Celebrating Cebu Pacific’s Sustainability and Inclusion Success
Cebu Pacific has soared high at the 2025 ESGBusiness Awards held in Malaysia, earning accolades for its relentless commitment to sustainable transportation and diversity and inclusion. These prestigious awards underline the airline’s role as a torchbearer in implementing measures that protect the environment while fostering an inclusive work environment. With this recognition, Cebu Pacific stands proudly alongside Asia’s leading organizations excelling in environmental, social, and governance (ESG) standards.
Leading the Charge for Sustainable Travel
As Candice Iyog, the Chief Marketing and Customer Experience Officer at Cebu Pacific, aptly remarked, "as we grow, we want affordable travel to also create a positive impact on people and communities." This ethos is evident in Cebu Pacific’s operations, particularly its approach to sustainable practices. The airline has adopted initiatives that greatly contribute to its sustainability agenda, positioning it among the global leaders in carbon emissions reduction. In 2024, Cebu Pacific was endorsed in the Cirium Flight Emissions Review, indicating one of the lowest carbon intensities in the industry. Its young fleet facilitates impressive fuel savings and a notable reduction in carbon dioxide emissions, reflecting the airline's commitment to the environmental cause.
A Champion for Diversity and Inclusion
Inclusivity is another cornerstone of Cebu Pacific’s operational philosophy. In 2024, it became the first airline in Southeast Asia to earn Great Place to Work® certification, setting a benchmark in workplace culture. The airline has been trailblazing initiatives such as employing openly transgender staff and providing equal health benefits to same-sex couples, fostering a progressive workplace that values diversity among its team members.
Empowering Future Generations
Cebu Pacific takes pride in a workforce that encompasses a mosaic of identities across 31 nationalities, which enhances its adaptability in the dynamic aviation marketplace. As Felix Lopez, CEB Chief Human Resources Officer, articulated, "Our workforce enables Cebu Pacific to adapt, grow, and deliver for our customers." Their diverse and inclusive workplace not only propels business excellence but also creates a vibrant platform capable of responding to the needs of a wide array of customers.
As Cebu Pacific charts its path toward more achievements, the recognition at the ESGBusiness Awards serves as both a commendation of its past efforts and an inspiration for its future endeavors in leading sustainable and inclusive travel.
