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.
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.
SM volunteers in action during the April coastal cleanup at
SM By the Bay, working together to remove marine debris and protect our
shoreline—one bag at a time. Over a ton of trash collected by SM volunteers
during the April 2025 coastal cleanup at SM By the Bay—each bag a step closer
to a cleaner, healthier marine environment. Participants from SM Supermalls
take part in the April cleanup at SM By the Bay, showing that teamwork and
purpose go a long way in protecting coastal communities. Step by step, bag by
bag—SM employees move with purpose along the SM By the Bay, turning their
mornings into a meaningful mission for the environment. Through a spirit of
volunteerism and purpose, the initiative also promoted camaraderie among SM
stakeholders, who worked together toward a #SMWasteFreeFuture.
To sustain this momentum, SM Cares is inviting the public to
join the upcoming Coastal Cleanup in celebration of World Oceans Day on June 7,
2025.
Participating malls include: SM By the Bay, SM City Manila,
SM City San Lazaro, SM City Sta. Mesa, SM City Rosario, SM City Batangas, SM
City Lipa, SM City Bacolod, SM City Iloilo, SM City Davao, SM City CDO
Downtown, SM City Tanza, SM City Lucena, and SM Center Dagupan.
Let’s continue making every bag of collected trash
count—because caring for the Earth begins with our shores.
