Globe Telecom has pledged its support for the national Forests for Life: 5M Trees by 2028 initiative of the Department of Environment and Natural Resources (DENR), marking a major step in its commitment to environmental sustainability. The initiative aims to rehabilitate forest areas across Ilocos Norte, Rizal, Leyte, Bataan, Bukidnon, and Lanao del Norte, reinforcing Globe’s ongoing efforts to combat climate change and promote greener practices in the Philippines.
In line with this year’s Earth Hour, Globe called on individuals, businesses, schools, and offices to participate in the global movement by switching off non-essential lights for one hour and adopting habits in everyday life that build a culture of sustainability.
Beyond Earth Hour, Globe urges everyone to consider energy-saving habits, such as unplugging appliances when not in use, unplugging electrical appliances and devices when not in use or not charging, and using the stairs when possible.
For its part, Globe continuously scales its climate initiatives, including a transition to renewable energy for high-consumption facilities, investments in energy-efficient network solutions, and the use of electric vehicle (EV) shuttles for employee transport.
“Protecting the environment requires consistent action and collaboration. Through our climate and other environmental programs and partnerships, we are making sustainability more accessible to communities and empowering individuals to make a positive impact,” said Yoly Crisanto, Globe’s Chief Sustainability and Corporate Communications Officer.
Globe’s efforts are anchored on its environmental sustainability priorities, including reducing greenhouse gas emissions within its value chain. The company also continues to welcome new partnerships with government agencies, NGOs, and the public to accelerate progress towards environmental goals.
Globe believes that protecting the planet is a shared responsibility. With sustained collaboration and active participation, a greener, more sustainable Philippines is within reach.
