SM Supermalls has participated in the International
Coastal Clean Up since 2015, becoming an avenue for volunteers to work together towards a cleaner, greener future.
SM’s goal was to gather the biggest haul of trash and
marine debris. This year’s efforts amounted to 75,033kg collected with the support of SM’s biggest participation since
2015 – 15 SM malls in 12 locations in Luzon, Visayas, and
Mindanao. This enabled more volunteers, totaling 17,026
SM employees and members of various sectors to join more
clean-ups throughout the country.
SM spearheads numerous cleanup drives throughout
the year in support of the United Nations Decade of Ocean
Science for Sustainable Development (2021-2030). In line
with this year’s UN Ocean Decade Challenge, Sustainably
Feed the Global Population, SM’s projects on water conservation, including the recycling and treatment of water from
handwashing and rainwater harvesting, highlights the importance of community initiative in minimizing pollution,
protecting fisheries and helping maintain potable water
sources for everyone.
“We all have a responsibility to help protect and safeguard our marine environment, its resources, and the communities it serves,” said SM Supermalls Vice President for
Corporate Compliance and SM Cares Program Director
for the Environment Engr. Liza B. Silerio. “A cleaner ocean
means a better future for generations to come.”(KCHT)
