The Department of Trade and Industry (DTI) spearheads the month-long celebration of CWM this October, starting with the DTI Bagwis Fun Run on 01 October 2023 at the Quezon City Memorial Circle.
This year's CWM theme is “GenS: Generation Sustainable”, emphasizing the rise of more environmentally conscious consumers, the importance of responsible consumption, and adopting sustainable lifestyles to foster genuine and long-term change. It highlights the importance of consumers consciously making sustainable choices when purchasing goods and services and supporting government-led initiatives and grassroots efforts to promote sustainability. For this year, the theme is based on the 7Rs of Sustainability: Rethink, Refuse, Reduce, Reuse, Recycle, Repurpose, and Repair.
“The DTI hopes that celebrating CWM would inspire a shift in consumer behavior, encouraging them to adopt more sustainable practices. We can all help protect our planet for future generations by working together and making small changes in our daily lives”, says DTI Assistant Secretary Jean T. Pacheco, Officer-in-Charge of the Consumer Protection Group (CPG).
Throughout the month, the DTI will hold activities aligned with the 7Rs to help create interest and awareness on Sustainable Consumption and Production (SCP). In addition, a wide range of affordable manufactured goods will be up for grabs as the DTI continues to hold the Diskwento Caravan in Makati City, Quezon City, and San Juan City. Other activities include webinars, monitoring, and laboratory visits. The DTI Regional and Provincial Offices will likewise conduct various activities such as Quiz Bee, Zumba, Seminar, Poster Making Contest, Diskwento Caravan and Awarding of Bagwis Seals, among others.
For more information about the 2023 CWM activities, everyone is enjoined to visit the DTI Consumer Care page or send an email to CPAB@dti.gov.ph.
