April 2025 – True to its
commitment to environmental stewardship, SM By the Bay mobilized 272 employees
and volunteers to collect 1,147 kilograms of trash throughout the month of
April as part of its weekly coastal cleanup efforts.
Volunteers from SM Supermalls—including employees, customer relations staff, and janitorial personnel—cometogether after a successful coastal cleanup at SM By the Bay, united by a shared commitment to protecting our oceans and building a #SMWasteFreeFuture.
Held every week along the Manila
Bay shoreline, the cleanup drives were led by SM employees, customer relations
staff, and janitorial personnel, reinforcing the company’s call for collective,
community-driven action. Beyond restoring the coastline’s natural beauty, the
initiative also helped raise awareness of ocean conservation and environmental
responsibility.
The campaign continues to support
the United Nations Sustainable Development Goal #14: Life Below Water, which
emphasizes the protection of marine life and coastal ecosystems from pollution
and degradation. As plastic and debris continue to threaten ocean biodiversity,
efforts like these demonstrate that consistent community engagement can create
long-term impact.
