TP in the Philippines has been named Sustainability Company of the Year at the 2026 Asia CEO Awards, recognizing its initiatives in environmental management, inclusive employment, and community development as the digital business services provider marks 30 years of operations in the country.
The company also received Circle of Excellence distinctions for Most Innovative Company of the Year and Service Excellence Company of the Year. Its Philippine CEO, Rahul Jolly, was recognized in the CEO of the Year category.
TP operates 29 sites nationwide, with a workforce of 60,000 described as AI-ready, serving global brands across multiple industries. The company also marked its ninth consecutive Great Place to Work certification.
Renewable energy and emissions reduction
In 2025, renewable energy accounted for 63% of TP Philippines’ energy consumption, while its carbon emissions intensity declined to 0.25 metric tons of carbon dioxide equivalent per employee—a 77% reduction from 2019 levels.
The company also works with property partners to reduce emissions at its leased facilities, including sites in LEED-certified buildings. Its participation in Earth Hour generated more than 33,000 kilowatt-hours in collective electricity savings across its Philippine locations.
TP further strengthened its operational sustainability by securing ISO 14001:2015 certification for environmental management and ISO 45001:2018 certification for occupational health and safety across its site operations in 2025.
Building an inclusive, digitally skilled workforce
Beyond environmental initiatives, TP supports workforce development through training and employment programs designed to prepare Filipinos for careers in the information technology and business process management (IT-BPM) industry.
Its TP STEP program provides near-hires with foundational training, while Impact Sourcing initiatives aim to connect underserved groups, including persons with disabilities and unemployed individuals, to formal employment opportunities.
Through TP LaunchPad, the company’s career-readiness and university relations program, more than 20,000 students across over 40 partner schools were reached in 2026.
Its Citizen of the World corporate social responsibility program also mobilized 250 volunteers in 2025, contributing 6,613 volunteer hours and PHP 1.7 million in support to more than 10,300 Filipinos.
TP Philippines Chief Financial Officer Dipto Sen said the recognition reflects the company’s commitment to business growth that also supports people, communities, and environmental responsibility.
As TP expands its nationwide operations and develops its AI-ready workforce, the company continues to position sustainability, employee development, and responsible business practices as key elements of its long-term strategy.
