE commits 100% of its profits from its flagship product HOPE in a Bottle towards building public school classrooms across the Philippines where they’re needed the most.With every bottle purchased, every Filipino gets the chance to contribute to social good. Apart from the impact made through educational infrastructure, HOPE continues to look for new ways to engage individuals in making the world a better place. In 2014, we expanded our efforts to include agricultural initiatives that aim to improve the livelihoods of our smallholder coconut farmers by providing the tools and training needed to boost their harvest. Most recently in 2019, HOPE also expanded its impact area towards the environment. Not wanting to solve one problem in education while creating another in the environment through the plastic we produced, we committed to taking responsibility for its plastic footprint. HOPE became the first brand in the Philippines to achieve Net Zero Plastic Waste in 2018, and has since continued its commitment to offsetting its plastic waste footprint.
Much recently, the organization took this a step further by engaging with women micro-entrepreneurs who manage plastic waste-to-cash sites that provide them and their communities with additional incremental income. From education, agriculture, to environment efforts, HOPE strives to inspire everyone to be heroes for the world.
