<\/p>\nSM Prime Holdings, Inc. (SM Prime) continues to lead the way in sustainable property development, delivering low-carbon office spaces and climate-smart retail environments through energy efficiency initiatives, on-site renewable solutions, and strategic long-term partnerships.<\/p>\n
\u00a0A sustainable future for all<\/strong>. The iconic SM Mall of Asia, the world’s 6th largest mall, has become a sustainable retail shopping destination. Its physical and economic resilience stands as a testament to SM Prime\u2019s commitment to sustainable business strategies.<\/em><\/p>\n From efficiency to impact<\/strong><\/p>\n SM Prime has implemented programs such as lighting upgrades, improved air conditioning and ventilation systems (ACVS), and optimized building management systems since the 1990s \u2014significantly reducing emissions, proving that energy efficiency delivers environmental and economic benefits.\u00a0<\/strong>In 2024, SM Supermalls reduced electricity use by\u00a038%<\/strong>, avoiding\u00a0156,736 metric tons of greenhouse gas emissions (GHG)<\/strong>\u00a0and saving\u00a0\u20b12.3 billion<\/strong>.<\/p>\n In the recently concluded 5th<\/sup>\u00a0Energy Efficiency Excellence Awards<\/strong>\u00a0of the Department of Energy (DOE), SM Prime\u2019s business units, namely, SM Supermalls, SM Offices, and SM Hotels, was awarded multiple Certificates of Excellence.<\/p>\n This success reflects collaboration among engineering teams, service providers, tenants, and customers, driven by the company\u2019s leadership and commitment to the SM Green Movement.<\/p>\n \u00a0<\/strong><\/p>\n Renewable energy milestones<\/strong><\/p>\n Guided by its goal of\u00a0Net Zero by 2040, SM Prime is making decarbonization practical, reliable, and scalable. At\u00a0SM City North Edsa, it recently celebrated a milestone for clean energy in the country, with\u00a059 properties generating a combined 100 megawatts (MW) of on-site renewable energy\u2014one of the largest solar capacities among property developers in the Philippines. \u00a0A historic 100MW milestone<\/strong>. At Quezon City, the SM North Edsa, the first Philippine mall to use clean energy with rooftop solar photovoltaic systems, continues to deliver SM Prime\u2019s people-centric sustainable retail spaces.<\/em>\u00a0<\/em><\/p>\n Today, more than\u00a050% of energy use across SM Supermalls comes from renewable sources, supported by partnerships with\u00a0Aboitiz Renewables, TotalEnergies, Citicore Renewable Energy Corporation, and leading solar providers. This collaborative approach empowers communities while building a safer and more sustainable future.<\/p>\n Working with WWF-Philippines, SM Prime\u00a0has committed to the Science-Based Targets initiative (SBTi) and is working towards its near and long-term targets.<\/p>\n \u00a0<\/strong><\/p>\n Retail architecture working with nature<\/strong><\/p>\n At the heart of SM Prime\u2019s energy strategy is the creation of sustainable, resilient spaces that enrich experiences for the community. Across its malls, SM integrates\u00a0passive design elements\u2014high ceilings, large atriums, skylights, open spaces, and natural ventilation\u2014reducing daytime energy consumption while offering brighter, breezier, and more welcoming spaces for relaxation, dining, and shopping. Technology meets nature<\/strong>. In SM City East Ortigas, natural light brightens the food hall, and retrofitted lighting produces significant energy savings.<\/em><\/p>\n Smart solutions such as\u00a0motion-sensor escalators,\u00a0solar-powered outdoor spaces, and\u00a0energy-conscious cooling systems\u00a0make SM Supermalls a top retail destination for tenant-partners and customers alike.<\/p>\n Shared climate benefits for all<\/strong><\/p>\n \u201cCustomer expectations evolve quickly. When our leaders first initiated this project, it was in the early days of learning about the impact of our consumption on the planet. Now, brands \u2013 whether big luxury labels or small and medium enterprises \u2013 are looking for partners who invest in circularity and ESG impacts,\u201d said\u00a0SM Supermalls president Steven Tan.<\/p>\n As SM Prime continues to scale its energy programs, its SM\u00a0Green Movement builds a\u00a0resilient energy infrastructure to create a safe, comfortable, and welcoming space for its communities.<\/p>\n \u201cWe are committed to making our malls as energy efficient as possible by implementing advanced technologies and best practices. SM Supermalls will keep expanding its sustainability efforts to reduce environmental impact and improve the quality of life for both the planet and the communities we serve,\u201d said Tan.\u00a0\u00a0###<\/p>\n Thank you for taking time to read.<\/p>\n \ud83d\udce9 \ud835\ude0b\ud835\ude14 \ud835\ude27\ud835\ude30\ud835\ude33 \ud835\ude0a\ud835\ude30\ud835\ude2d\ud835\ude2d\ud835\ude22\ud835\ude23\ud835\ude34, \ud835\ude0d\ud835\ude26\ud835\ude22\ud835\ude35\ud835\ude36\ud835\ude33\ud835\ude26, \ud835\ude22\ud835\ude2f\ud835\ude25 \ud835\ude17\ud835\ude33\ud835\ude30\ud835\ude2e\ud835\ude30\ud835\ude35\ud835\ude2a\ud835\ude30\ud835\ude2f\ud835\ude34 \u2b07\ufe0f\u2b07\ufe0f\u2b07\ufe0f\u2b07\ufe0f\u2b07\ufe0f<\/p>\n Read my Column at Opinyon Panay https:\/\/www.facebook.com\/OpinYonPanay<\/p>\n IG www.instagram.com\/Homeschoolingiscool<\/p>\n FB Name: www.facebook.com\/ armi.pineda<\/p>\n Fb page:https:\/\/www.facebook.com\/Homeiskoolcom<\/p>\n YouTube Account: https:\/\/youtube.com\/channel\/UCAEszY-nm4XIPSphcppyilw<\/p>\n TikTok Account: https:\/\/vt.tiktok.com\/ZGJkEHsLh\/<\/p>\n Twitter Www.twitter.com\/Armipazpineda<\/p>\n \u00a0<\/strong><\/p>\n \u00a0<\/strong><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" Do you want to hear something new?
