The recognition cements the SM Group’s long-running commitment to sustainability across its businesses.
Its banking arm, BDO Unibank Inc., also secured a Platinum Award for its own environmental and governance initiatives.
“More than the recognition, we see these accolades as a testament to the SM Group’s expansive sustainability initiatives—from green financing, waste and water management, energy efficiency, to corporate governance,” said Frederic C. DyBuncio, president and CEO of SM Investments.
“We share these awards with our people, investors, and host communities. We are committed to continue pursuing initiatives that create shared value,” DyBuncio added.
SM Investments also received the Best Investor Relations Team Award for effectively engaging investors through digital channels, along with the Best Sustainability Team Award for advancing its environmental agenda.
