Guided by the Environmental Sustainability Policy

launched in 2003 and revised in 2010, Globe creates a
wonderful world for you by operating responsibly and
creating positive environmental impact of our business
operations. Through various activities on energy, GHG,
waste management, and biodiversity protection, we
are committed to be a sustainable telecommunications
company by greening its value chain for future generations.
Our total investment for environmental programs on
reforestation, CSR programs, solid waste management, and
hazardous waste disposal and treatment cost summed up to
P5.7 million in the year 2014, 87 percent higher than the
previous year.
As a commitment to environmental preservation,
we continue to operate with certifications on ISO
14001 (Environmental Management System) and
OHSAS 18001:2007 (Occupational Health and Safety
Management Systems) granted by AJA Registrars on April
2014 for its Valero Telepark facility. Makati 2 Data Center
(MK2) also passed its ISO14001 certification surveillance
audit in 2014.
A quest to optimize energy consumption
G4-EN6
Over 50 percent of the total energy consumption of Globe
provides power to the network. In 2014, we completed
the nationwide rollout of our 3G and 4G network, using
the HSPA+ technology. With the $700 million network
modernization initiative, we continuously upgrade our
network and expand our footprint to further strengthen
mobile data infrastructure and deliver faster and more
reliable wireless internet connectivity for you, our
customers. With these initiatives on the network, there was
an 8.97 percent increase in total energy consumption for
additional cell sites in 2014.

Considerable cost reduction in electricity consumption has

been made in 2014, particularly for the Valero Telepark
and Makati 2 Data Center (MK2) in consideration of the
Electric Power Industry Reform Act (EPIRA), which allows
particular sites to choose the preferred supplier of electricity.
The Valero Telepark saves P1.84 million monthly or
P22.13 million annually, while MK2 cut down its costs by
P849,000 per month or P10.07 million at yearend.
Meanwhile, Globe enrolled 11 of its core sites to Meralcos
Peak/Off-Peak program wherein the cost of electricity varies
depending on the time of day. This resulted in an average
savings of three percent in electricity cost, translating to
savings of P500,000 per month or P6 million in 2014.
In the province of Marinduque, Globe negotiated with
Marinduque Electric Cooperative, Inc. to downsize outdoor
transformers in six sites on the island. This created accurate
power consumption charges where it was realized that only
20 percent was utilized compared to its 60 percent contract
capacity. So far, the downsized transformers have helped us
realize P160,000 in electricity cost savings monthly.
Even with the expansion, efficiency of the infrastructure

is regularly checked to optimize network capacity. On top
of converting some indoor cell sites into outdoor models,
and the installation of solar power and deep cycle battery
solutions, there was an initial roll out of fuel cell systems in
select cabinets, replacing the traditional diesel generator set.
The fuel cell, powered by methanol fuel, is a green power
solution that is silent to operate, with negligible emission
compared to diesel generators.
Power Usage Effectiveness (PUE) is a measure that Globe

adapted from data centers that determines how efficiently
an equipment uses energy, where the lowest number is
considered the most efficient. This initiative was done as
a pilot in 2014, where three sites were surveyed and were
able to reduce their respective PUE ratings to an acceptable
rating. We shall continue to monitor this program to ensure
that we achieve and maintain an ideal PUE rating and do a
full roll-out in the future.
Globe uses Direct Current Hybrid Power Unit (DC HPU)
in 16 sites located in areas without electricity. Unlike
traditional set ups where two gensets are used alternately
to power the site, the DCHPU employs a combination
of a genset and deep cycle batteries. The genset is used to
power the site and to recharge the batteries at the same
time. Once fully charged, the batteries will take over the
gensets function, after which the cycle is repeated. The use
of DCHPUs helped us save 18 hours worth of fuel daily
and 68 percent overall savings on fuel consumption and
maintenance costs.
The Free Cooling System (FCS) is used in 577 Globe
cell sites. This is an intelligent cooling system that adjusts
the type and amount of cooling required depending on
ambient temperature. At night and in the early morning
when it is often cooler, the sites will only employ blowers
which require little power to work. As the day progresses
and temperatures rise, only then will air-conditioning units
function, optimizing on how much cooling is needed.
As part of the efforts of Globe to incorporate sustainability
into our core operations, the CFC also introduced a
special Sustainability Award for the first time in 2014.
The team behind Project LUGAW (Lower Utilization and
Generation of Arduous Wattage) was the first recipient
of this honor. With electricity as the biggest operational
expense in the telecommunications business, Project
LUGAW aimed to reduce power costs in the network
facilities by six percent. Aside from allowing us to reduce
electrical consumption costs, the initiative also lessens
the companys carbon footprint and contributes to the
preservation of the environment.
Meanwhile, Globe continues to look for more ways to

optimize and efficiently use energy in our corporate offices
and other facilities. The use of laptops at the Globe Tower
consumes 185 watts less power per desktop PC, which
consumes 250 watts per unita 75 percent reduction.
Since transferring to The Globe Tower in 2013, we have
deployed a total of 4,180 laptops to employees. We
continue to adopt LED lighting technology in its facilities
to lessen power consumption with prolonged usage.
Lights are turned off or dimmed in unmanned Mobile
Switch Centers (MSC), data centers, Network Operation
Centers (NOC), and switch room areas. Centralized airconditioning is switched off 15 minutes earlier than office
closing time. Utilizing various internal communications
channels, energy conservation guidelines are proactively
released for all our employees with topics that include
switching off of unnecessary lights and unplugging of office
equipment.
Striking the balance between expansion
and emission reduction G4-EN19
Globe uses the International GHG Protocol Corporate
Accounting and Reporting Standard, a tool developed
by the World Resources Institute (WRI) to calculate and
monitor emissions from fuel use, CO2 emissions from
mobile combustion, purchased electricity, and from
business travel.
In 2014, an increase in carbon emission was mainly due to
network modernization and the expansion of our service
coverage to support customers needs. We tempered the
increase in our CO2 emissions for the year in a number
of ways.
One initiative was the reduction of long flights for business

travel by maximizing our teleconference facility at The
Globe Tower. From just 221 international teleconference
calls the previous year, employees made 1,067 calls in 2014.
Thus, despite increase in the number of short and medium
flights, CO2 emissions savings of long flights improved by
802.87 metric tons from 261.62 in 2013 to 1,064.49
in 2014.
As gadgets become more affordable and device makers

release new products at a blinding pace, consumers
tend to upgrade their gadgets sooner while storing away
their old ones instead of disposing these property. These
devices are often thrown together with common trash,
with owners unaware of the fact that phone batteries and
chargers usually contain toxic metals such as lead, mercury,
cadmium, and beryllium that may harm the environment
when these are released into the air or seep into the ground
and waterways.
In 2014, Globe streamlined its carpooling service, Globe

