In support of a climate-resilient future, Globe committed to support the Department of Environment and Natural Resources (DENR) in its project to plant five million trees by 2028.

The DENR initiative dubbed “Forests for Life: 5M Trees by 2028” targets the rehabilitation of degraded forest areas in Ilocos Norte, Rizal, Leyte, Bataan, Bukidnon and Lanao del Norte. Globe will contribute through reforestation, community engagement and other forms of assistance to help ensure the program’s success.

“Protecting the environment requires consistent action and collaboration. Through our climate and other environmental programs and partnerships, we are making sustainability more accessible to communities and empowering individuals to make a positive impact,” said Yoly Crisanto, Globe’s chief sustainability and corporate communications officer.

Globe’s efforts are anchored on its environmental sustainability priorities, including reducing greenhouse gas emissions within its value chain. The company also continues to welcome new partnerships with government agencies, non-government organizations and the public to accelerate progress towards environmental goals.

Internally, Globe continuously scales its climate initiatives by transitioning to renewable energy for high-consumption facilities, investing in energy-efficient network solutions, and using electric shuttles for employee transport.

Globe believes that protecting the planet is a shared responsibility. With sustained collaboration and active participation, a greener, more sustainable Philippines is within reach.
