Executive Assistant

Who we are:

HOPE, the Philippines' first certified B Corp, is an impact organization that has consistently been 'Best for the World.' 100% of its profits are invested in improving public school infrastructure, increasing livelihood opportunities, and enabling efforts that conserve the environment.

Launched in 2012, HOPE's mission was simple: to provide Filipinos with an easy way to vote with their peso about what was important to them. We put Education at the forefront of our movement, building much-needed public school classrooms through the sale of our flagship product, Hope in Bottle.

In 2014, HOPE branched out to livelihood opportunities through agricultural interventions with the overall goal of increasing income for smallholder coconut farmers. As of 2024, we are on track to planting 2 million coconut seedlings and we look to engage even more smallholder coconut farmers in Mindanao.

Not wanting to solve one problem by contributing to another, HOPE set an audacious goal of becoming the first Philippine brand to offset 100% of its plastic footprint, making sure we walk the talk towards a safer and cleaner planet. In the same year, HOPE also launched Aling Tindera, a waste-to-cash program that aims to divert plastic waste away from nature, provide incremental income to communities, encourage behavior change and educate the public about responsible plastic waste management.

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.
