Sustainability commitments The business has declared its own sustainability commitments , highlights Benjamin Azada , Converge ’ s Chief Strategy Officer , who says minimising environmental impact is also highly important .
“ We have decided that we should go above compliance and not only care about our financial performance , but also our environmental and social impact ,” he explains .
“ As an internet service provider , we have a mission to connect the unserved and underserved areas in the country with the needs of the Filipino people ,” Azada adds . “ By doing so , we want to ensure that we conduct our business while building trust with our customers , upholding good governance , caring for our people and pursuing greener operations to minimise our negative environmental impact .
“ Our ESG projects are focused on these guiding principles and include improving network resiliency and reliability , applying leading practices on compliance to applicable laws and regulations , fostering a culture of learning and development for our people and continuous execution and exploration of energy and waste management projects .”
This commitment was particularly important in the worst of the COVID-19 pandemic , when having a reliable internet service provider had never been more important .
“ As most of our customers transitioned from traditional to hybrid or a work / business from home set up , having a strong digital highway to serve our customers ' internet needs is critical ,” comments Azada . “ Thus , by having world-class economic , environmental , social , and governance commitments and practices , we are making our subscribers proud to be associated with a company that is not just customer-centric , but a business that creates a meaningful impact on the communities we serve and the environment in which we operate .” mobile-magazine . com 91
