As environmental challenges continue to grow, SM Prime Holdings, Inc.
believes that the journey to a better future is built on the mindful choices we
make each day and the stronger communities we form when we act together.

| With a 3.785-Megawatt peak (MWp) solar power capacity, the SM City Fairview solar photovoltaic (PV) system has 6,882 solar modules over a total area of 4.3 hectares, currently making it the largest rooftop solar PV system on a commercial building in the country. |
This is the heart of the SM Green Movement, SM Prime’s sustainability initiative and call to action for communities across the country. Born during the height of the pandemic, the Green Movement began with personal stories—employees choosing to reduce waste, conserve water, and use energy responsibly, even while under lockdown. These simple acts planted the seeds for something bigger: a movement that brings together the company, communities, and the country in pursuit of shared prosperity and a more climate-resilient future.
Focusing on waste, water, and energy, the SM Green Movement translates
ambitious sustainability goals into everyday practices.

| At SM City Baguio, water is given a second life. Its water treatment facility helps conserve this vital resource while supporting a greener, more resilient future. |
It inspires suppliers, partner-tenants, residents, guests, and
mallgoers alike to play their part in shaping greener, more livable cities.
Each initiative is anchored on SM Prime’s mission: to achieve net-zero
emissions by 2040, advance water stewardship, and work towards a waste-free future.

At the Mall of Asia Complex, water trucks carrying 100% recycled water help keep the property’s greenery thriving while promoting responsible water use. |
“The SM Green Movement is our way of showing care—care for our planet, and care for the people who live in it,” said SM Supermalls Executive Vice President for Marketing Joaquin San Agustin. “We’re not just building malls, homes, or offices—we’re building opportunities for everyone to be part of the solution. And the best part is, it starts with what we do every day.”
Collaboration That Drives Real Change
At the core of the Green Movement is a belief in the power of
partnership. Lasting change is not a solo endeavor—it thrives through
collaboration.

| Bin it right! SM Cares promotes proper waste segregation with clearly marked bins for recyclables, disposables, and compostables—helping communities take part in building a waste-free. |
SM Prime continues to work hand-in-hand with local government units, NGOs, schools, community groups, and individuals to co-create solutions that meet both environmental needs and everyday realities.
“Our strength as a company comes from our ability to mobilize people around a common cause,” said San Agustin. “The SM Green Movement is all about collective impact. Every bottle recycled, every drop of water saved, every watt conserved adds up.”
A Movement for Generations to Come
Today, the SM Green Movement is a growing platform for advocacy and action. With every new story, every new supporter, and every green step taken, SM Prime is helping to reframe sustainability as something within reach of every Filipino. (SM Prime)