Shuttle, by cutting the number of vehicles in our fleet by
half while increasing the number of passengers that each
vehicle can carry, reducing 30 percent on fuel consumption.
To address this, Globe held the biggest electronic waste

recycling program in the Philippines, dubbed Project 1
Phone to which you, our customers, responded positively.
Collected e-wastes were given to our accredited partner
Total Environment Solutions Asset Material Management
(TES-AMM), the first in Asia to achieve certification on
Responsible Recycling (R2), for proper recycling
and disposal.
Creating value out of waste

Apart from minimizing CO2 emissions, Globe also
takes significant steps in reducing waste produced from
products and operations to further lower our impact on
the environment. Waste management efforts remain in full
implementation on all Globe sites. The solid waste, e-waste,
and hazardous waste we generated are tracked whole year
round to monitor our environmental impact and to ensure
not only a wonderful but also a clean and green world for
all of us.
More than just creating awareness on e-waste reduction

and disposal, Project 1 Phone also helped build schools in
the province of Aklan, one of the provinces worst hit by
Super Typhoon Yolanda in November 2013. Proceeds of
the program helped construct 10 more school buildings

in addition to the 40 we have already committed as

development sponsor of Aklan under the Office of the
Presidential Assistance on Rehabilitation
and Recovery (OPARR).
Globe has also engaged over 50 enterprise clients and
partner institutions including Manila Water, Coca-Cola
Philippines, OXFAM, Ateneo de Manila University,
Bank of the Philippine Islands, Cloudfone, BayanTel
Communications, Aboitiz Equity Ventures, League of
Corporate Foundations, and Del Monte Foundation to
name a few. Aside from the collection bins for the personal
mobile devices, they have also donated corporate e-waste
directly to Globe.
In addition to properly disposing e-waste, Globe also took
significant steps in managing hazardous waste that include
used lead acid batteries, busted fluorescent lamps,
and used oils.
Since 2003, Globe has implemented a recycling program in
cooperation with ABS-CBN Foundations Bantay-Baterya
Project and the DENR-Environment Management Bureau.
Part of this program is the recycling of used lead acid
batteries that were generated from our telecom operations,
of which 222,857 kilograms of these batteries were properly
recycled in 2014. This helped it generate P6.421 million
where P4 million were donated to Bulig Bisaya to help
rebuild classrooms in Yolanda-stricken areas in the province
of Aklan.
Busted fluorescent lamps can be harmful to the

environment as these contain mercury. Globe treated
1,125 of these busted lamps in 2014, after which 45,000
milligrams of liquid mercury were collected and properly
disposed of.
We also recovered 2,330 liters of used oil in 2014,
generating P22,205.25 from recycling which were
then donated to ABS-CBN Foundation, Inc. for its
environmental programs.

Globe recorded a total of 97,750 kilograms of solid waste

from its corporate offices nationwide, 30 percent lower
from 2013 as a result of the transfer to The Globe Tower
and The Globe Tower Cebu. The Reduce, Reuse, and
Recycle (3R) campaign was delivered through a phoneography
contest to increase awareness. All printed communication
materials distributed in the offices had the 3R logo to
remind employees to read, keep, and dispose of these
collaterals to avoid clutter and litter within the premises.
Meanwhile, solid waste management is not limited to
employees within the facilities. We also give all Globe
Postpaid customers the Paperless Billing option. If you are
a Globe Postpaid subscriber, you will receive an electronic
bill that will enable you to receive your billing statement
on time and provide you with access to your statement

online through your registered e-mail address, the Globe
MyAccount web portal, with the GServices app, and the
USSD menu by dialing *143#. Through this initiative,
use of paper is reduced while helping us save on the cost
of printing and courier delivery to our customers. 2014
ended with 1,095,499 postpaid customers enrolled in the
electronic bill, a 58 percent increase from previous year.
This equates to 4,381,996 pieces of paper saved, equivalent
to 5,048 trees conserved annually.
Protecting the countrys rich biodiversity

G4-EN11, G4-EN12
Globe aims to minimize our impact on natural resources
especially in the Philippines rich biodiversity areas.
Reforestation programs are in place to offset carbon
emitted from our operations and the communities that
we operate in. As of end 2014, we have planted a total of
418,077 trees, equivalent to 122.93 hectares of land in 30
locations nationwide in partnership with Department of
Environment and Natural Resources (DENR). Through
this initiative, we have helped in the preservation and
conservation of upland forests in Batangas, Bulacan, Cebu,
Tacloban, Bacolod, CDO, Davao, Guimaras, Zambales,
Laguna, Palawan, Bohol, Rizal, Cordillera, Boracay, and
Globe works with different NGOs and environmental
agencies to help in the thrust to protect biodiversity.
In 2014, our environmental advocacy was further
strengthened when we joined the United States Agency for
International Development (USAID) and the Foundation
for the Philippine Environment (FPE) in improving
biodiversity conservation in key protected areas. We provide
mobile technology as a critical tool to enable indigenous
peoples organizations to be actively engaged; for service
payment and advisory support to be efficient; and for the
programs overall monitoring, reporting, and evaluation
systems to happen in real time. Forest guards are also given
an option to open a mobile bank account under BPI Globe
BanKO with the use of their Globe SIM. We will also
provide insurance to the deputized forest guards due to the
hazards of the job. In addition, we have turned over a total
of 649 mobile phones and SIMs to FPE. The Up-Scaling
Forest Restoration project focuses on North Negros Natural
Park; Ilog-Hilabangan Watershed Forest Reserve; Nug-as,
Dalaguete and Tabunan Critical Forest Habitat; Polillo
Group of Islands; Mt. Banahaw-San Cristobal Protected
Landscape; Mt. Nacolod Watershed; Panigan-Tanugan and

