Manila, Philippines — Water conservation at SM Prime Holdings, Inc. (SM Prime), is not just about infrastructure; it’s also about changing the mindsets of every individual who walks into its properties and redeveloping their relationship with water.
Across its malls, SM Prime implements its Water for Tomorrow campaign with dedicated programs that mindfully demonstrate how every drop of water can be used efficiently.
Stepping into the grounds of SM Supermalls becomes a subconscious learning experience for the unsuspecting mallgoer. Its sustainable water management systems, including widespread sewage treatment plants and rainwater harvesting, run like clockwork to contribute to the care of the planet’s natural resources.
Greywater recycling systems ensure that water from sinks and drains is reused for sanitation or landscaping, reducing the overall demand for water from the grid. Tenant-partner engagement programs encourage restaurants and shops to adopt water-saving practices.
Key to the success of the program, SM Supermalls invests in bringing the community together in thoughtful ways so that everyone thrives in the long term. Mall-wide behavioral campaigns remind millions of Filipinos that simple acts—turning off taps, avoiding water waste, and mindful consumption—create a collective ripple effect.
SM Cares plants little signages to bring awareness to mallgoers to some of the water-saving practices used by the mall.
By positioning malls as living classrooms for sustainability, SM Prime amplifies its commitment to conservation beyond its operations. Millions of mallgoers learn that their small, everyday actions have a shared impact, helping to secure water resources for the future.
Awareness campaigns targeted to the youth are part of the mall's advocacy on how SM Supermalls make sustainability practical.
Child-friendly sinks with eye-level signage allow children to also contribute to their water future.
“Every drop counts. Our malls show how simple actions, from reuse to mindful consumption, create everyday lessons in water conservation for millions of Filipinos,” said SM Supermalls President Steven Tan.
“We have a term for that core value in our country. It’s all of our pagmamalasakit – all our genuine concern and taking the right action today to care for this precious resource, so that our children can also have a comfortable and bright tomorrow,” said Tan.
Through the SM Green Movement, SM Prime continues to promote water stewardship by empowering the younger generation, families, and communities to make conscious actions and create lasting impact.
