The contract signing and e-waste turnover was led by UnionBank’s First Vice President Montano Dimapilis. It was in response to the P1P campaign initiated by Globe Business among its corporate clients to encourage donations of individual and company e-waste such as non-working or damaged phones and tablets; mobile phone batteries, chargers, and accessories; printers, cartridges, and personal computers, among other electronic items.
The agreement involves a commitment from UnionBank to gather all e-waste from its main office, all UnionBank branches nationwide, and employees to be collected by Globe and sent to its accredited partner Total Environment Solutions Asset Material Management (TES-AMM) Philippines for proper recycling. All proceeds will go to Globe Telecom´s advocacy to bring 21st-century learning to students and teachers by building ICT classrooms nationwide and providing proper training through its Global Filipino.
The UnionBank and Globe partnership is also in support of United Nations Sustainable Development Goal 13 which calls for everyone to “take urgent action to combat climate change and its impacts.” Globe Business is leading the way in encouraging businesses to do their share in minimizing the environmental impact of e-waste and countering its harmful effects on health through close collaboration with private corporations on the adoption of P1P.
