Assistant goes to Green Retail Agenda

Body shop's core value has been going green

Engr Jovito of Green Architecture Movement

Going green is not just a fad but an urgent need. From the simple waste segregation, fashion designs innovations (ike RIIR) and even Interior Design (PSID pioneered the EARTH Designs), we can definitely make a change in our own little way. SM has been changing the way they design their malls. They made a skygarden that promotes blending of modern architecture with the environment. All Comfort room urinals have been replaced by waterless and water efficient water closet. Jollibee did the same for their food chains replacing air conditioing units with cost efficient ones. What was interesting was The Body Shop, which is practicing Green since they started more than 2 decades ago. Recycling karts into display boxes, recycled bottles and the use of organic products lessen the carbon footprint we leave behind. The way we do product production has to be changed and be sustainable. As retailers, it is a social responsibility to help preserve the environment and give the consumers products of great value.
