Globe releases enhanced environmental policy, takes strong stance on circularity and responsible production and consumption

MANILA, Philippines, Aug. 18, 2023 /PRNewswire/ -- Leading Philippine digital solutions platform Globe has released its revised Environmental Sustainability Policy, underscoring the importance of circularity as it promotes mindful consumption, sustainable production, carbon reduction, resource efficiency, and comprehensive waste management strategies. The enhanced policy supports the Philippines' Extended Producer Responsibility Act of 2022, which mandates large companies to recover 20% of the plastic they release into the market in 2022. This target recovery rate will increase to 80% by 2028. "Globe stands at the forefront of adopting sustainable practices in our operations. We are taking this a notch higher with an enhanced environmental policy on circularity which aligns our processes and products with the call for more responsible consumption," said Yoly Crisanto, Chief Sustainability and Corporate Communications Officer, Globe Group. "Our circularity initiatives will include our ecosystem of brands to help habituate our customers to sustainable practices. This has the potential to further grow sustainability practices among Globe users, making it part of their daily lives," she added. Here are some of the company's initiatives to promote circularity: Deployment of the Eco-SIM, which is made from 100% recycled materials, for new postpaid accounts in 2022; Replacement of nearly five million traditional tarpaulins with the more environment-friendly material, stone paper; and Launch of the new packaging design for Globe's GFiber Prepaid WiFi product line, with the goal of transitioning the rest of their Globe At Home products to more recyclable and upcyclable materials. The innovative packaging can be repurposed into a laptop stand to extend its lifespan, and was ensured to have been made as environmentally-responsible as possible. Globe has also implemented the following measures to reduce plastic and paper waste: "'Wag sa Single-Use Plastic" (WasSUP) program - advocating plastic reduction among its employees and concessionaires in its offices: Standardizing cashless transactions using GCash Working to incentivize employees who adopt reusable containers in the company's cafeteria Encouraging concessionaires to avoid using single-use plastics wherever possible (i.e. incorporating biodegradable options for utensils or opting for more reusable options) Introduction of e-business cards for employees Globe also recently contributed to the GSMA's Strategy Paper on Circular Economy for Mobile Devices. The company's E-Waste Zero Program collected and recycled more than 191,000 kilograms of electronic waste in 2022, bringing the total to over 1.8 million kilograms since 2014. This year, Globe established a partnership with CompAsia which allows for old employee service units to be remarketed rather than discarded. Understanding that it takes collective action to be able to truly take care of the environment, Globe launched the online learning platform Camp Kalikasan, in collaboration with WWF-Philippines. It offers interactive exercises and learning modules that encourage responsible environment practices – covering topics like waste management, energy efficiency, climate change, and biodiversity. "Our approach to climate action is all about collaboration," Crisanto said. "More than digital solutions, we give our customers and other stakeholders the tools and knowledge to continue to practice sustainability."

Keynote speakers and panellists explored how NbS can address pressing challenges such as biodiversity loss, climate adaptation, and cross-boundary collaboration. Experts from Hong Kong and Mainland China shared their insights on fostering regional resilience by aligning ecological conservation with economic development goals. The program also featured local case studies showcasing successful examples of cross-sector collaboration, illustrating how stakeholders can work together to implement NbS. Day 2 examined the business case for NbS, highlighting its role as a strategic asset for risk mitigation, resilience, and sustainable growth. Key discussions centered on innovative financing, ESG investments, and the incorporation of natural capital into decision-making. Participants emphasized the importance of private sector involvement and identified NbS as a key solution for addressing ecological challenges in the Northern Metropolis. The Nature Conservancy and Civic Exchange extend their heartfelt gratitude to all speakers, partners and contributors who made this conference a success. Special thanks go to our co-organizers -- the Hong Kong Maritime Museum, the Business Environment Council, and Seneca Impact Advisors -- as well as to our sponsors, The Robert H.N. Ho Family Foundation Hong Kong, and supporting organizations, including AECOM, ARUP, HKGFA, ICE Hong Kong, Page 148, PBAF, RNUS, Salata Family, HKILA, HKUST ENVR, and WWF. Their support was instrumental in advancing the dialogue on nature-driven solutions for a sustainable future.As a key takeaway, the conference reaffirmed that NbS are vital to enhancing urban resilience and mitigating the impacts of climate change. However, achieving these goals requires cross-sector collaboration, innovative financing mechanisms, and decisive action. A comprehensive report summarizing the conference's key insights and discussions will be released soon. We invite all stakeholders to stay tuned for more updates and resources as we collectively work toward a more sustainable and resilient future.For the event agenda and speakers' profile, please visit: LINK For photos: LINK About The Nature Conservancy The Nature Conservancy is a global conservation organization dedicated to conserving the lands and waters on which all life depends.

