The company has also embraced environmentally and socially conscious efforts, such as installing 111 Electric Vehicle Charging Stations (EVCS) in 62 SM Supermalls, and continually evolving its commitment to communities through sustainable practices like rooftop solar systems and water recycling facilities.
