MANILA, PHILIPPINES — SM Supermalls, through its Corporate Social Responsibility arm, SM Cares, and the Department of Environment and Natural Resources (DENR), continue to drive active participation in ocean conservation with the latest leg of SM’s Coastal Clean-up drive, held on June 08 in celebration of World Oceans Day.
This year, SM was able to collect more than 15,000 kg of trash with the help of 2,500 SM Employees and volunteers from 15 SM Supermalls nationwide.
Since 2014, SM’s coastal clean-up initiative has grown to include more coastal locations and volunteers, showing the true impact of SM’s advocacy and the power of community participation in environmental stewardship and marine conservation efforts.
SM Cares’ Coastal Clean-up project is part of the organization’s Programs on Environment. SM Cares also has supporting initiatives focused on children and the youth, women and breastfeeding mothers, senior citizens, and persons with disabilities.
