The annual poll gathers nominations from investors and analysts across the region, recognizing publicly listed firms for excellence in strategic direction, corporate governance, transparency, and market performance.

Awards are given in gold, silver, and bronze tiers across industries.

Globe joins fellow Ayala Corporation group companies recognized in this year’s poll.

Ayala Corporation received Gold in the conglomerates category, while Bank of the Philippine Islands secured Gold in financials, underscoring strong leadership across key sectors of the Philippine economy.

The recognition comes as Globe sustains solid business momentum.

In 2025, the company reported 65.8 million mobile subscribers, with mobile data serving as its largest revenue driver at a record ₱101.2 billion.

Home broadband revenues reached ₱24 billion, supported by fiber expansion and the growth of GFiber Prepaid, while corporate data revenues climbed to an all-time high of ₱20.7 billion as enterprise demand for digital and ICT solutions continued to rise.

Overall, data-driven services across mobile, broadband, and enterprise accounted for 88% of consolidated service revenues.

Globe has also gained international recognition. Earlier this year, Brand Finance ranked the company among the world’s 10 strongest telecom brands, assigning it a Brand Strength Index score of 86.4 out of 100 and a brand value of $1.4 billion.

“This is a testament to Globe’s disciplined leadership, relentless focus on our customers, and commitment to delivering sustainable growth,” said Carl Cruz, Globe president and CEO.

The company continues to focus on operational excellence, customer engagement, and digital innovation, while expanding network capabilities and advancing digital inclusion across the Philippines.
