SM Supermalls once again showed its continuous commitment to sustainable practices like this Earth Hour, by supporting the annual Global Lights Switch Off on March 23rd from 8:30pm to 9:30pm.
This year, SM went beyond the lights switch-off, encouraging public participation through a variety of eco-friendly and energy-saving activities and events.
This year saw 85 SM malls participating in the activities for Earth Hour. Through these efforts, SM Supermalls and SM Cares empowered customers to go beyond Earth Hour with practical tips for resource conservation and sustainable practices, emphasizing the impact a collective movement towards energy conservation and climate change awareness can make.
SM Cares is the corporate social responsibility arm of SM Supermalls, responsible for initiatives that promote sustainability and the development of the community, including programs on Women and Breastfeeding Mothers, Persons with Disabilities, Senior Citizens, and Children and Youth, as well as the Bike-Friendly SM initiative, in addition to its Programs on Environment.
