As 2023 draws to a close, Globe reflects on a transformative year marked by groundbreaking efforts in circularity. Globe demonstrated its commitment to environmental stewardship by making circular practices central to its approach, underpinned by responsible consumption and production. By emphasizing waste and pollution elimination, it aims to not only enhance resource efficiency, but also reduce operational carbon emissions. 

"Globe takes pride in integrating circularity as part of our sustainable business practices. We are glad to have set new benchmarks in promoting environmental stewardship with our circular initiatives. As we move forward, we are committed to pioneering innovative solutions to nurture a healthier planet," said Yoly Crisanto, Chief Sustainability and Corporate Communications Officer of the Globe Group.

Embedding Circular Innovation

in the Customer Experience

Globe's 2023 circularity journey saw the introduction of recyclable and upcyclable packaging for its Globe At Home GFiber Prepaid offer, setting the stage for transitioning the packaging of other products to more sustainable options.

The company also launched the new Gen 4 store at Glorietta 3, featuring 100% LED lighting, digital brand advertising screens replacing traditional tarpaulins and flyers, and digital infocards via tablet displays, eliminating the need for paper.

E-Waste Management:

Refocusing on the Value Chain

A significant aspect of Globe's sustainability efforts is the emphasis on proper e-waste management as its products and services rely on electronic devices and telecommunications equipment. Globe also distributes mobile phones, tablets, broadband devices and all of its peripherals to customers which contribute to value chain carbon emissions.

With this, the E-Waste Zero Program refocused to address the disposal of mobile and broadband devices. Globe is one of 12 leading mobile operators worldwide to adopt GSMA's new device circularity targets aimed at extending the lifespan of devices and promoting circularity.