Having a gray water collecting system is one of these water
conservation initiatives. Rainwater and the air-conditioning
systems condensate water are used for toilet flushing and
watering outdoor gardens especially during the rainy
season. In addition, we installed water efficient toilets and
sensory water faucets in our headquarters restrooms. These
enabled The Globe Tower to decrease monthly average
domestic water consumption by 15 percent from 5,077 cubic
meters during dry season from January May 2014 to
4,329 cubic meters during wet season from June September
of the same year.
Globe takes care of the surrounding ecosystem in areas
where we have installations of network facilities. The
areas of operation where an Environmental Compliance
Certificate (ECC) is issued by the local government account
for majority of reforestation efforts. The recommendations
of Department of Environment and Natural Resources
(DENR) on reforestation sites are also heavily considered in
determining priority areas for tree/mangrove planting.

Globe is not only dedicated to growing its business

but is also committed to addressing environmental
concerns and promoting human health amidst
the dynamism of this high-tech industry. Being a
communications provider, Globe takes responsibility
in educating the people on how to dispose of their old
mobile devices and computers as well as end-of-life
battery packs and chargers in the best way possible.
Yoly Crisanto
Senior Vice President,
Corporate Communications,
Globe Telecom

Globe treats our employees and you, our customers, as
one family, which we collectively call Ka-Globe. Rooted
from our Circle of Happiness, our engaged employees
will do what it takes to delight you by adopting a new
service culture. We have gained the commitment of every
employee to put you first, deliver a wonderful service that
you can rave about and perpetuate brand love.
In 2014, Globe was recognized as Best Workforce by
Sustainability Business Philippines and Best Place to Work
in Asia by Asian Corporate Sustainability Excellence. These
awards are a testament to the initiatives that create the most
wonderful experience possible for over 6,000 employees
nationwide.
Going beyond the satisfaction metric with
sustainable employee engagement
As we continue to work together in transforming our
culture, measurement of employee engagement continues
to evolve as well. Satisfaction metric is no longer enough
as it only measures how an employee feels about their
job and certain conditions within their employment,
while engagement refers to employees commitment
and connection to work as measured by the amount of
discretionary effort they are willing to expend on behalf
of their employer. Moving beyond employee satisfaction,
we look for engaged, enabled, and energized employees
to deliver their best performance, and sustain it over
G4-LA4
time. Together, these drivers account for 77 percent

of the variation in engagement. Benchmarked among
Philippine national norm, global telecommunication,
and global high performance companies, we received
above norm of an overall sustainable engagement score
of 87 percent from its highest response rate ever at 99 percent,
approximately two percent higher than the previous year.
Sustainable engagement drivers in 2014 were identified as
empowerment and accountability, leadership, and learning
and development.
Globe employees are also highly engaged at 59 percent,
higher compared to Towers Watsons 2014 Global
Workforce study of 58 percent of Filipino workforce as
highly engaged.
We also conduct an annual Internal Customer Satisfaction
Survey (iCSAT) to measure how well we collaborate and
work with one another using the same service metrics
we use for our external customers. The survey allows the
company to look beyond the scope of our functions and
recognize that we are all part of delivering Wonderful
end-to-end customer experience. In 2014, Globe attained
the highest iCSAT score since its roll-out.

a surplus of leaders
We create wonderful work is the employer value
proposition of Globe. We continue to partner with 6,182
employees, and provide equal opportunities regardless of
age, gender, religion, and ethnicity in building a workplace
that is dynamic, entrepreneurial, collaborative, and
innovative.
Creating wonderful work always starts with a plan. Every
employee has an Individual Development Plan (IDP)
to know their career path based on current functional
competency, strengths, opportunity areas, and future career
aspirations within Globe and our affiliates and subsidiaries.
The annual Performance Plan Evaluation (PPE) measures
personal contribution to achieve our company goals
through the Globe Way. Part of the rewards system is
the Corporate Incentive Plan (CIP) which is given to
employees who exceed key performance indicators (KPI)
by the end of the year. Top performers for every division
are recognized and these employees who have shown
exceptional performance are acknowledged at the yearly
Globe Excellence Awards.
We believe that each employee has the makings of a leader

regardless of their rank and stature. It is our leadership
and development objective to build a surplus of leaders
to deepen our talent bench and sustain our business
operations. The talent development program is anchored
on The Globe Way, which espouses the company culture,
values, and ideals based on the premise that people make
the difference. Careers@Globe is a way to align company
and individual goals by providing a systematic and clear
career path with training and development support. At
Globe, regular career conversations between employees and
their Immediate Superior (IS) are encouraged.
Anchored in our seven leadership competencies, iLead
integrates three targeted development tracks: Executive
Development Program, Emerging Executives Program, and
Young Leaders Program that feed to the next generation
of leaders, ensuring that the culture we want is continually
enabled at every level. Executive Development Program
targets seasoned talents who have the potential to be senior
leaders and business leaders.
Emerging Executives Program, formerly known as Fast

Tracker Program, focuses on mid-career talents who
demonstrate the potential to become senior executives.
Finally, the Young Leaders Program looks at emerging
talents who can assume larger leadership roles. To date, the
program has identified 68 individuals as pipeline successors.
Meanwhile, Globe University enrolls employees in partner
schools, like the Asian Institute of Management and Ateneo
de Manila Center for Continuing Education in order
to take up programs that will hone their leadership and
managerial skills. We give our employees a competitive
advantage by sharpening their business acumen, technical
expertise, communication skills, and other areas of
development based on their job description.
To attract top students in key universities, the Graduate
2 Globe (G2G) program offers internship to highpotential students from partner schools which can spark
a possible career at Globe. Under this is the Management
Development Program, spanning 12 months where the
student-interns are assigned different job roles in the
organization, lending their insight and energy to the
companys projects. We extended learning further to our
employees children with the Junior Mobile Wizard as it
offers part-time job experience with programs around basic
selling skills in Globe stores around the country.

