Tupperware Indonesia Donated 5,000 Baby Mangrove to Save the Environment

In partnership with World Wide Fund (WWF) Indonesia, Tupperware Indonesia supported their “MyBabyTree” program and donated 5,000 Baby Mangrove for two areas simultaneously, Muara Gembong-Bekasi (Jakarta) and Lamnga Village (Aceh) on March.

The act of planting the mangrove trees is part of an effort to save the environment. These trees planted will bring these areas back to their natural function as the preserved forest and to rectify the quality of environment around the area. This act is also a part of celebrating the World Water Day.

The purpose of the event is to open the public’s eye on the importance of clean water and to encourage them to reduce littering and help reduce sea and beach pollution.  “We feel obligated to contribute to the public and to the environment and keep encouraging people to commit to adopting green living into their daily lives.  By giving them understanding and educating them about the importance of green living for the earth and the environment,” stated Nining W. Pernama, Managing Director, Tupperware Indonesia.

TUPPERWARE BRANDS ASSISTS WITH RELIEF EFFORT FOR COMMUNITIES DEVASTATED BY HURRICANE SANDY

Massive Red Cross Relief response spans ten states

Days after Hurricane Sandy made landfall, challenges remain including fuel and food shortages and lack of electricity to more than 3.3 million customers in 15 states and the District of Columbia. Officials estimate total  economic damage at between $30 billion and $50 billion, making it the second most costly storm in U.S. history – after Katrina. We are very fortunate that none of our Tupperware Consultants have lost their lives, but we do know that there have been significant physical and personal losses and as always, our immediate reaction is to find a meaningful way to help.  

After evaluating how best to respond to these needs, we have decided on the action plan outlined below:

Action 1: Product Donation

  • $500,000 in Tupperware® products will be donated to the American Red Cross to be distributed at shelters for affected individuals to store valuables and personal effects. Thousands of American Red Cross disaster workers are providing aid and comfort to people affected by Hurricane Sandy.  Shelters are open across multiple states and operations are ramping up as communities become accessible.

Action 2: Tupperware Brands Emergency Relief Fund

  • The Tupperware Brands Foundation Emergency Relief Fund is making grants of up to $1,000 to assist eligible, active members of the Tupperware Sales Force and their immediate families who have been severely affected.  Details on eligibility and an application form will be available on my.tupperware.com.  
  • Funds may be distributed for purposes such as damage to property or personal injury of Sales Force members and their immediate families.
  • Continued access to Sales Force business continuity assistance via Customer Care.

 Action 3: Individual Donations

  • Tupperware Brands Associates, Sales Force Members and customers will be able to donate to the American Red Cross through a  disaster response microsite where Tupperware will match each donation, dollar for dollar, for up to $100,000.
  • This partnership allows us to contribute to relief efforts in the multiple geographic areas where our Sales Force members live and work.

 On behalf of Tupperware Brands, we thank you in advance for your efforts to help in this crucially needed disaster relief initiative and are confident in our ability to find strength in our unity.

Update From Channel Challenge’s John Collingwood From Simon Hemus, President & COO, Tupperware Brands

Today many of us have been glued to the internet watching John Collingwood’s progress as he attempted to swim across the English Channel. We have received word that due to the changing tide, exhaustion and hypothermia John had to be pulled out of the water. He was only 1/2 mile from the shore.

After months of endless training and personal sacrifice, we are proud of John’s discipline and determination in his desire to help change the lives of the youths of Boys & Girls Club of South Africa. And, we are still cheering him on!!

John’s heroic efforts should be an inspiration to all of us to try our hardest to bring positive change to the world.

Phenomenal effort John and job well done!
