Globe has secured a place among global climate leaders after earning an A- rating for Climate from CDP in 2025, marking its entry into the leadership tier of the world’s leading environmental disclosure platform. The telecommunications company also received a B rating for water security in its first year of assessment, underscoring its expanding environmental action across multiple fronts.
CDP is a global nonprofit that operates the most comprehensive environmental disclosure system used by investors, governments, and capital markets to evaluate how organizations manage climate change, water security, and deforestation.
“This CDP Climate Leader rating reflects disciplined action, strong governance, and a clear commitment to transparency,” said Yoly Crisanto, Globe’s chief sustainability and corporate communications officer. “It confirms that our climate strategy is both credible and measurable.”
Its rigorous scoring framework assesses the quality and completeness of disclosures, the depth of risk management, governance practices, and evidence of measurable environmental leadership.
Globe’s A- climate score reflects years of structured and data-driven work to understand and reduce its environmental footprint. In 2021, the company conducted a climate scenario analysis to identify both physical and transition risks that could affect its operations.
It also maintains a comprehensive greenhouse gas inventory covering Scopes 1, 2, and 3, which serves as the foundation for its science-based targets and long-term roadmap toward achieving net-zero greenhouse gas emissions across its value chain by 2050.
Climate action at Globe extends across its operations, network infrastructure, and customer-facing initiatives. The company has shifted 171 cell sites, corporate offices, and key facilities to renewable energy through power purchase agreements.
It has also rolled out more than 38,000 green network solutions, including fuel cell systems, hybrid generators, free cooling technologies, and lithium-ion batteries—initiatives that cut emissions while strengthening network resilience and reliability.
Sustainability is increasingly embedded in Globe’s products and services as well. The company has expanded paperless billing and introduced EcoSIM cards made from recycled materials. In 2024, all postpaid SIMs procured by Globe were EcoSIMs, helping avoid the use of more than 1,200 kilograms of virgin plastic.
The continued promotion of eSIM adoption has further reduced plastic consumption and overall resource use.
On water stewardship, Globe’s B rating highlights tangible progress. Water efficiency remains a priority at The Globe Tower, the company’s headquarters and workplace for more than half of its employees.
The building is equipped with rainwater harvesting and water recycling systems that collect rainwater, air-conditioning condensate, and cooling water, which are treated and reused as graywater for non-potable purposes such as flushing, landscaping, and facility maintenance.
In 2024 alone, Globe reused more than 33,500 cubic meters of graywater, significantly lowering its demand for freshwater. These efforts are reinforced through water-efficient facility design and employee engagement initiatives, including motion-sensor faucets and internal campaigns that encourage responsible water use.
The latest CDP recognition builds on Globe’s growing list of sustainability milestones, including its designation as a Supplier Engagement Leader with an A score in 2024, as well as multiple international and regional awards for ESG performance.
Taken together, these achievements reflect Globe’s long-term commitment to responsible growth—one that aligns business resilience with climate action, resource stewardship, and transparency in a rapidly changing world.