Immersion in the culture of service begins at the earliest

stage possible. In 2014, the first-ever Globe Game
Changer Challenge (GGCC) was launched. A competition
designed to instill the spirit of service and innovation in
young minds, it attracted 300 outstanding students from
the countrys top schools, such as the University of the
Philippines, Ateneo de Manila University, University of
San Carlos, Ateneo de Davao, and De La Salle University
Manila. The final 25 acquired a deeper and more insightful
understanding of the Globe Telecom business through a
series of immersions. They were then tasked to work on
big ideas that would enhance the Filipino digital lifestyle.
Closely mentored by Globe experts and senior leaders,
emerging victorious was the team of five from different
schools in the country. The winners were rewarded with
exclusive immersion in the Singtel Innovation Center.
The first GGCC champions also gain the opportunity
to be part of the companys Management Development
Program Batch 2015 as they have exhibited the drive for
understanding the customer.
Ensuring a safe and healthy workplace
G4-LA5
Globe maintains a secure and happy environment for

our employees, following the standards on Occupational
Health & Safety Management System (OHSAS 18001).
Launched in 2010, our comprehensive Occupational
Safety and Health Policy is committed in providing the
best protection for the health and safety of our employees
and the communities surrounding our operations. This
includes requiring all employees to undergo annual physical
examination to gauge our current health and physical
condition. The result will then be used by our in-house
health adviser located at the TGT Clinic to create a
personalized wellness program to improve our overall health
with quarterly consultations to check if the program is on
track and set the baseline for next years wellness program.
*There are other training programs (i.e. vendor sponsored training on

technical and technology products) availed by Globe employees outside
the Globe University which are not captured in the data.
In addition, Globe has partnered with St. Lukes Medical

Center-BGC in order to bring various health lectures
and seminars on relevant health topics like heart disease
prevention, anti-obesity, diabetes, family planning,
hepatitis, drug abuse, and more. Routine flu and Human
Papillomavirus (HPV) shots were also made accessible to
all employees, who also receive timely information on the
prevention of such diseases.
Meanwhile, our health and safety committee, which

comprises 11.42 percent of our total number of employees,
assesses all health and safety hazards in the workplace and
the communities and provides programs to eliminate and
address these incidents. Aside from the health lectures,
continuous training and awareness programs on health and
safety are also conducted to relevant employees.
The Globe way: guiding the path toward a
wonderful world

G4-LA9
Globe keeps in mind the principle in which we live by and

conduct ourselves in The Globe Way. Our corporate values
have always served as aspiration and motivation in how we
treat each other as colleagues; how we treat our customers,
our suppliers, our partners, and the communities where we
live in.

The Board of Directors and Globe employees, including

our subsidiary and affiliates, are subject to the Globe Code
of Conduct, which is to protect the companys interests
in consistently creating a wonderful world for everyone.
The sanctions apply especially to major offenses related to
corruption, extortion, bribery, or any action that disrespects
the corporate values and damages the reputation of
the company.
Throughout the year, we received reminders to be kept
abreast of our policy and ethical practices expected of a
Globe citizen. Employees were required to submit related
party and gift giving disclosures to Human Resources. We
were also invited to attend trainings and complete online
courses on whistle blowing, corrupt and unethical practices,
honesty and integrity practices, and information security
protocols.
On the other hand, in conformance with the Department
of Labor and Employments (DOLE) Collective Bargaining
Agreement (CBA), the Globe Telecom Employees UnionFederation of Free Workers (GTEUFFW) remains active
to pledge the right of every Ka-Globe to form a collective
bargaining unit. All employees are allowed to participate in
CBA and through GTEU-FFW, everyone is informed and
made aware of the mandate. With regards to enhancing
cooperation, productivity, customer service, and other
policy and procedural issues affecting the employees,
a Labor Management Council is present to provide
assistance. Since part of the CBA is to address the health
needs of every employee, medical, dental, and optical care
services are provided by the company at a certain expense
with a corresponding salary deduction depending on the
total cost. Emergency loans for health services can also

be availed by our employees with immediate dependents.
Another component of CBA is the family planning
program and services. Recreational activities encouraging
employees to further encourage camaraderie and friendship
is the key focus.
Globe complies with RA 7160 or the Special Protection
of Children Against Child Abuse, Exploitation, and
Discrimination Act and observes the principles of the
Human Rights Act and Child Labor Law. Benchmarking
such regulations generate a happy workplace without
presenting any fear of discrimination or violation towards
any employee. We do not condone the violation of the
rights of indigenous people, nor doe we promote any
operational activities that would pose hazardous risks or
damages to children or young employees.

Employee programs that cater to the unique

needs of every employee
Employee volunteerism is not merely an altruistic initiative

of Globe. Driven by our commitment to sustainability,
employee volunteerism enables us to make a wonderful
tomorrow through nation-building. We published our
employee volunteer manual in the internal HR portal so
that our employees will understand our Corporate Social
Responsibility (CSR) initiatives and the numerous ways
they can help.
Globe has two kinds of volunteering programs: activitybased volunteering and skill-based volunteering. Activitybased volunteering consists of one-time activities with
the objective of contributing to our efforts in our various
advocacies. Skill-based volunteering involves using
individual or collective corporate expertise through either
pro-bono services or skill transfer or capacity building to
support the work of a partner community or organization.
In 2014, we introduced the volunteer time-off policy to
promote volunteerism across the company and to enable
our employees to share in our desire to contribute to
social development. Employees are encouraged to avail of
VTO for participation in company-approved volunteering
activities that fall during work hours. A total of 452 VTO
was availed in 2014 contributing to nation-building.
To ensure that employee volunteerism is maximized and
effectively managed, a volunteer management system is
developed to ensure that there is a standard way of engaging
volunteers. A standard system will help ensure a common
experience that will maximize volunteer participation and
prevent inconsistencies in volunteer management practices.
Globe continues to offer competitive employee benefits.

The Flexible Benefit (FlexBen) plan allows customization
of available benefits to suit the needs of each employee and
their families through an online portal. Regular company
benefits are composed of medical, life insurance, disability,
retirement, and separation provisions, and these are readily
available in our internal Human Resources portal. Interestfree emergency and non-emergency company loans are
offered, and also Employee leaves such as sick, vacation,
parental, and special leaves. We also provide a balance
between work and life through various engagements
like holiday-themed events, after-office gatherings,
volunteerism, and little surprises to cap off the day. In
addition, we also promote wellness by opening a standard
full-court basketball and Active Gym inside The Globe
Tower complete with equipment and fitness classes like
yoga, Zumba, and TRX.

