Globe has laid out its progress in building a more connected, resilient, and sustainable Philippines in its 2025 Integrated Report, titled “Foundations for the Future: Building Resilience Through a Connected Nation.” The document outlines how the company is embedding sustainability into its core strategy, balancing business growth with expanded digital access, environmental responsibility, and transparent reporting.
Recognizing that reliable internet is now critical for work, education, livelihood, and public services, Globe extended its 4G network to reach 96.41 percent of the country’s population in 2025, with continued focus on underserved and remote areas. It has also made significant strides in making connectivity more affordable: the cost of its most popular mobile data plans fell by nearly 60 percent between 2019 and 2025, including a 17 percent drop in the latest year. For home internet, prepaid fiber rates went down by 50 percent from 2022 to 2024, while the lowest postpaid fiber plan was cut by 75 percent with speeds now four times faster than before at the same price. Alongside infrastructure upgrades, the company is also rolling out digital skills training to help Filipinos participate safely and fully in the digital economy.
On environmental action, Globe exceeded its annual emissions targets in 2025, cutting Scope 1 and 2 greenhouse gas output by 15 percent year-on-year and Scope 3 emissions by 9 percent. Renewable energy now supplies 34 percent of its total power use, putting it on track to hit 42 percent by 2030. These steps are designed not only to support global climate goals but also to keep services stable amid changing weather patterns and resource challenges.
The report also highlights improved transparency and standard alignment. Globe has begun adopting the International Sustainability Standards Board’s IFRS S2 guidelines for climate disclosures, and its data has been independently verified. It has also completed its first Double Materiality Assessment to better understand both how social and environmental issues affect its operations, and how its work shapes communities and the environment. Chief sustainability and corporate communications officer Yoly Crisanto noted that Globe’s role goes beyond providing connections, stating that sustainability guides every decision to serve Filipinos responsibly while securing long-term value. Crisanto also represents the Management Association of the Philippines on the Philippine Sustainability Reporting Council, helping develop local guidance for businesses adopting global reporting standards.
