SMART Wins Green Mobile Award

Filipino telecoms company, Smart Communications, bagged the first ever “Green Mobile Award” at the gala dinner of the GSM Association (GSMA) held at the National Palace in Barcelona, Spain last week.

Smart won the award on the merit of its efforts to promote renewable energy sources in its operations. As of 2008, Smart runs around 68 cell sites powered by renewable energy across the Philippine archipelago. 41 of which are run by wind energy while 27 utilize both wind and solar energy.

“We are proud that a Philippine company has won the first green award to be given by the GSMA. Given the growing global concern about climate change, this is a very relevant and meaningful award that will challenge us to do more,” shares Smart president and CEO Napoleon Nazareno.

Congratulations, Smart! That's simply amazing.
