Greening the Globe
Globe Telecom Environmental Strategy
Globe Telecom continues to aspire growth in all facets of the business but at the same time in fully taking care of the planet. The
efforts to minimize impacts persist through the Environmental Management System being implemented in the workplace. The
system already began in 2011 for the Valero Telepark office as certified by the ISO 14001 (Environmental Management System)
while certification of GT-IT Plaza in Cebu started in 2012 with completion in 2014. Such initiatives and environmental system in
place contribute to a greener and more sustainable Globe Telecom.
