Globe Telecom, Inc. is accelerating its shift to renewable energy, with plans to expand the number of sites powered by clean energy beyond the 171 sites already energized as of October.

“This year, we are broadening our scope. We have energized 171 sites as of October through the Retail Aggregation Program, a dramatic increase from the 29 sites in 2024,” Globe Chief Financial Officer Carlo Puno said during a summit on Tuesday.

Puno said the company will continue scaling up its renewable energy footprint through Power Purchase Agreements, on-site solar installations, and the Retail Aggregation Program. 

Programs such as the Green Energy Option Program and Retail Competition and Open Access have already helped cut electricity costs by around 10 percent, reduce reliance on imported fossil fuels, and strengthen operational stability.

Globe is also transitioning over 3,000 cell sites and other low-energy facilities in Metro Manila and Region IV-A to renewable energy, with the shift expected to finish by 2028. 

The company follows a science-based plan to cut Scope 1 and 2 emissions by 42 percent and Scope 3 emissions by 25 percent by 2030, aiming to reduce total emissions by 90 percent by 2050.

Meanwhile, Globe President and CEO Carl Cruz said the company is proactively expanding its fleet to hybrid and full electric vehicles, targeting over 500 vehicles by 2028 to further reduce its carbon footprint.

 “This long-term business aspiration is linked to climate change mitigation. From where I sit, this is not just a promise—it is backed by results. Our near- and long-term targets are verified by science,” Cruz said.

The company’s renewable energy transition supports the government’s goal to raise renewable energy’s share of electricity generation to 35 percent by 2030 and more than 50 percent by 2050.
