Pasay City, Philippines, October 23, 2026 – TP in the Philippines, a global leader in digital business services, was named Sustainability Company of the Year at the 2026 Asia CEO Awards, recognizing its efforts to integrate environmental responsibility, inclusive employment, and community development into its operations.
The recognition comes as TP celebrates its 30th year of operations in the Philippines, committing three decades of creating career opportunities and developing Filipino talent to work with global businesses around the world. This year also marks TP’s 9th consecutive Great Place to Work® (GPTW) certification, reinforcing its commitment to building an inclusive workplace where employees can grow and thrive.
Held at the Manila Marriott Grand Ballroom in Pasay City, TP was also recognized with Circle of Excellence distinctions in three major categories: Most Innovative Company of the Year, Service Excellence Company of the Year, and CEO of the Year presented to Rahul Jolly, CEO of TP in the Philippines.
These milestones underscore TP’s continued focus on responsible business practices, employee well-being, and sustainable growth as it expands its nationwide operations. Currently, TP operates 29 sites across the country, with a 60,000-strong AI-ready workforce serving top global brands in multiple industries. It continues to provide job opportunities to more Filipinos organizing major job fairs recently for jobseekers in Metro Manila, Cebu, and Cagayan De Oro.
“Receiving this award reflects TP’s belief that lasting business success must go hand-in-hand with the well-being of people and the environment. As we continue to strengthen our sustainability efforts, we remain committed to creating opportunities that go beyond business growth. This is part of our responsibility to build a future where progress is inclusive, resources are used responsibly, and the value we create can be sustained for generations to come,” said Dipto Sen, Chief Financial Officer of TP in the Philippines.
Advancing environmental sustainability
In 2025, renewable energy accounted for 63% of TP in the Philippines’ energy consumption, while its carbon emissions intensity declined to 0.25 metric tons of carbon dioxide equivalent (CO₂e) per employee. This represents a 77% reduction in emissions per employee since 2019.
The company also works with property partners to reduce emissions across its leased facilities operating in LEED-certified buildings. TP also regularly participates in the annual Earth Hour initiative, with its sites nationwide collectively saving more than 33,000 kilowatt-hours of electricity. These measures support the company’s broader efforts to improve energy efficiency, reduce emissions, and make its nationwide operations more sustainable.
Expanding inclusive employment and community impact
TP’s sustainability efforts extend beyond environmental initiatives to include workforce development, employee well-being, and community engagement. Its 9th consecutive GPTW certification reflects its continued focus on fostering a workplace where people feel valued, supported, and empowered to develop their careers.
Through Citizen of the World (COTW), its corporate social responsibility program, TP mobilized 250 volunteers in 2025, generating 6,613 volunteer hours and contributing PHP 1.7M in support for more than 10,300 Filipinos.
TP continues to roll out career development initiatives, like its skills training-to-employment program: TP STEP, designed for IT-BPM industry near-hires to undergo training and gain foundational knowledge for a stronger fit for their next applications. TP’s multiple Impact Sourcing initiatives also provides marginalized individuals–such as persons with disabilities, long-term unemployed individuals, and underserved youth–with technical and soft skills, the program aims to provide direct pathways to formal careers in the digital and contact center industry.
Meanwhile, TP LaunchPad, the company’s career-readiness and university relations program, provides students with practical exposure, skills development, and pathways to employment. The initiative reached more than 20,000 students across over 40 partner schools in 2026.
Embedding sustainability in business operations
As the company expands its workforce and nationwide footprint, it is also strengthening the systems that support safe, responsible, and resilient operations.
In 2025, TP secured ISO 45001:2018 certification for occupational health and safety management and ISO 14001:2015 certification for environmental management across its site operations. These internationally recognized standards reinforce the integration of employee well-being, workplace safety, and environmental management into the company’s operating practices.
Three decades into its Philippine operations, TP continues to build on its commitment to its people, the communities it serves, and the environment—recognizing that long-term business success depends on creating value that extends beyond the workplace.
