Globe deploys 570 hybrid, electric vehicles across operations

Globe Telecom Inc. had deployed at least 570 hybrid and electric vehicles across its employee car plans, shuttle services and company fleet as of August 2026, as part of efforts to reduce fuel consumption and greenhouse gas emissions.

135 of the vehicles were leased hybrids used by field sales and operations personnel. It aims to increase the number of electric vehicles in its company fleet to at least 500 by 2028, Globe said in a statement on October 30.

Globe has also installed electric vehicle charging stations in five of its buildings and plans to extend the facilities to more locations.

Globe also said it is incorporating carbon costs into investment decisions through a shadow internal carbon price of $20 per tonne of carbon dioxide.

The mechanism is intended to account for the environmental impact of projects and encourage the selection of energy-efficient equipment, including inverter air conditioners and hybrid and electric vehicles.

Globe reported a 15 percent reduction in Scope 1 and 2 emissions, exceeding its 4.2 percent reduction target. Scope 3 emissions fell by 9.5 percent, against a target of 2.5 percent.

Jerry Cabiles, Globe’s vice president for supply chain, said the company is integrating climate considerations into its operations and investments as part of its efforts to reduce environmental impact and strengthen business resilience.

Cabiles said the initiatives form part of Globe’s broader emissions reduction program and its commitment to achieving net-zero emissions.
