SM Cares continues to drive active participation in ocean conservation by taking part once again in
this year’s International Coastal Cleanup Day last September 16, 2023, Saturday.
SM spearheads
numerous cleanup drives
throughout the year in support of the United Nations
Decade of Ocean Science
for Sustainable Development (2021-2030). In line
with this year’s UN Ocean
Decade Challenge, Sustainably Feed the Global
Population, SM’s projects
on water conservation, including the recycling and
treatment of water from
handwashing and rainwater harvesting, highlights
the importance of community initiative in minimizing
pollution, protecting fisheries and helping maintain
potable water sources for
everyone.
“We all have a responsibility to help protect
and safeguard our marine
environment, its resources, and the communities
it serves,” said SM Supermalls Vice President
for Corporate Compliance
and SM Cares Program
Director for the Environment Engr. Liza B. Silerio.
“A cleaner ocean means
a better future for generations to come.”
