Chevron PH does a 'KonMari' to declutter and donate to families in need

MANILA: Employees of Chevron Philippines Inc. (CPI) learned how to declutter for better clarity, efficiency, and productivity in both their personal and professional lives by following the KonMari method.

The workshop and donations were part of Chevron Volunteer Week. The KonMari method, Marie Kondo’s minimalist approach to decluttering, was introduced to Chevron employees as part of the Project Joy activity.

The volunteers were encouraged to let go of the things that no longer "spark joy" in their lives but may help others, especially underprivileged families in Naic, Cavite.

The donations were given by CPI through Project Pearls, which distributed various household items to people in Brgy. Malainen, Naic, Cavite, a relocation site for families from Tondo, Manila.

Chevron Volunteer Week is an annual week-long volunteerism program that fills the gap between those who want to help and those who need help.

In a statement, CPI Country Chairman and General Manager Billy Liu said, “Volunteerism is a key value of Chevron. It helps keep us mentally and physically healthy by providing a sense of purpose. The decluttering workshop was beneficial to all of us, be it at work or at home. It is indeed very fortunate that our employees got to donate and help along the process. I can’t think of a better way to wrap up our 2021 Volunteer Week than with Project Joy.”
