Three Globe portfolio companies — RUSH Technologies, ST Telemedia Global Data Centres Philippines (STT GDC Philippines), and m360 — were recognized at the 2025 Asia-Pacific Stevie® Awards for excellence in digital innovation, sustainable infrastructure, and business communications, respectively.
The annual competition, covering 29 markets, honors innovation across sectors. The latest wins affirm Globe’s broader strategy to empower businesses through technology and sustainability.
Leading the charge was RUSH, which clinched its third consecutive recognition for Innovation in Digital Transformation – Computer Industries, this time upgrading to a Gold Stevie® after two years of Silver awards. The company also took home Gold for Most Innovative Startup of the Year – Business Service Industries and Bronze for Most Innovative Tech Startup – Software.

STT GDC Philippines was recognized for its commitment to sustainable digital infrastructure with a Gold Stevie® and for transforming human resources through AI with a Silver award.
The firm, which operates renewable-powered data centers and a fully electric corporate fleet, is set to launch the LEED Gold-certified STT Fairview facility. “This recognition strengthens our resolve to lead with purpose,” said Chrissie Lim Legaspi, Head of Operations and Strategy.
The Silver award highlighted AI-driven talent development programs and sentiment analysis tools designed to future-proof its workforce.
