Marks & Spencer is doing its part to help the environment. Marks
& Spencer stores in the Philippines will start using paper bags
made of biodegradable material. The new paper bag is part of Marks
& Spencer’s Plan A campaign to Reduce Waste—Reuse and
Recycle.
Plan A is a campaign to tackle some of the
biggest challenges facing the business and our world today. By
working closely with suppliers and customers, Marks & Spencer
will do its part to combat climate change, reduce waste, safeguard
natural resources, trade ethically and build a healthier nation.
Plan A is being initiated in the Marks & Spencer stores all over
the world. Marks & Spencer believes addressing the bigger issues
that face our world today are what customers want and it is the
right thing to do. It’s called Plan A because it is now the only
way to do business. There is no Plan B.
Besides the paper bags made out of biodegradable
material, other Plan A initiatives have also been introduced.
Fair partner
Marks & Spencer’s Fairtrade products help
small-scale farmers in developing countries to invest in their
communities. Fairtrade certification gives customers an independent
guarantee that the farmers who produce the product get a fair price
for their crop plus a “Fairtrade Premium,” which is invested
into their community. From coffee and tea, to chocolates, to organic
cotton T-shirts, Marks & Spencer is committed to responsible
sourcing and feel as passionate about ethical standards as they do
about quality.
Sustainable raw materials
Marks & Spencer is famous for innovative
products. But now innovation and safeguarding natural resources are
married successfully through the introduction of a stylish and
comfortable pair of trousers entirely made of recycled polyester.
The recycled bottle trousers for women are
available in all Marks & Spencer stores, while the Blue Harbour
Golf recycled gilet is available at Marks & Spencer Shangri-La
Plaza Mall, Glorietta 4, Greenbelt 3 and TriNoma.
Healthy eating
Marks & Spencer has also made eating a lot
healthier by removing hydrogenated fats and artificial colors,
flavors, sweeteners and unnecessary preservatives from a wide range
of food products. Eating healthier is also made a lot simpler by
just looking for the sunflower logo on packaging, which symbolizes
Marks & Spencer food products that fall under the “Eat Well”
range. The “Eat Well” sunflower logo helps to easily identify
healthy and nutritionally balanced food at a glance. These products
also include the statement “Recommended as part of a healthy
balanced diet” on the back of the pack. Some of the great tasting
“Eat Well” foods include Redcurrant Puffs, Chocolate Chunk
cookies, Cream of Mushroom Soup and Luxury Bran Muesli.
More than just having a commitment to great food
and clothing, you can now count on Marks & Spencer to give you
eco-friendly, healthy, and ethically sourced food and clothing with
the same high quality standards they’ve always been known for.
Marks & Spencer stores are located at
