Watsons is strengthening its commitment to climate change with a target to offset 2,250 tons of carbon dioxide (CO2) emissions. With the social purpose tagline “Look Good. Do Good. Feel Great.” First launched in March this year, Watsons will contribute a part of its profits to CO2 offset projects in collaboration with ClimatePartner, a climate protection organisation, for every purchase of Sustainable Choice products exclusively at Watsons.

According to Malina Ngai, CEO of A.S. Watson (Asia & Europe) sustainability is a key priority for the brand and it has invested HK$750 million in sustainability-related initiatives since 2018. “Our flagship health & beauty brand Watsons is passionate to lead change in sustainability and proactively strives to do good to the planet together with our customers. Sustainable Choices at Watsons now comes with an extra level of meaning – carbon emission offset by supporting products that are good for both your body and the planet,” said Ngai.

ClimatePartner has been working on many carbon offset projects that compensate for greenhouse gas emissions whilst improving the livelihood of people around the world. Now, Watsons is supporting ClimatePartner’s Forest Protection and Clean Ocean initiatives. The Forest Protection project not only aims to fight climate change, but it also hopes to preserve wildlife habitat.