"Our Circle of Happiness philosophy is simple

happy and engaged employees deliver wonderful
customer experiences and strong business
growth. When employees are committed to
serve customers, this translates to a strong brand
experience that people love and connect with.
We continue to create value through our
employees and we make sure that they enjoy
their workplace environment, allowing them to
reach their full potential, especially as we
develop new leaders.
Renato Jiao
Chief Human Resource Officer,
Globe Telecom
We have positive societal impact

Corporate Social Responsibility (CSR) lies at the heart of
Globe Telecom. We believe that integrating our business
with social responsibility makes our brand meaningful
for you, our customers. At Globe, CSR is not only
about doing programs for environment care, human and
community development, but also to express our genuine
and innate care for you. Through Bridging Communities,
we are committed in creating shared value for you, our
communities, and our business.
One of the key programs is the Global Filipino Schools

(GFS). Since 2012, Globe has equipped public high
schools with the infrastructure and internet connectivity to
boost the integration of information and communications
technology (ICT) in the classroom. In preparation for the
establishment of these schools, teachers are trained on ICT
education and project-based learning through the Global
Filipino Teachers program so they may maximize the
resources provided to their school.
Aligned with our Corporate Social Responsibility

(CSR) policy, Globe aims to transform and empower
underserved communities through innovative solutions
in order to nurture a better environment. Through
CSR, we are committed in creating shared value for
you, our communities, and our business. We also adopt
the best practices of the international standard for social
responsibility, ISO 26000. Doing so enables us to drive
sustainability across the organization and seek continuous
innovative solutions in creating a wonderful world. The
standard also helps guide us in integrating our social and
environmental initiatives with our core business strategy to
be a sustainable organization.
To address the challenge of deploying fully-furnished

computer laboratory, Globe deployed a faster and
more cost-effective innovative tool: its very own mobile
laboratory, consisting of netbooks, mobile projectors,
printers, and sound systems for use of homeroom teachers.
Since the mobile laboratory is easier to implement in
remote provinces, we will be able to shape more of the
Filipinos digital lifestyle.
Providing access to excellent quality

education through ICT
Under the CSR Learn pillar, Globe believes that all
Filipinos should have access to excellent quality education.
Using traditional and alternative learning techniques, we
strive to ensure that underserved schools and students are
able to compete on a level playing field with those from the
private sector. By transforming the learning environment
and providing opportunities for accessing quality education,
we pave the way for more Filipinos to secure a
brighter future.
By end 2014, Globe was able to transform a total of 11

schools into centers of ICT excellence and innovative
teaching methods that will set the stage for 21st century
learning. In the coming years, we will be working with
Ayala Foundation to bring the program to more schools.
BPI Globe BanKO: making banking accessible
to more filipinos
BPI Globe BanKO, a joint venture between Globe, BPI,
and Ayala Corporation, commits to changing our society
and improving the lives of underserved Filipinos. We hope
to continue making banking accessible to more Filipinos
through mobile banking services and to forge stronger
partnerships with organizations that share our vision of
financial inclusion for all Filipinos.
With the common goal of improving the lives of nearly

80 million Filipinos at the base of the pyramid, BanKO
and the Department of Social Welfare and Development
(DSWD) conducted a series of free financial literacy
seminars and opened bank accounts for the DSWDs
Pantawid Pamilya beneficiaries since April 2014, reaching
13 regions across the countryfrom urban areas such as
Payatas in Quezon City to remote locations like mountain
barangays in Tuburan, Cebu, and the island of
Culion in Palawan.
Ranging from the basics of saving to detailed walkthroughs
on how to supplement their income using BanKOs mobile

the Pantawid Pamilya beneficiaries gained much-needed
support and information to help improve their living
conditions and achieve financial security.
This joint financial education program was recognized with
the Social Impact of the Year Award for Mobile Financial
Services in Emerging Asia, a citation presented by the
international aid organizations FHI 360 and the U.S.

Empowering communities for disaster
preparedness and sustainable livelihood
Over the years, Globe learned the importance of quick and

efficient communication especially in times of a disaster.
Through the Serve pillar of our CSR, we came up with
a program to ensure communities are ready, responsive,
and resilient at all times by initiating a community-based
disaster risk reduction and management program to help
communities prepare for possible emergencies during the
rainy season such as flooding, landslides, and strong winds.
In 2014, the pilot implementation was in the towns of
Malinao, Albay and Mercedes, Camarines Norte in the
Bicol region. Using the Globe SMS Broadcast Facility,
municipal mayors will have direct contact with their
barangay captains for faster coordination and immediate
download of relevant and critical information. The
barangay tanods will also undergo capability building on
Basic Weather 101 lessons and Basic Emergency Response
Training. The program also equips municipalities with
mobile phones, SIM cards, uniforms for nightly duty, and
personal accident insurance via SMS registration. The SIM
cards are part of the database to which the municipal mayor
has direct access. In addition, mobile phone units were
given to 26 barangay captains in Mercedes and
29 in Malinao.
Globe is very active in disaster risk management and is in
fact a partner of the Department of Educations Disaster
Risk Reduction Management Office, supplying the
government agency with mobile and internet support for
monitoring purposes whenever there are calamities.

