Globe Telecom once again receives the title of the Philippines’ Most Sustainable Brand for the second straight year, according to Standard Insights. Along with multiple other recognitions, including the ESG Initiative of the Year at the Asian Telecom Awards 2024, this award shows just how the company has been successful in its commitment to integrate sustainability into its core business.
The Commitment
To Sustainability In Action
It is clear that Globe is serious in its commitment to achieving Net Zero emissions by 2050. The large investments in technology made by the tech giant are prime examples of this commitment, which include the establishment of AI-driven energy management systems and power-saving Base Transceiver Stations (BTS).
As a result, overall emissions have been reduced by 4.42%, without sacrificing network quality. In fact, service delivery has greatly improved, operational costs lowered by reducing energy consumption and the company’s carbon footprint greatly reduced across thousands of network sites.
Innovations In Social Development
The company’s leadership in sustainability is also seen beyond environmental initiatives. Its Future Makers Program, a program supporting social innovators in the technology sector, provides technical support, mentorship, and networking opportunities, positioning Globe at the forefront of technology-driven social development.
Workplace Excellence
and Community Engagement
Structured employee engagement is also one of the strategies to ensure that Globe’s corporate sustainability focus is embedded into its operations. One of these programs is a volunteer time-off policy, allowing two days annually for community service. This policy has contributed to the company’s recognition as Employer of the Year at the HR Excellence Awards 2024, strengthening its position in talent management and corporate citizenship.
Community Investment
Beyond Philanthropy
Through partnerships with organizations like Kiva, Globe has supported micro-enterprises. These programs represent a more strategic and sustainable approach to community investment, going beyond the tradition of corporate philanthropy and resulting in lasting economic opportunities for local communities. By supporting small businesses and entrepreneurs, Globe helps create sustainable livelihoods while at the same time strengthening its presence in local markets.
Business Results
Globe’s consistent recognition as the Most Sustainable Brand is a reflection of its success in aligning the business with environmental and social responsibility, resulting in customer loyalty, investor relations, and long-term market competitiveness in the telecommunications sector.
Toward 2050
As the company works toward its 2050 Net Zero target, these consecutive sustainability recognitions in 2024 creates a new standard for telecommunications companies in the region.
With this integrated approach to CSR, Globe continues to demonstrate that sustainable business practices drive concrete results, proving that environmental leadership and business excellence can go hand in hand, setting new standards for sustainable practices in the telecommunications sector.
