Globe Telecom said over 80% percent of its postpaid customers already signed up to paperless billing. This translates to 22,855 trees saved, 21 hectares of land protected, and 2,762 carbon emissions reduced, according to the Operator.
Globe encourages its millions of postpaid customers to help save thousands of trees and reduce greenhouse gas emission by enrolling their fixed and mobile accounts in paperless billing program.
According to Globe, by enrolling in paperless billing, Globe postpaid customers are not only able to do their share in environmental protection and conservation but also enjoy the convenience of on-time delivery of electronic billing statements, notification via text message, online viewing of bills anytime and anywhere, and easy download of bills in their computers, tablets, or mobile phones.
"Although senior citizens, tenured and platinum customers are exempted from the automatic switch to electronic billing, they are, however, also encouraged to join the campaign," said Yoly Crisanto, Senior Vice President, Globe Corporate Communications.
This is in line with United Nations Sustainable Development Goal 12 on sustainable consumption and production which aims to "increase net welfare gains from economic activities by reducing resource use, degradation and pollution while increasing quality of life, said Globe Telecom.
