Globe supports innovation, in line with the United Nations Sustainable Development Goals. With its collective efforts with the National Fisheries Research and Development Institute (NFRDI) and the Bureau of Fisheries and Aquatic Resources (BFAR), Globe aims to enable the sector through a technology-based solution called ISDApp. The app was developed in collaboration with iNON IT Solutions and provides accessible weather alerts via SMS.

ISDApp is the first community app in the Philippines that aids fisherfolk with the power of data, even if they do not have smartphones and Internet connection. It communicates weather information and helps improve the fisherfolk’s understanding of the environment they work in.

ISDApp converts collected localized weather data into simplified weather forecasts and sends them to the registered mobile numbers. Since it uses text messaging, members can receive timely weather alerts even without a smartphone.

“The local fishing sector plays a vital role in our country’s economy. It is a key source of jobs and a major contributor to our country’s food industry. Through the ISDApp program, we do our best in supporting them, as they have supported us,” said Yoly Crisanto, chief sustainability and corporate communications officer at Globe.
