In a prestigious recognition that underscores its commitment to sustainable business practices, Globe Telecom has been named one of the World’s Most Sustainable Companies for 2025 by TIME Magazine and Statista. This accolade marks Globe as the sole telecommunications company from the Philippines to be included in this esteemed global ranking, setting it apart among 500 firms worldwide that have excelled in environmental, social, and governance (ESG) metrics. The selection process involved a rigorous evaluation of over 5,000 companies across more than 30 countries, highlighting the significance of Globe's achievement, particularly within the Southeast Asian region where only 11 companies made the cut.
The recognition is not just a badge of honor; it reflects Globe's unwavering commitment to harnessing telecommunications and technology as a conduit for nation-building. Carl Cruz, President and CEO of Globe, expressed the importance of this acknowledgment, stating, "Sustainability is not just about targets—it's about making real progress for the people and communities we serve. Being included in this list affirms that we're on the right track, and underscores our commitment to continuous improvement."
Key metrics that contributed to Globe's recognition include an AA rating from MSCI ESG Research, the provision of externally assured annual Integrated Reports, and its status as an active participant in both the UN Global Compact and the Race to Zero campaign. Globe has actively embraced the shift towards clean energy, with statistics revealing that 24% of its electricity came from renewable sources in 2024. The company has ambitious plans to transition over 150 additional sites to sustainable power models in the next two years.
Furthermore, Globe has installed over 38,000 green network solutions, contributing to a significant reduction in greenhouse gas emissions through enhanced energy efficiency and alternative fuel sources. On the social front, the company has prioritized workplace inclusivity, actively ensuring that women comprise 44% of its workforce and offering same-sex benefits to employees. Globe has also earned the ISO 450012018 certification, denoting its dedication to maintaining superior occupational health and safety standards.
Yoly Crisanto, Chief Sustainability and Corporate Communications Officer at Globe, articulated that the company's ranking reflects a strategic initiative to elevate its ESG efforts from mere compliance to being a proactive contributor to the business's overall success. "We are proud to represent the Philippines on the world stage and show that homegrown companies can lead with impact," she remarked.
The recognition of Globe is further complemented by the acknowledgment of Ayala Land, Inc., another member of the Ayala Group, which also succeeded in making the same prestigious list. This underscores a collective commitment among companies within the group to prioritize responsible and sustainable business practices.
