Create a Better World with Watsons Sustainable Choices
AS Watson Group sees sustainability as a top priority – not just because it’s the right thing to do, but also because it’s the only way to ensure a sustainable future for our business and all our stakeholders. That’s why our flagship health and beauty brand, Watsons, is now strengthening its commitment to fighting climate change. Sustainable Choices products at Watsons make it easy for customers to Do Good with us and we aim to offset over 2,000 tons of Carbon Dioxide (CO2) emissions.

Everyone wants to give their dad a truly special present on Father’s Day, and for many dads, a bottle of wine is a thoughtful and much-appreciated gift. This year, Watson’s Wine provided a unique way for that gift to feel even more special. A professional calligrapher was available to personalise bottles of wine bought for Father’s Day gifting, and wrote the name of each lucky father on bottles.
