GLOBE Telecommunications renewed its commitment to ensure child safety online through various programs and initiatives.

During the Children’s Rights and Business Principles Online Training Seminar organized by the Ateneo Human Rights Center, Globe Senior Manager for Sustainability Miguel Bermundo said that the company has various programs and initiatives that help make information technology safe for children, parents and caregivers.

Aside from the company initiatives, Globe also participated in the SaferKidsPH campaign and Safer Internet Day organized by the United Nations Children’s Emergency Fund.

Both campaigns raise awareness about current and new incidents of online sexual abuse and exploitation of children.

The collaboration between Globe and Unicef resulted in a study that helped determine how child rights principles can be integrated into Globe’s business principles to ensure that the company complies with international standards on online child protection and that its employees are properly informed about the laws that apply.

Bermundo also shared the company’s best practices for successfully adapting to the challenges by the Covid19 pandemic.
