TP in the Philippines (formerly Teleperformance), a leader in digital business services, has raised its renewable energy source consumption to 63% of its total nationwide electricity consumption in 2025, up 3% from last year. The accomplishment affirms its decisive acceleration in its clean energy transition and reinforces its leadership in sustainable operations within the country’s IT-BPM sector.

Based on the 2025 TP Impact Report, the company recently announced how its nationwide renewable energy consumption steadily grew last year, sustaining momentum in its transition to cleaner power across its 26 sites nationwide.
“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, TP in the Philippines.
“The three percent increase in our renewable energy consumption within a year showcases how our deep commitment to sustainability translates into real and measurable results. 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 emphasized.
Alongside its increased use of renewable energy, TP also reported a 52% reduction in total carbon dioxide emissions. The company’s emissions intensity now stands at 0.25 tCO₂e per full-time employee (FTE). Overall, this represents a 77% improvement from its 2019 baseline, showing steady progress in reducing its environmental impact while continuing to grow its operations.
Infrastructure has been central to TP’s sustainable practices. Several TP sites operate within LEED-certified buildings, including facilities in McKinley, Aura, and Vertis North, among others, while sites in both Alabang Plaza E and Alabang Vector 3 are both LEED and EDGE-certified buildings. These green-certified facilities reduce energy demand through optimized design, efficient cooling systems, and responsible water usage.
Sustainability, Culture, and Community
The company’s global climate roadmap aligns with the Science Based Targets initiative, ensuring its emissions reduction goals support the targets set under the Paris Agreement. TP has committed to sourcing 50% renewable energy globally by 2026 and 80% by 2030. It also aims to reduce absolute Scope 1 and 2 greenhouse gas emissions by 56.7% and Scope 3 emissions by 27.5% by 2030, using 2019 as its base year.
Further reinforcing its leadership in driving sustainability in its operations, TP was among the first 100 companies to sign the Climate Pledge, committing to achieve net-zero carbon emissions by 2040, which is ten years ahead of the Paris Agreement’s 2050 goal.
In addition to expanding renewable sourcing, TP optimized its IT infrastructure, advanced circularity initiatives, and donated IT equipment. TP also implemented sustainable work models such as the Cloud Campus, which continues to reduce commute-related emissions while enhancing operational resilience.
TP in the Philippines continues to partner with various governmental and non-governmental organizations to fortify its sustainability goals and create meaningful and impactful changes to the environment. TP actively collaborates with Aboitiz Power in providing renewable energy for its Sucat and Bacolod sites under the Green Energy Option Program (GEOP). TP also continues to participate in the global energy savings campaign Earth Hour for all its sites.
Ed Punzalan, Facilities and Administration Vice President, underscored that sustainability at TP goes beyond infrastructure and metrics.
“For us, sustainability is about people as much as it is about power sources,” Punzalan said. “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.”
As sustainability becomes an operational expectation across the IT-BPM sector, TP in the Philippines aims to show that decarbonization and business resilience can move together, setting a practical benchmark for how large-scale employers can reduce impact while maintaining service excellence.
