Environmental

1. Telecom industry is replacing copper cables with fibre to drive sustainable growth for the environment: 1. It is reasonable to put pressure on Telecom sector to increase its sustainable performance. The sector currently uses between 2 and 3 percent of the world's energy. However, by 2025, we anticipate that the generation and transmission of data will consume 20% of global electricity. There is an increasing trend of using fibre cables instead of copper due to its environmental effects. PLDT accelerated the rollout of its fibre network, connecting a record 1.13 million new fibre customers in 2021—exceeding its initial goal. PLDT's fiber-to-the-home business experienced record-breaking growth in 2021 thanks to solid execution in meeting the strong market demand. Revenues from fibre increased 82 percent, or 14.9 billion, to 33 billion, over the previous year. Increased installation rates made possible by the accelerated nationwide fibre rollout allowed PLDT to surpass its original year-end goal and reach a record-high total of nearly 3 million fixed broadband customers.
