SM Prime Receives Recognition from International Organizations

SM Prime Holdings Inc., (SM Prime), one of the leading integrated property developers in SEA, has been recognized by three international award-giving bodies of excellence in transparent environmental, social, and governance (ESG) reporting for its 2021 Annual Integrated Report- "Together, We Rise."

SM published its sustainability reports since 2012 even before the Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) mandated sustainability reporting in the Philippines. SM Prime also promotes transparency and accountability by informing investors and stakeholders of its ESG performance and impacts, decision-making processes, and competitive positioning value in the sector.

"We are honored to receive these awards as a recognition of our commitment to provide transparent reporting in our sustainable practices. We value our stakeholders, and we strive to enrich the quality of life of the Filipino people," said SM Prime President, Jeffrey Lim. 

At te summit of international recognitions, SM Prime bagged accolades from the biggest and most coveted awards competition in the business called Stevie Awards. The Asia-Pacific Stevie Awards recognizes business innovation across the entire APAC region, whereas IBAs is one of the first and most highly anticipated awards programs of the Stevie Awards that features a wide variety of categories relevant to every facet of the workplace that is open to all kinds and sizes of organizations globally. SM Prime was awarded the Bronze Stevie at the 2023 APAC Stevie Awards program and Silver Stevie in the 2022 International Business Awards. 

Also, in the regional scene, the company won a Silver Rank in the Asia Sustainability Reporting Rating 2022, a sustainability report ranking by the National Center for Sustainability Reporting. ASRRAT's rating system employs criteria based on GRI Standards compliance, GHG disclosures transparency, and alignment with the support of the UN SDGs, et al. 

The international recognitions are a testament to SM Prime's active role in championing sustainability across its operations as it continues to be a catalyst for economic growth, delivering innovative and sustainable lifestyle cities, thereby enriching the quality of life of millions of people.
