Snacking company Mondelēz International has partnered with the Philippine Business for Social Progress locally to contribute to alleviating the devastation caused by Typhoon Odette last December 2021. This partnership aims to help support the ongoing and immediate relief operations and strengthen the sustainability of areas affected by the Category 5 super typhoon.
Strong typhoons are not uncommon in the Philippines as a tropical country. However, the effects of weather disturbances have been worsening of late. Typhoon Odette’s strong winds brought much destruction to many regions in the country. Homes were damaged, livelihoods were lost, and day-to-day survival became difficult.
To help provide for the immediate needs of the residents in these areas, PBSP has mobilized to date P28.02 million pesos for SPHERE-standard family packs and shelter repair kits from various donors including Mondelēz International. Each family pack contains 10 kilos of rice, 5 cans of sardines, 5 cans of canned meat, 1 pack of biscuits, 50g coffee, 1/2 kg of brown sugar, ¼ kg of iodized salt, 1 bar of soap, and 6 liters of bottled water.
“We’re committed to growing our business by making our snacks in the right way , with positive impact for people and the planet,” shares Atty. Joseph Fabul, Country Manager for Corporate and Government Affairs of Mondelēz International in the Philippines. “While immediate support is needed in the areas where Typhoon Odette caused destruction, the second half of our partnership with PBSP will be focused on supporting the sustainability of lives in these areas.
