Award recognition and operating scale

As reported by BusinessWorld Online, TP in the Philippines was named Sustainability Company of the Year at the 17th Asia CEO Awards, held at the Manila Marriott Grand Ballroom in Pasay City. The company also received Circle of Excellence distinctions for Most Innovative Company of the Year and Service Excellence Company of the Year, while CEO Rahul Jolly was recognized in the CEO of the Year category.

The award comes as TP marks 30 years in the Philippines and continues to expand its footprint across the country. It currently operates 29 sites with a 60,000-strong AI-ready workforce serving global brands in several industries, and it continues to hold job fairs in Metro Manila, Cebu and Cagayan De Oro to support recruitment.

Dipto Sen, chief financial officer of TP in the Philippines, says the recognition reflects the company's view that long-term business success must move alongside the well-being of people and the environment. He adds that the group remains focused on creating opportunities beyond business growth and on building inclusive progress that can be sustained over generations.

Environmental and workforce programs

In 2025, renewable energy accounts for 63% of TP in the Philippines' energy consumption, while carbon emissions intensity declines to 0.25 metric tons of carbon dioxide equivalent per employee. The company says this marks a 77% reduction in emissions per employee since 2019, supported by leased operations in LEED-certified buildings and participation in Earth Hour, which helps its sites save more than 33,000 kilowatt-hours of electricity.

Its broader sustainability strategy also covers employee development and social inclusion. Through its Citizen of the World program, TP mobilizes 250 volunteers in 2025, records 6,613 volunteer hours and provides PHP 1.7 million in support for more than 10,300 Filipinos.

The company continues to run training and hiring pathways including TP STEP, Impact Sourcing initiatives for marginalized groups, and TP LaunchPad for students. TP LaunchPad reaches more than 20,000 students across over 40 partner schools in 2026, while the company also strengthens operations with ISO 45001:2018 and ISO 14001:2015 certifications secured across its site network in 2025.

In our earlier article on planned Philippine sovereign bond reforms and capital-market constraints, we explained how changes aimed at index inclusion and easier trading could broaden the investor base and support liquidity, but would not automatically translate into stronger productive investment. We also highlighted that deeper gains depend on fiscal credibility and wider structural reforms, including lower corporate financing frictions, better governance, and a stronger domestic investor base so businesses can access long-term capital more reliably.
