21 October 2024 – Globe, the leading telecommunications company in the Philippines, has shifted 20 of its facilities to 100% renewable energy supply through ACEN Renewable Energy Solutions (ACEN RES), with three other sites in the process of transition with guaranteed renewable energy supply from ACEN.

These facilities include the Globe Tower, its corporate headquarters in BGC, Taguig, which shifted to RE in 2019, with some more sites set for transitioning this year. This strategic move underscores Globe’s commitment to sustainability and its active role in promoting renewable energy adoption in the country.

Globe partnered with ACEN RES, the retail electricity supply unit of the Ayala group, for its proven track record in delivering sustainable and reliable renewable energy solutions. Through this partnership, Globe aims to reduce its carbon footprint as part of its net zero strategy. By transitioning to RE, these facilities avoided an estimated 42,000 metric tons of carbon dioxide released into the atmosphere from Globe’s 2023 consumption.

Eric Francia, president and CEO of ACEN, said: “Digitalization and sustainability are at the very core of the Ayala group. We are excited to harness these synergies with Globe and help empower the Filipino people in a sustainable manner.”

Ernest Cu, president and CEO of Globe, expressed his gratitude for the partnership with ACEN RES: “This milestone marks a significant step towards our goal of transitioning to renewable energy. By working together with ACEN RES, we are not only reducing our carbon footprint but also demonstrating our commitment to providing innovative digital solutions for Filipinos towards a sustainable future.”

To commemorate this achievement, Eric Francia and Ernest Cu unveiled Globe’s Powered by Renewable Energy badge at the Globe Tower. The badge is awarded by ACEN RES to its customers who have shifted to 100% renewable energy supply. Globe’s badge serves as a testament to the company’s dedication to sustainability and its active role in promoting renewable energy adoption in the Philippines. This partnership with ACEN RES further strengthens Globe’s position as a leader in the telecommunications industry, demonstrating its commitment to environmental stewardship and sustainable business practices.
