The Green Gala Awards, part of the Climate Change Week celebration, recognizes corporations, organizations, and individuals who have demonstrated exceptional commitment and dedication towards creating a greener and more sustainable world.
“This esteemed recognition at the Green Gala Awards reflects Globe’s steadfast dedication to environmental sustainability. We would like to thank Climate Change Commissioner Albert dela Cruz & Rotary Club of Makati Business District for this recognition,” said Yoly Crisanto, Chief Sustainability and Corporate Communications Officer of the Globe Group.

The award underscores Globe’s strategic shift to renewable energy and deployment of over 9,000 green network solutions, including solar hybrid gensets and onsite solar panels, as well as utilization of intelligent monitoring systems for energy efficiency. These initiatives not only improve operational efficiency and reduce greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions but also demonstrate the company’s leadership in integrating sustainable business practices.
Globe’s commitment extends to its supply chain, where it encourages partners, vendors, and suppliers to adopt sustainable practices as its supply chain is a key enabler in helping the company be recognized as the Most Sustainability Driven Network in the Philippines. This holistic approach ensures that environmental sustainability is ingrained in every aspect of the company’s operations.
