Globe President and CEO Ernest Cu talks about the company’s culture of Treating People Right to do a Globe of Good
“As the Philippines' leading telecommunications company, Globe is in the position to improve the lives of the Filipino people, and as such, considers this as its most important purpose. To uplift the nation, however, we must first uplift our own people by ensuring they find purpose and meaning in their work. We believe we can achieve meaningful outcomes by aligning our employees’ purpose with the company’s own,” said Renato Jiao, Globe Chief Human Resource Officer.

The CSR initiative’s focus area includes community engagement, environment, and social empowerment.

As the purveyor of Filipino digital lifestyle, Globe is anchoring its key initiatives on its four-point program: Care for the Environment, Care for People, Positive Societal Impact, and Digital Nation.

“As we grow the company, we make sure that every business decision or policy we make balances the needs of people, planet, and profit. It is in the best interest of Globe to create a wonderful world for people, businesses, and the nation,” said Yoly Crisanto, Globe Chief Sustainability Officer and Senior Vice President for Corporate Communications.

Globe recently launched a social innovation program called Globe Future Makers, which recognizes the most innovative technology solutions focused on solving social issues throughout the region. It collaborated with the world’s largest professional network of social innovators Ashoka and venture capital firm Kickstart, in a bid to help start-ups reach their full potential. Over 135 start-ups and individuals around the Philippines applied for the Globe Future Makers program – the highest number of applicants from Asia Pacific to date.

Other sustainability initiatives of Globe include its five-year partnership with Hineleban Foundation, leaders of reforestation efforts, food security, and sustainable livelihood development benefiting the indigenous communities in Bukidnon and Lanao del Sur. In 2017, a total of 120,091 seedlings planted on 120 hectares of land were donated to Hineleban.

Globe also helped reduce 17,000 tons of carbon dioxide through recycling and properly disposing 230,000 kilograms of waste materials using Project 1 Phone. With energy efficiency in mind, it equipped 3,017 cell sites in the Globe network with renewable energy and about 1,000 more with energy-saving methods as the company continues to expand coverage.

To sustain employee engagement, Globe implements a two-day paid time-off yearly for its employees to pursue their advocacies. In 2017, volunteerism in Globe reached an all-time high of 52.8% of total employee base, with 3,803 employees volunteering for various social development causes.
