Supply Chain Operations and Logistics Manager  

Who we are:

HOPE was founded in 2012 with one Mission: to provide Filipinos with an easy way to vote with their peso about what was important to them. As an Impact Company and the country's 1st B Corp, we put Education at the forefront of our movement, building much-needed public school classrooms through the sale of Hope in Bottle water. In 2016, we branched out into Agriculture interventions that would help secure the livelihood of thousands of smallholder farmers through the Hope in a Coconut campaign in partnership with the world's leading coconut water brands.

Most recently, in 2019, we created the Plastic Credit Exchange (PCX), which works with game-changing companies to sustainably neutralize their plastic footprints to promote Environmentally responsible consumption and make sure that we are working towards a safer, cleaner planet. All of these efforts come together to deliver on what we at HOPE promise – a movement leveraging the power of people to achieve great things Together.

Business for Good.