The 15th Launch of Forecasting & Prospects Research Reports on Energy Economy

BEIJING, Jan. 25, 2025 /PRNewswire/ -- On January 12, 2025, the "The 15th Launch of Forecasting & Prospects Research Reports on Energy Economy" was held in Beijing. The conference was hosted by Center for Energy and Environmental Policy Research of Beijing Institute of Technology, Beijing Laboratory for System Engineering of Carbon Neutrality. Eight research reports were released to the public. The series of reports are from the targeted research results on specific topics based on changes in international and domestic energy economics and climate policy situations over the previous year, performed by the research team led by distinguished Professor Yi-Ming Wei. Since 2011, these reports have been published by Beijing Institute of Technology annually for 15 consecutive years, garnering widespread attention. Professor Yi-Ming Wei, Director of Beijing Laboratory for System Engineering of Carbon Neutrality, presided over the meeting and introduced the attending experts. Professor Ben-Cong Wang, Vice President of Beijing Institute of Technology, also attended the meeting and delivered a speech. He pointed out that the series of forecasting and prospects research reports on energy economy closely align with the national strategic needs for energy and carbon emission reduction, accurately focusing on major cutting-edge issues such as energy security, energy markets, and low-carbon development. These reports have received enthusiastic responses and widespread acclaim from various sectors of society. Professor Hua Liao, Director of the Center for Energy and Environmental Policy Research, introduced the overall situation about the release event, reviewed the energy economic situation of 2024, and forecasted the key development trends for energy economy in 2025. Subsequently, Professor Qiao-Mei Liang and Professor Bi-Ying Yu respectively chaired the other release of the research reports. I. Macroeconomic Trends in Energy Economics In 2025, the energy economics will act as a "stabilizer" for the new normal of macroeconomic development. Wind power and photovoltaic sectors will exhibit strong momentum, while biomass and hydropower will reveal new potential. Advancing clean, low-carbon initiatives and promoting coordinated industry development serve as the dual engines driving the rise of the energy economy. II. Energy Market Development In 2025, the growth in global crude oil demand lags behind supply, increasing downward pressure on oil prices. Geopolitical conflicts and major power rivalries continue to disrupt the market, leading to heightened short-term oil price volatility. The average prices of Brent and WTI crude oil are expected to range between $67–$77 per barrel and $62–$72 per barrel, respectively. Since 2011, the price index of key raw materials for the energy transition has shown fluctuating trends without a long-term upward trajectory or sustained high levels. Its volatility has been lower than that of the energy price index. III. Energy Technology and Industrial Development The carbon threshold regulations proposed by the EU's New Battery Law may cause huge economic losses and unemployment risks for both China and the EU. If the EU expands its lithium battery production and processing capacity to make up for the supply gap, it will also lead to great risks of capital and labor shortages, driving up battery production and usage costs, which would be detrimental to the development of both regions. Carbon capture technologies involve complex processes, diverse carbon sources, high technical intensity, and significant capital requirements, making them key factors in determining CCUS project investment and deployment. During the 15th Five-Year Plan period, it is crucial to focus on low energy consumption, low costs, and high efficiency while advancing fundamental research, technology development, equipment manufacturing, integrated demonstration, and industrial cultivation to comprehensively enhance China's carbon capture technology and core competitiveness. Driven by the digital economy, the electricity consumption of the data centers will account for 4.85% of the total electricity consumption of the whole society in 2030, and data centers also have the flexibility potential of tens of thousands of megawatts. In the future, the synergy among computing power, electricity and heat will become an important scenario for the integration of information and energy under the development pattern of carbon peaking and carbon neutrality. IV. Global Climate Governance Advancements in artificial intelligence (AI) across natural language understanding, deep learning, and multimodal information processing have introduced new research paradigms for climate change governance. Moving forward, strengthening AI applications and promoting interdisciplinary integration will be essential to addressing climate challenges. After three years of continuous development, China's national carbon market has made significant progress. A comprehensive regulatory framework has gradually taken shape, incentive and constraint mechanisms have been initially established, and emission reduction effects have begun to emerge. Representatives from 30 media outlets, including China Media Group and People's Daily Online, covered the press conference. A total of approximately 3000 participants from various sectors of society attended the event both online and offline. Download address of full report:https://ceep.bit.edu.cn/zxcg/ndycbg/index.htm
