Globe Tops Southeast Asia in 2026 Digital Inclusion Benchmark, Ranks 11th Globally

Globe emerged as the highest-ranked company in Southeast Asia in the 2026 Digital Inclusion Benchmark of the World Benchmarking Alliance (WBA), placing 11th out of 200 companies globally. This marks a significant improvement from its 43rd place ranking in 2023, reflecting stronger performance under a more rigorous framework that now requires full compliance with each indicator.

The 2026 DIB results reveal global gaps, noting that 79 percent of companies scored zero in child rights and only 39 percent  provide targeted technical or professional development programs for underrepresented employees. Against this backdrop, Globe’s improved standing reflects strengthened governance, clearer accountability for digital risks, and sustained focus on inclusive access, digital skills, cybersecurity, data privacy, and climate action aligned with a 1.5°C pathway.
