TP in the Philippines (formerly Teleperformance) has reported that renewable energy accounted for 63% of its total nationwide electricity consumption in 2025, marking a 3% increase from the previous year and signaling continued momentum in its clean energy transition across the IT-BPM sector.

Citing its 2025 TP Impact Report, the company said the increase reflects sustained efforts to shift its 26 sites nationwide toward cleaner power sources, reinforcing what it described as a leadership position in sustainable operations within the industry.

“Our transition to renewable energy is no small feat, but it reflects our commitment to acting as a responsible and sustainable organization,” said Rahul Jolly, Chief Executive Officer of TP in the Philippines.

“As one of the largest employers in the country, with widespread operations, we highly recognize our actions and how they can impact the industry standards,” Jolly added.

Alongside higher renewable energy use, TP reported a 52% reduction in total carbon dioxide emissions, with emissions intensity reaching 0.25 tCO2e per full-time employee. The company said this represents a 77% improvement from its 2019 baseline, indicating continued decarbonization even as operations expand.

Infrastructure upgrades remain a key driver, with several sites located in LEED-certified buildings, including facilities in McKinley, Aura, and Vertis North, as well as LEED- and EDGE-certified sites in Alabang. These facilities are designed to reduce energy demand through more efficient cooling systems, optimized building design, and water management.

The company’s climate targets align with the Science Based Targets initiative, with commitments to source 50% renewable energy globally by 2026 and 80% by 2030. It is also targeting a 56.7% reduction in absolute Scope 1 and 2 emissions and a 27.5% reduction in Scope 3 emissions by 2030, using 2019 as a baseline. 

TP is also among the first 100 companies to sign the Climate Pledge, committing to achieve net-zero emissions by 2040.

Apart from clean energy sourcing, TP said it has implemented measures such as IT infrastructure optimization, circularity initiatives, and equipment donations, alongside remote work models like its Cloud Campus to reduce commute-related emissions.

The company is also sourcing renewable energy for select sites through partnerships under the Green Energy Option Program, including supply arrangements with Aboitiz Power for its Sucat and Bacolod facilities.

“For us, sustainability is about people as much as it is about power sources,” said Ed Punzalan, Facilities and Administration Vice President. “Every percentage increase in renewable energy reflects thousands of daily decisions made by our teams, showcasing how we manage our facilities and how we volunteer in our communities.”

“Through the Citizen of the World (COTW) foundation and the Citizen of the Planet (COTP) program, we aim to cultivate a culture where environmental responsibility becomes second nature, empowering our employees to see themselves not just as workers in the BPO industry, but as stewards of the planet,” Punzalan added.

As sustainability becomes a growing operational requirement in the IT-BPM sector, TP said it aims to demonstrate that emissions reduction and business continuity can progress simultaneously, particularly for large-scale employers with extensive energy demand.

What implications do large corporate renewable sourcing strategies like this have on power demand, green tariffs, and supply availability in the Philippine market?
