Globe has secured the ISO 50001:2018 certification for Energy Management System (EnMS) which is expected to further help the company achieve its strategy to achieve Net Zero greenhouse gas emissions by 2050.

The company said the EnMS will help in implementing a climate ambition of transitioning to a low-carbon operation by laying out a framework for carbon reduction and operational efficiency apart from enabling the firm to pursue alternative energy sources and energy-saving technology and equipment in its operations.

Globe said energy-efficient designs will also be incorporated to improve monitoring and performance across all facilities and contribute to the company’s operational energy efficiency targets and objectives.

The certification covers key facilities such as corporate offices, data centers, core network, cell sites and stores. The certification initiative is also in compliance with the Energy Efficiency and Conservation Act requirements to implement a systematic Energy Management System into the business operations.

“Last year, we made sure that we implemented our EnMS in accordance with the ISO 50001 standards. We wanted to ensure energy efficiency, responsible energy procurement, and improved equipment utilization in our facilities. We are proud to successfully meet all the requirements and complete the certification audit by BSI Singapore,” said Rizza Maniego-Eala, Globe’s chief finance officer and chief risk officer in a statement.

Apart from the EnMS, Globe said it also conducted an energy audit to identify opportunities for improvement to ensure that targets at the facility-level are met. Opportunities include upgrading current equipment or installing new equipment to improve energy efficiency within its operations.

So far, Globe shifted 14 key facilities to 100 percent renewable energy through power purchase agreements with retail electricity suppliers.

It also deployed over 8,500 green network solutions such as fuel cell systems, direct current hybrid generators, free cooling systems and lithium-ion batteries that use cleaner fuel with lower emissions, consume less diesel fuel and provide energy-efficient heat removal.