The country needs leaders and duty-bearers who exercise

the ability and integrity to build a nation. From providing
access to basic social services, to ensuring the safety and
well-being of their respective constituents under any
circumstances, Globe empowers them to be catalysts of
positive change in their communities. In 2014, a total of 33
municipalities and cities received access to basic
social services.
Globe also partnered with Weather Philippines to power

420 of their automated weather stations (AWS), to localize
and bring real-time weather updates to the general public.
Using Globe SIM cards, the automated weather stations
can give accurate data on wind speed and direction, average
rainfall, and humidity within a five-kilometer radius every
30 minutes. These data can be accessed through the website
www.weather.com.ph.
This partnership is part of Globe Telecoms communitybased disaster risk reduction program where localized
and accurate weather information is given to key decision
makers in the LGU to properly execute plans during
disasters and with the goal of creating disaster resilient
communities.
In addition, through the CSR Prosper pillar, Globe believes
that everyone should benefit from the countrys economic
growth. In providing sustainable livelihood and financial
services to those in underserved communities, we hope to
offer viable economic opportunities, and with these, new
possibilities for prosperity. As of 2014, our community
partners generated P6.6 million in revenue through
our programs.
One key programs is the My Fair Share program,
integrated with Globe myBusiness in providing local
producers, micro-entrepreneurs, and social enterprises
with information and communications technology (ICT),
capacity building support, and market access. Through
these resources and opportunities, they are able to sustain
their businesses, and achieve greater sale and profitability.
Bayani Brew as its beverage of choice at The Globe Tower.

Within The Globe Tower alone, an average of 1,397 bottles
of concentrate have been sold monthly ever since Bayani
Brew was supplied in conference halls and cafeteria in
September 2013. This provided Bayani Brew an additional
gross revenue stream of an average P71,068 monthly and
enabled more support to the GK Enchanted Farm. To date,
Bayani Brew has garnered more than P550,000 in gross
revenue from concentrate sales alone in The Globe Tower
while Globe provides its employees and guests freshly
brewed, healthy, delicious, and indigenous iced tea.
The sales Bayani Brew generated from supplying beverages
at The Globe Tower enabled it to purchase a delivery truck
and set up a warehouse at the area. These improvements
now enable the business to deliver supplies promptly
around the central business district, which accounts for
most of its sales channels and growth. They expanded
to selling its products at outlets that include S&R
shopping centers and in other Ayala-owned ventures
such as convenience store chain Family Mart. Through its
nationwide reach, Globe also provides Bayani Brew with
constant and reliable communication with all its staff and
communities with which it works. In all, Globe and Bayani
Brew have shown the good that could come out when great
ideas are given the support and care it needs to flourish.
Bayani Brew is one of the micro-entrepreneurs which

have been a great success from the program. Bayani Brew
is a start-up social enterprise based in Gawad Kalinga
Enchanted Farm that produces all-nutritious, delicious,
and proudly Filipino beverages that are naturally brewed
from indigenous ingredients sourced from organic farming
communities. Integrating CSR in procuring and serving
beverages to its guests and conference rooms, Globe serves

"This project not only highlights how our

Globe recognizes that Filipinos today live in a highlyconnected world. A robust and reliable infrastructure is
thus needed so you can get the best experience and enable
your digital lifestyle. We celebrate digital innovation as we
bring the latest trends, applications, and world-class services
that will enrich your mobile experience that answer to your
current needs and demands, and anticipate yourneeds in
the future.
Modernized and green network
Now bearing the fruits of its transformation initiatives,
the Globe mobile network reached 100 percent 3G
capability in June 2014 and completed its 4G roll-out
with HSPA+ coverage around the archipelago in October.
The modernized network will strengthen our capability to
provide a wonderful digital lifestyle experience to you and
our other 46 million customers, as you will require faster
data connectivity and bandwidth-intensive multimedia data
applications, such as video and photography. The network
also helps underpin economic growth in the country as new
technologies enable Globe to provide the required capacity
and performance for the rapidly-growing data consumption
of your business enterprises. Globe Telecoms pervasive
4G HSPA+ technology is most relevant to businesses that
are looking for ways to enhance productivity and lower
costs by adopting newer technologies that require fast and
reliable data connectivity. This transformation initiative
also enhances in-building coverage in major malls, hotels,
hospitals, major highways, and airports, further enriching
your experience where it matters.
The completion of its modern network with superior data
speeds was showcased when it brought to the Philippines
the worlds premier motorsport Formula One through
an event in Manila dubbed Slipstream. Anchored on the
message, See fast. Hear fast. Be fast, Slipstream offered
a holistic experience of speed, turning the countrys fastest
rising business district into a race track where Lotus F1
LTE-TDD technology is expanding, but

also continues the strong momentum
of mobile ultra-broadband access in the
Asia-Pacific region. As a key provider of
infrastructure for some of the largest
LTE network deployments in the world,
Alcatel-Lucent's support for Globe
Telecom's network expansion program
is a further milestone in our growing
global leadership in mobile ultrabroadband access."
Michel Combes
CEO, Alcatel-Lucent
Junior driver Marlon Stockinger held a racing exhibition, a
not-so-common sight yet exciting experience for Filipinos.
The event was a celebration of Stckingers road to F1
and Globe Telecoms latest milestone on our largest 3G &
4G coverage, enabling you to browse the internet at a fast
connection speed. As of end 2014, Globe has a total of
6,227 sites.
In partnership with Alcatel-Lucent, Globe is expanding

its LTE-TDD and LTE-FDD footprint in the Visayas
and Mindanao, activating its first site in Lahug, Cebu
City in September 2014 for its mobile ultra-broadband
infrastructure. The rollout is part of its continuing adoption
of more advanced technologies for better connectivity
experience, higher network capacity, faster transmission
speeds, addressing the ever-increasing demand for fast
and reliable broadband service. The project also supports
the Philippine governments thrust to expand the reach of
broadband internet services which has been emphasized
as an area for national improvement. Globe will deploy
Alcatel-Lucents LTE Radio Access Network (RAN) in
approximately 1,200 sites, along with a converged network
management and network security system to manage and
control the network equipment on an end-to-end basis.
In the same year, the Southeast Asia-Japan Cable (SJC)

system, operated by an international consortium of leading
telecommunications and technology companies that
includes Globe, began implementing a network upgrade to
further enhance capacity amid steady growth in bandwidth
demand in the region. The upgrade of the undersea
cable system brings an increase of 6.5 terabits per second
of capacity utilizing the latest 100 gigabits per second
transmission equipment. The sharp increase in transmission
technology from the usual 10 gigabits per second, followed
by 40 gigabits per second technology, underscores the
upsurge in internet usage especially mobile internet. The
SJC upgrade allows better network availability and delivery,
providing additional support for expanding business
requirements for data. TE SubCom was commissioned by
the SJC consortium to carry out the network upgrade.
Globe is proud to offer service for the

