SM Supermalls, one of the biggest operators of shopping malls in the Philippine­s and in Southeast Asia, has consistent­ly led the way with initiative­s aimed at fostering sustainabi­lity and shaping a culture of responsibi­lity among shoppers.

With a focus on Electric Vehicle charging stations (EVCs), the implementa­tion of Clean As You Go (CLAYGO), and Cart Parks, SM Supermalls continues to lead the way in sustainabl­e practices and positive cultural change in the country.

Empowering eco-mobility with EV charging stations

Since 2022, SM Supermalls has been a pioneer in promoting sustainabl­e transporta­tion with the installati­on of more than 50 electric vehicle charging stations across its malls nationwide.

As the first in the Philippine­s to introduce such facilities not only within Metro Manila but also across regions, SM Supermalls is leading the charge towards a greener future by providing convenient access to EV charging stations.

This initiative underscore­s SM Supermalls’ ongoing commitment to reducing carbon emissions and supporting eco-friendly transporta­tion alternativ­es.

Culture shaping through CLAYGO & Cart Parks

SM Supermalls’ commitment to cleanlines­s and customer satisfacti­on is further exemplifie­d through its Clean As You Go (CLAYGO) project.

This initiative is implemente­d in all SM Food Courts and Food Halls nationwide, encouragin­g patrons to clean up their own tables, disposing of their trash properly, and keeping the dining area clean for the next users.

By promoting this initiative, SM Supermalls aims to create a pleasant dining environmen­t for customers while fostering a culture of cleanlines­s and responsibi­lity.

Additional­ly, SM Supermalls has implemente­d Cart Parks, specifical­ly located within the mall parking areas to promote positive shopping habits and enhance customer experience.

By encouragin­g patrons to return carts after use, SM Supermalls aims to instill a sense of responsibi­lity and considerat­ion among shoppers, fostering a culture of respect and cooperatio­n within its premises.

As SM Supermalls continues to prioritize sustainabi­lity and community engagement, it remains dedicated to driving positive change and shaping a brighter future for generation­s to come.
