Engaging Suppliers in Sustainable Development

Following the success of its internal Sustainability Academy, Globe has extended a dedicated bespoke learning platform for its supply chain as part of its strategic commitment to sustainable development. The learning sessions are designed to equip its supply chain, especially the micro, small, and medium-sized enterprises (MSMEs), with foundational ESG principles and practices, with the goal of collectively creating a positive and greater impact on society.

Globe piloted the Globe Sustainability Academy for Supply Chain through the SME Sustainability Accelerator of the Makati Business Club (MBC), a private nonprofit business association that promotes the role of the business sector in national development efforts. The program is also a joint effort with the Center for International and Private Enterprise (CIPE) and SustainablePH.

“To be able to fully support the country’s sustainable development, we will need all hands on deck. We want our suppliers to be knowledgeable and equipped with basic sustainability principles and ESG practices. Some suppliers might not be aware that they are already practicing some sustainability programs, and Globe is here to help and guide them towards that journey,” said Globe Group Chief Sustainability and Corporate Communications Officer Yoly Crisanto.

Five local MSMEs have received training on topics such as foundational knowledge on sustainability; circularity; diversity, equity, inclusion, and belonging (DEIB); anti-corruption; and sustainability reporting. Trainees were required to disseminate their acquired knowledge within their organizations and to embed environment, social, and governance (ESG) metrics into their business strategies.

The Globe Sustainability Academy for Supply Chain, along with the company’s recently updated Supplier Code of Ethics and new Sustainable Supply Chain Policy Commitment, highlights Globe’s mission to establish a sustainable supply chain and encourages suppliers to join in this collective effort towards sustainability.
