Stevie-winner Coca-Cola Beverages Philippines Inc. (CCBPI) is a major player in the beverage industry in the Philippines, primarily engaged in the production, marketing, and distribution of non-alcoholic beverages, including Coca-Cola and its wide range of brands.

The company operates bottling plants throughout the country, ensuring that a diverse portfolio of beverages, from soft drinks to juice and water products, is available to meet consumer demands.

In addition to its core beverage offerings, CCBPI is dedicated to sustainability and environmental stewardship. The company implements initiatives to reduce its carbon footprint and improve water efficiency in its operations. For example, it focuses on using recycled materials for packaging and actively participates in community programs aimed at promoting recycling and waste management.

CCBPI also emphasizes the importance of community engagement and social responsibility. The company actively supports various local initiatives, including education and health programs, to improve the quality of life for communities across the Philippines. Through partnerships with non-governmental organizations and local governments, CCBPI contributes to the economic and social development of the regions where it operates, making it not just a beverage provider but a committed community partner. 

Nationwide Collection Program
Tapon to Ipon: Basta Klaro, Panalo! (“Discard to Earn: If It's Clear, It's a Win!”) is Coca-Cola Beverages Philippines Inc.'s (CCBPI) nationwide collection program for post-consumer clear PET plastic bottles, regardless of brand. This program is in line with Coca-Cola's global World Without Waste commitment—to collect and recycle every single bottle and can we sell by 2030.

“Tapon to Ipon” seeks to strengthen communities’ waste management systems through the establishment of collection and recycling centers for used plastic bottles. It takes its name from a play on Filipino words—tapon means “to throw away” or “discard” and ipon, which can mean “collect” or “earn,” and points to the incentivized nature of the program.

CCBPI taps its own commercial network to promote recycling and packaging circularity. All plastic bottles collected from Tapon to Ipon are diverted to and given new lives at PETValue Philippines – a pioneering bottle-to-bottle recycling facility. PETValue is CCBPI’s joint venture with Indorama Venture – a global leader in recycling and green technologies.

Launched in 2021, the program taps traditional trade outlets or sari-sari stores, to become collection hubs where consumers can drop off (tapon) their used clear PET plastic bottles and get incentives in return (ipon). Coca-Cola leverages its vast network of sari-sari stores to reach more communities— these outlets that serve as community landmarks that help bring Coca-Cola products closer to Filipino homes are now also collection hubs where people can return used clear plastic bottles of any brand. The program has a two-fold effect of heightening recycling education and collection within communities while contributing to the livelihood of a sector integral to the country’s economic recovery. To date, they have almost 700 sari-sari store collection hubs nationwide.

The support of local government units (LGU) has been key in the success of Tapon to Ipon. It has reached almost 170 cities and municipalities and is growing. In May 2021, CCBPI signed with the LGU of Basco, Batanes, to collect plastic bottles that have accumulated in their eco-center. Through this partnership, they collected over 10MT of used plastic bottles.

Coca-Cola Beverages Philippines Inc. won two Silver Stevies and a Bronze Stevie Award for Innovative Achievement in Corporate Social Responsibility, the Award for Innovation in Sustainability - Reuse and Recycle, Climate Protection and Sustainability Campaign of the Year, respectively, in the 2024 Asia-Pacific Stevie Awards.

Founded by Audrey Bevan, Stevie-winner Accent HR emerged from a keen observation of the limitations within conventional HR practices, which often reflect an Anglo-Saxon cultural bias. Recognizing that standardized HR approaches frequently do not resonate with diverse worldviews, Bevan set out to create a solution that embraces cultural differences rather than sidelining them.

Since its launch in 2022, Accent HR has positively impacted over 40,000 workers across the Asia-Pacific region. The organization acts as a trusted advisor for businesses struggling with cross-cultural communication. By helping clients turn multiculturalism into a strength, Accent HR aims to enhance engagement, lower attrition rates, and reduce workplace conflicts.

A Focus on Cultural Sensitivity
At the core of Accent HR’s philosophy is the understanding that effective communication must be culturally sensitive. The organization has shifted corporate communication strategies to align with the cultural norms of the communities it serves. A notable example includes a project with an Australian Indigenous organization, where Accent HR redesigned communication practices to prioritize oral traditions over written documents. This approach emphasized direct interactions, such as face-to-face meetings and phone calls, thereby strengthening connections between employees and the organization. 

The success of this initiative showcases how culturally adaptable communication can significantly improve workplace interactions and foster growth.

Innovations in HR and Employee Development
Accent HR is redefining the HR and employee development landscape by addressing the often-overlooked cultural challenges in the workplace. Instead of merely celebrating diversity, the organization focuses on practical strategies to engage employees from various backgrounds.

Recruitment: Recognizing that candidates from different cultures may express their experiences differently, Accent HR assists organizations in accurately interpreting these responses, considering the cultural context.

Leadership: The organization educates HR teams and managers on the nuances of cross-cultural behaviors. For instance, avoiding eye contact may be a cultural norm, and understanding these differences can lead to more effective management practices.

Leave Entitlements: Accent HR promotes an understanding of cultural obligations, such as traditional ceremonies and family commitments, ensuring that diverse employees feel recognized and valued.

Through these initiatives, Accent HR not only enhances workplace harmony but also fosters a culture where every employee's background is respected and celebrated. Clients report improved team performance and satisfaction, leading to longer retention rates and a deeper connection to their leadership teams.

Accent HR aims to revolutionize the field of HR by turning traditional practices on their head. By reimagining the approach to cultural diversity in the workplace, the organization positions itself as a leader in fostering inclusive environments where every cultural background is not just acknowledged but cherished.

As businesses navigate the complexities of a global workforce, Accent HR's innovative strategies serve as a valuable resource for achieving true cultural integration and enhanced organizational performance.

Accent HR won a Bronze Stevie^® Award for Excellence in Innovation in Business Product & Service Industries - Up to 20 Employees in the 2024 Asia-Pacific Stevie Awards.
