MANILA, Philippines — Cebu Pacific (PSE: CEB) received two prestigious international awards at the 2025 ESGBusiness Awards held in Malaysia, recognizing its achievements in “Sustainable Transportation” and “Diversity & Inclusion.” The awards highlight Cebu Pacific’s leadership in integrating environmentally friendly practices and promoting a diverse, inclusive workplace.

Recognized as one of the region’s premier platforms, the ESGBusiness Awards honors organizations that set the standard in corporate social responsibility, diversity and inclusion, and sustainable growth.
“As Cebu Pacific grows, we want affordable travel to also create a positive impact for people and communities,” said Candice Iyog, CEB Chief Marketing and Customer Experience Officer. “Inclusivity and sustainability remain central to how we shape the future of travel.”
CEB has established itself as a leader in workplace inclusivity. In 2024, it became the first airline in Southeast Asia to earn Great Place to Work® certification and was among the first to employ openly transgender cabin crew. The airline also outperforms global standards for women in leadership, provides internships for neurodiverse students, and extends health and travel benefits to same-sex and common-law partners.
“Our workforce—spanning 31 nationalities, 15 employee groups, and people of all genders, faiths, and abilities—enables Cebu Pacific to adapt, grow, and deliver for our customers. This recognition belongs to our teammates who support and uplift one another. At Cebu Pacific, we don’t just move people; we move progress,” said Felix Lopez, CEB Chief Human Resources Officer.
The carrier has advanced its sustainability agenda by both modernizing its fleet and adopting fuel-efficient practices. In 2024, CEB was ranked 18th among global airlines in the Cirium Flight Emissions Review, recording one of the industry’s lowest carbon intensities at 62.4 grams of Carbon Dioxide per available seat kilometer. Thanks to its young fleet—one of the youngest in Asia—CEB saved nearly 50 million kilograms of fuel and prevented more than 150,000 tonnes of Carbon Dioxide emissions last year.
Notably, CEB remains the only Southeast Asian low-cost carrier to secure a sustainability-linked loan (SLL), aligning its financing directly with emission reduction targets.
“Sustainability is integral to Cebu Pacific’s growth strategy,” said Aileen Isidro, Vice President for CEB Corporate Strategy and Risk Officer. “By aligning affordable travel with responsible operations, we ensure that our expansion is both competitive and future-ready.”
CEB serves 36 domestic and 27 international destinations throughout Asia, Australia, and the Middle East. By expanding its reach, the airline reinforces its commitment to inclusive, sustainable travel and remains devoted to providing affordable, accessible flights for all.
