Brands For Good Awards 2026










Founded in 2016, Coco Veda Singapore Pte Ltd was born from a desire to create a business where 'doing good is good business.' The organization serves as a bridge between the rural coconut farming communities of the Philippines and the lifestyle wellness market, providing high-quality, plant-based products while aiming to addressing generational poverty in the long run once the brand has significant scale.
Coco Veda operates on a triple-bottom-line philosophy focusing on People, Planet, and Profit. The company’s mission is centered on uplifting livelihoods by working directly with farmer cooperatives, bypassing middlemen to ensure that farmers receive fair compensation. Their production facility in Manila is staffed exclusively by an all-women operations team, providing them with professional training and the dignity of economic independence.
"We started with a mission to embed Environmental, Social and Economic Impact that's scaleable and measurable."
At the heart of the brand is a 'less is more' approach to manufacturing. Coco Veda has pioneered a waterless and alcohol-free production process, creating highly concentrated, sustainable wellness oils, shampoos, washes, soaps, lotions, creams, scrubs and a few other categories. This methodology not only reduces the brand's carbon footprint but also aligns with the United Nations Sustainable Development Goals, specifically targeting responsible production (SDG #12) and reducing inequalities (SDG #10) amplified through partnerships (SDG #17)
Coco Veda's commitment to environmental & social impact has earned significant accolades, including being named a Champion at the Brands for Good 2025 Awards and receiving the 'Business for Good' honor.
The brand is a NVPC Company of Good Alumni, has received the AmCham Cares recognition three years in succession and is a proud member of raiSE (Singapore Centre for Social Enterprise).
The market footprint is growing within Singapore both offline and online and has successfully reached major retail online platforms like Singapore Airlines' KrisShop, iShopChangi, METRO Department Store, The Green Collective, MaNaMobile Health Platform and others proving that a purpose-driven model can achieve commercial success.
Coco Veda aims to continue expanding the footprint with a goal of scaling its social enterprise model across 25 markets. By leveraging digital technology and maintaining a steadfast commitment to its 'Farm-to-Conscious-Consumer' impact mission, the company envisions a future where conscious consumerism creates a lasting ripple effect of empowerment and environmental stewardship.
