Nanette Medved-Po shares the narrative of her advocacies and the eco-warriors behind a revolutionary solution to plastic pollution
It all started with a bottle of water. In 2012, Nanette Medved-Po, founder of the impact company HOPE, was focused on proving that products that invest in social good will get public support. A dozen years later, besides proving that she was right, she has also made an impact on education, the environment and the livelihood of the many communities she works with. She continues to do so through various efforts under HOPE and the global platform Plastic Credit Exchange (PCX). But despite her part in all these endeavours, she refuses to take credit.
“This is not my story,” Medved-Po says as she walks with me into the studio for Tatler’s cover shoot. “This is their story. Everything was made possible by my team and all the Aling Tinderas whom I am really proud of.” More on those individuals later.
