foodpanda releases social advocacy report, highlights impact on sustainability

Online food and grocery delivery platform foodpanda has unveiled its latest corporate social advocacy (CSA) report, pandapurpose, which outlines the social and economic contributions of its various programs and initiatives. 

“The company has implemented numerous measures to minimize food wastage and address hunger, partnering with various vendors and organizations to maximize its impact,” a foodpanda representative stated. "This detailed report shows how committed we are to sustainability, cutting food waste, and fighting hunger. Releasing it during our 10th anniversary celebration highlights how important these efforts are for the environment and society."

Fighting hunger and food wastage

A notable collaboration is with Scholars of Sustenance Philippines (SOS PH), a reliable partner that rescues food items for donation to communities in need. This initiative also includes rescuing items from pandamart for distribution.

foodpanda's commitment extends further with its partnership with the World Food Programme through the ShareTheMeal initiative. This program allows app users to donate meals to local beneficiaries directly through the app, facilitating community support and engagement. 

Since 2023, these combined efforts have resulted in the donation of over 16,000 meals, addressing hunger and malnutrition across the nation.

“These initiatives ensure that surplus food reaches those in greatest need, helping to combat hunger and ensure no food goes to waste.”

KYLIX’s New Single “Another Life” Is Here And It’s About Forbidden Love

Singer-songwriter KYLIX is set to captivate audiences once again with the release of his latest single, “Another Life.” Drawing deeply from personal experiences and the poignant inspiration of Erik Matti's 2001 film Sa Huling Paghihintay, this new track delves into the complex emotions of loving someone you cannot be with in this lifetime. (OFFICIAL LYRIC VIDEO HERE)

“Another Life” is a touching narrative about the promise to pursue a beloved soul across lifetimes, driven by the hope that one day, circumstances will allow for their union. The song beautifully captures the essence of yearning for a love that remains just out of reach, with lyrics that echo the unspoken vows of finding each other again and again, until the stars align.

At the heart of the song is its evocative chorus, which KYLIX delivers with emotional intensity: "There's no goodbye / If there was no you and I / I'll find you in another life / And I won't say goodbye."
