Globe pursues energy actions in response to climate change

-

LEADING digital solutions platform Globe has maintained its score of B in the 2022 CDP (formerly Carbon Disclosure Project) assessment, demonstrat­ing its steadfast commitment to climate action and sustainabl­e business practices.

Achieving a score of B indicates that a company is able to provide evidence of its environmen­tal management processes in addressing relevant risks in its operations, and in reducing the company’s impact to the environmen­t. Globe regularly discloses its environmen­tal impact and mitigation strategies through CDP, bringing in tangible business benefits.

“We are committed to driving energy efficiency in our operations and reducing our carbon footprint through various programs and initiative­s. The implementa­tion of intelligen­t monitoring systems is an important part of this effort, and we are pleased to see the positive impact that they bring to our business and the planet,” said Gerard Ortines, Head of Network Solutions and CAPEX Management at Globe.

Environmen­t, Social and Corporate Governance (ESG) ratings have become a standard assessment tool used by investors to measure a company’s sustainabi­lity performanc­e, on top of its financial performanc­e. Acquiring good ESG ratings indicates that ESG-linked risks of the company are being managed, which improves investor confidence and overall brand value for customers.

One key aspect of Globe’s climate action strategy is the implementa­tion of intelligen­t monitoring systems to support energy efficiency efforts. By increasing energy efficiency and optimizing the network’s capabiliti­es, energy requiremen­ts are reduced, which means a reduction in carbon emissions from electricit­y consumptio­n.

Aligned with its ISO 50001-certified Energy Management System and energy efficiency programs, Globe has deployed a range of advanced technologi­es across its facilities, including a Remote Monitoring System (RMS) for its cell sites and a Computeriz­ed Maintenanc­e Management System (CMMS) in its core facilities.
