Cebu Pacific (PSE: CEB), the Philippines’ leading carrier, has been recognized as one of the world’s top-performing airlines for sustainability in the latest S&P Global Corporate Sustainability Assessment (CSA). 

The airline ranked within the top 25% globally and emerged as the most sustainable Philippine carrier, with a score of 47—well above the industry average of 37 and higher than most low-cost peers. The CSAmeasures how companies manage their impact on the environment, care for their employees and communities, and uphold responsible business practices.

“We continue to take a disciplined and proactive approach to sustainability as we expand our operations,” said Aileen Isidro, CEB Vice President for Corporate Strategy and Risk Officer. “The improvement in our S&P Global CSA score reflects how we’ve embedded sustainability into how we grow, operate, and govern.”

CEB’s latest Integrated Report reported progress across its ESG initiatives, contributing to its improved CSA performance.

In 2025, the airline served nearly 27 million passengers and operated over 170,000 flights, showing that sustainability gains can be achieved even as operations expand. During the same period, CEB avoided approximately 35,000 tonnes of carbon emissions and saved around 11,000 tonnes of jet fuel through fleet modernization and operational efficiencies.

It also reduced carbon emissions to 75.7 grams of CO₂ per revenue passenger kilometer (RPK), withlower emissions per passenger even as travel demand increased. CEB continues to build on this progressthrough its long-term goal of operating an all-NEO (New Engine Option) fleet by 2030, alongside expanding the deployment of electric ground support equipment (GSE) across key airports.

Beyond environmental efforts, CEB continues to invest in its people. Women now make up 51% of management roles, exceeding the Philippine average of 44%, while ongoing programs in training, employee engagement, and mental health support aim to strengthen workforce resilience and service quality. 

The carrier also maintains strong governance practices, supported by enhanced anti-corruption measures, strict compliance systems, and clear accountability across its operations and partnerships.

These initiatives resulted in CEB’s improving customer experience. The airline recorded a Net Promoter Score (NPS) of +35, up seven points from previous year, alongside gains in service areas such as boarding, baggage handling, and inflight service, signaling stronger passenger satisfaction.

Following a strong performance in 2025, CEB is building momentum as it celebrates its 30th anniversary, with a continued focus on expanding affordable air travel while advancing its sustainability commitments.

I actually flew in from Davao the night before our Taiwan trip, so by the time I arrived at NAIA Terminal 3, it was already around 11:00 PM. We checked in as early as 12:00 midnight, which left us with a very long wait before our 6:30 AM flight to Taipei.

This is honestly so hard to process. As someone who has watched Bob’s Burgers for years, the Belchers feel like family, and hearing this news about Eugene Mirman—the voice of the incomparable Gene Belcher—just breaks my heart.

In a twist that feels stranger than fiction, Governor Kelly Ayotte and a state trooper from her security detail were the ones who pulled him through the car window just in time. The New Hampshire State Police have already said that their quick actions absolutely saved his life.

It’s genuinely scary to think about how close we came to losing him. Gene Belcher would probably have some absurd, musical way to process this, but for me, I’m just sitting here feeling incredibly relieved that he’s okay.

When I first saw the trailer for Hoppers a few months ago, I thought, Okay, this looks fun—but also kind of familiar. The vibe didn’t instantly feel like the usual Disney Pixar magic, and honestly, the animation reminded me more of an indie animated film than a big Pixar release.
