SM CITY BACOOR,CAVITE- In celebration of Earth Day 2023,
SM City Bacoor recently
welcomed the students
from Rochepol Jane Academy-Bacoor and Maliksi
to raise awareness on
environmental protection
and sustainability. This
year’s theme “Invest In
Our Planet,Invest In Our
Youth” highlights the need
to prioritize actions to address the climate crisis by
teaching children the importance of caring for the
environment.
The students
enjoyed the art activity
and storytelling featuring
the works from renowned
Filipino artist Manuel
Baldemor, followed by a
Sustainability Tour guided
by SM City Bacoor Mall
Manager Ms.Josephine
Arvesu, Resident Engineer Mark Lester Dimapilis and SM City Bacoor
volunteer employees. The
tour showcased the mall’s
1.3-megawatt (MW) solar
power rooftop which reduced the mall’s carbon
footprint by harnessing
sustainable energy from
the sun. This generates
power for the mall, relying less on electricity from
non-renewable sources.
The program also highlighted SM Cares’ initiative
to protect the environment
including its Trash To Cash
Program which encourage
shoppers and the community to recycle waste materials. Jollibee – SM City
Bacoor Branch also provided food and treats for
the kids to enjoy.
SM Supermalls
ensures and exemplifies
ways to have a sustainable future by taking action
to further the cause of protecting the environment for
the generations to come.
