Globe Telecom, Inc. announced on Friday that it had converted 14 facilities in Luzon into “green sites” as part of its commitment to climate action.
The company recently shifted another key facility in Quezon City to renewable energy, raising its green sites to 14, it said in an e-mailed statement.
Renewable energy, according to Globe, has also been used in its high-energy-consuming facilities in Makati, Mandaluyong, San Juan, Cavite, Tarlac, Cebu, and Taguig. At the 26th United Nations Climate Change Conference in Glasgow last year, Finance Secretary Carlos G. Dominguez III said financing from multilateral institutions is crucial to encourage private sector capital in clean energy transition projects in the country.