Meanwhile, the Southeast Asia United States (SEA-US), a
consortium of seven global telecommunications companies
that includes Globe, agreed to construct and operate a new
submarine cable system that directly connects Southeast
Asia and the United States with NEC Corporation as the
system supplier. The SEA-US project will enable Globe to
meet tomorrows bandwidth needs.
The project will also add even more diverse options for
companies to connect to the US. The SEA-US submarine
cable system links the five areas and territories of Manado
(Indonesia), Davao (Philippines), Piti (Guam), Oahu
(Hawaii, United States) and Los Angeles (California,
United States). The system will be approximately 15,000
kilometers in length, avoiding earthquake prone areas in
East Asia, and thereby helping ensure stable connectivity.
The network transformation does not only focus on
deploying technologically-advanced solutions but
also making it an even more ecologically-responsible
organization by enabling the business to operate through
green practices. Globe initially rolled out fuel cell systems
in select cell sites, replacing the traditional diesel generator
set (genset). These provide a back-up power solution in
cell sites identified as most critical in order to ensure the
delivery of our telecommunication services during crisis
situations. The fuel cell is powered by methanol fuel, and
is a green power solution that is silent to operate and with
negligible emission compared to diesel generators.
The installation of fuel cell systems in our cell sites is in line
with the companys network resiliency and preparedness
plan to ensure our customers have access to voice, SMS,
and data services during times of emergencies when
availability of communication lines is most critical. Fuel cell
systems provide a cost-effective and reliable alternative to
batteries and generators, requiring only a small battery to
start which equates to a smaller cooling system requirement.
Providing back-up power solutions for our cell sites
form part of our business continuity program, aimed at
adequately equipping usto respond and address disruptive
incidents such as natural calamities. To date, 20 cell sites in
Metro Manila have fuel cell systems whose capability was
tested during typhoon Glenda.
global Filipino community. Whether they

are permament migrants or working in
a variety of sectors, they have already
embraced these countries as their

Rizza Maniego Eala
Senior Vice President, International Business,
Globe Telecom
Globe continuously reduces the carbon footprint of its
network operations with various solutions that further
strengthen ourecological drive. Conversion of our indoor
cell sites into outdoor models to reduce air conditioning
costs is still being implemented. In step with our efforts
to build more eco-friendly base transceiver stations sites,
we installed solar-based power solutions in cell sites with
no commercial power or those that are purely dependent
on fuel. Globe cell sites with high fuel consumption and
frequent power outages were provided with alternative
energy sources that include deep cycle battery solution
which ensures storage of electricity to provide a reliable
source of constant energy. Furthermore, some cell sites
that were identified as the most expensive to operate
were equipped with intelligent gensets that make use of
alternative energy sources including solar, wind energy and
fuel cells, as applicable.
Presently, a total of 613 out of the 6,227 Globe sites have
already been transformed into a sustainable infrastructure.
Serving Filipinos across continents
Wider local reach
Globe goes beyond borders to serve over 11 million

Filipinos living and working in over 70 countries around
the world by providing you with the best options to stay
connected with your loved ones back in the Philippines.
The company now has robust retail presence in eight major
overseas Filipino markets: the United States, the United
Kingdom, Italy, Spain, the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia,
Canada, Hong Kong, and Singapore.
Looking to cement its leadership in the postpaid business,

Globe expanded its sales distribution channels to beef up its
postpaid customer base with an exclusive partnership with
Allphones, an Australian-based telecoms retail company.
With the collaboration, we widened our reach to acquire
new subscribers, which currently include the Globe Stores,
Globe Hotline, the Globe website, and other alternative
sales channels. Aligned with creating a wonderful world
for our customers, Allphones stores provide a tabletbased, digital, and paperless process for faster, safer and
more seamless plan applications. Allphones stores offer
the latest mobile phone models bundled with the suite
of fully-customizable Globe postpaid plans. Through
these efforts, Globe seeks to become a part of every
persons neighborhood in every corner of the world. As
of date, Globe has a total of 138 Globe-owned Stores, 64
Allphones, and 73 Premium Dealer-owned Stores.
In 2014, Globe further expanded its footprint in Europe

with the establishment of Globetel Internacional European
Espana S.L. (Globetel Espana), the newest member
of the Globe group of companies, handling various
telecommunications services such as voice, SMS, load
top-up, and mobile data requirement in Spain. Before
the year ended, we opened our second store in Italy
close to the termini station, which is the main railway
station of Rome, to better serve OFWs in Italy. We also
signed a memorandum of understanding with Ingenium
Outsourcing Services, S.L.U. (IOS), a mobile virtual
network aggregator based in Madrid, to run the operations
and solidify our European presence, and the combined
Filipino population of those working in a variety of sectors,
permanent migrants, seafarers, and those visiting for
business or leisure. With this development, Spain became
the eighth country where we have robust retail presence.
Complementing the establishment of Globe Mobile
Italy S.r.L. (GMI) in 2013, we marked another corporate
milestone in 2014 by expanding our business operations
overseas with the opening of the first international Globe
Store in Milan, Italy, home to a third of the 200,000-strong
overseas Filipino community. The Globe Store, boasting of
the same cutting edge look-and-feel and retail experience
of our Philippine Globe stores, is located near the famous
Duomo where it will offer a variety of telecom services such
as the Globe local Italy SIM with the best call and text rate
and prepaid load cards in various denominations.
Taking a serious stance on consumer

protection
G4-PR3, G4-PR6, G4-PR8
To create a wonderful world for our customers, partners,
community, and the nation, Globe puts you, our
customers, first.
We conform to fair, truthful and accurate advertising.
All our products and services undergo approval from the
National Telecommunications Commission (NTC) and the
Department of Trade and Industry (DTI) prior to being
launched. All the advertisements are also in fulfillment of
the requirements of the Ad Standards Council (ASC).
We also regard your privacy with utmost importance
through the Data Privacy Policy. We take paramount
care in protecting your data, personal and non-personal
information. We only want the happiest customers so
we commit ourselves to abide by GSM (Groupe Speciale
Mobile) Association (GSMA)s high-level privacy principles
based on internationally recognized and accepted principles
on privacy and data protection.
As such, we secure and protect your personally indentifiable

information (IPII) with proper safeguards to ensure
confidentiality and privacy; prevent loss, theft, or use for
unauthorized purposes; and comply with the requirements
of the law. We do not sell your personal information to
anyone for any purpose. We also do not use nor share your
personal information with content and/or information
providers without your prior request or consent.
We keep our records as accurate as possible. If your personal
information is wrong, we provide you with various channels
to update it such as contacting Globe Customer Care
(+632 7301000 or 211 using your mobile phone) or your
relationship manager, as may be applicable; or by visiting
any Globe Store or our website at www.globe.com.ph.
When disposing of your information, we take reasonable
measures to ensure that it is done properly and is not
accessible to the public.
We are not responsible for information, content,
application, product or service that we do not provide.
Since we value or customers, we take measures to fight
spam, fraud or any unauthorized messages that traverse our
network.
After comprehensive research on the issue, we have learned
three very important things about spam SMS: (1) sources
where peoples numbers are received can come from
anywhere, from where you top-up your load to something
completely random as mobile phone numbers are only but
a series of digits, (2) companies and brands mentioned in
these types of SMS are just as responsible of the spamming
that their agents and employees practice, (3) there is lack in
awareness of the processes we have in place to address spam
and therefore no reports were also being sent in.
To address this, we launched a campaign called #StopSpam
led by a visual social networking sites Twitter, Facebook,
Instagram, and bloggers to annouce the #StopSpam
campaign. Traditional communication through news and
public affairs program on TV and radio were also used to
educate and encourage people to report malicious spam
messages. It is through this campaign where we could
crowdsource reports and put an end to the scammers
services and get you, our customers, to support. Where you
once felt helpless, you were suddenly empowered and can
now take action against scammers through this campaign.
Globe was able to effectively educate netizens on where

these unsolicited messages were coming from and what they
can do about them. You can report spam messages through
chat (http://chat.globe.com.ph), the Globe contact page
(http://globe.com.ph/talk2globenow), and by tweeting @
Talk2Globe with the hashtag #StopSPAM. From there,
Globe customer service agents will attend to your report,
verify, and finally cut off the spammers services. We also
created a dedicated page (http://www.globe.com.ph/
stopspam) for this type of report where identified numbers
are initially sent warnings, after which they are blocked
from the network if they are reported to the website the
second time.
Globe also cracked down on companies involved in spam.
We asked the NTC to order health insurance company
Caritas Shield Inc. the payment of the appropriate fines for
sending spam. Globe asked the NTC to permanently bar
Caritas and its agents from sending spam texts.
Lastly, to protect you, we created an automatic spam
filtering system that keeps you from receiving these
unwanted messages. In 2014, close to 2 million spam and
scam messages have been blocked by the system, at an
average rate of 50,000 blocked messages per day. In early
October, this peaked to as many as 117,000 messages daily
after we have integrated our postpaid customers into
the system.
To further deter spammers and scammers, Globe also
temporarily disconnected over 1,600 mobile numbers
that have been identified as constant sources of unwanted
messages. Voice, SMS, and data services to these numbers
will only be restored if the user contests the disconnection
and provides adequate proof that they are not
text spammers.
Experience and design creating

a wonderful customer journey
With the aspiration to drive superior user experience as a
competitive differentiator, the service creation process was
changed to ensure that experience design as a discipline
becomes deeply entrenched in the product development
process. The Touchpoint Experience and Design group
at Globe ensures a seamless and consistent experience
across key touchpoints (web, mobile apps, in-store and
via traditional channels like SMS, USSD, OTA) where
you interact with us and our products and services.This
combines the talents and experience of web developers, user
experience architects and designer teams into a single group
that will drive the value of superior experience throughout
the customers lifecycle.
Thanks to our genius developers and experts who
conceptualized and produced the applications with such
compelling functionalities and features coming from
touchpoint experience and design insights for modern
smartphones, Globe has unveiled its own suite of apps that
will address the needs of mobile phone users. Globe Mobile
Apps, namely GCloud, GService, GDeals, and GMovies,
are all designed to suit the interests and lifestyle of todays
smartphone owners, which includes account management
and personalized services, financial services, movies, and
virtual secured storage.
If youre a movie lover, meanwhile, you can skip long lines

and reserve choice seats with GMovies. With this mobile
app, you can buy tickets or reserve seats using promo codes,
MasterCard or Visa credit cards, or MPass, after which the
tickets will be sent to your smartphone. With GMovies,
you can also view show times in some of the countrys
largest cinemas, and even watch trailers of movies currently
shown in the country.
Then theres GDeals, perfect if youre looking for great
discounts, freebies, and offers. The app collects all deals
from different deal sites and puts them all together in one
place. It also eliminates the need for you to print vouchers
because you can buy deals directly via the app and pay
for it using your load credit, credit card, or on a cash-ondelivery basis.
We also make it easier for you to check your account
details and other Globe services by giving youmore ways
to do so. GServices, for example, is an app that enables
you to manage your accounts on your phone if youre a
Globe Postpaid or Prepaid subscriber, check your balance,
subscribe to promos, redeem rewards, and find the nearest
Globe store, just to name a few. Since the app is zero-rated,
you can use the app without it affecting your mobile data.
Globe Cloud enables you to backup your contacts,

messages, photos, music, and videos from your mobile
phone to a secure cloud connection. You can then access
these files and media later on from your smartphones,
tablets, computers, or any mobile browser. Globe Cloud
can even be connected with the your other existing personal
storage accounts, such as Dropbox, Facebook, and Picasa,
so that you can access all your files in one place. The app
is downloadable via the Google Play Store or the iTunes
App Store, and comes with a free 1GB storage. If you need
extra space, you may avail of these through Globe Telecoms
affordable plans starting at P15 per month for 1GB and
P499 per month for 100GB storage.
The upgrade has greatly improved network

performance and capacity amid growing
customer preference for mobile devices such
as smartphones and tablets. The strategy is
to provide LTE infrastructure in areas where
there is a high prevalence of smartphone use
such as in major CBDs to ensure greater and
more stable LTE coverage and thus improve
affordability of mobile data services.
