SM Prime: Shaping a Decarbonized Future for Malls<\/em><\/strong><\/p>\n

With the 30th<\/sup> Conference of the Parties (COP30) taking place in Belem, Brazil, this November, the momentum to focus on lasting solutions for the planet\u2019s climate crises comes at its most critical time.<\/p>\n

For SM Prime Holdings, Inc., this means that the journey to Net Zero by 2040 becomes more than a unifying force across its portfolio; it is the goal for strengthened implementation, sound partnerships, and collective resilience.\"\"<\/p>\n

Empowered partnerships<\/strong><\/p>\n

Security, affordability, and sustainability \u2013 these are known as the \u201cenergy trilemma\u201d \u2013 challenges presently faced by businesses. It\u2019s especially relevant for the future of property development and urban resilience.\"\"<\/p>\n

(Photo caption) SM Prime continues forging strategic partnerships with leaders in renewable energy to expand its clean energy capacity, drive innovation, and accelerate the transition to a low-carbon future.<\/em><\/p>\n

For SM Prime, a comprehensive and diversified energy mix is an approach that benefits renewable energy producers and transforms the industry, and is the broader strategy to reduce reliance on fossil fuels.<\/p>\n

SM Supermalls has already achieved more than 50% of renewable energy use across its malls by leveraging partnerships with key renewable energy players and direct procurement<\/p>\n

This energy infrastructure reflects SM Prime\u2019s significant investment in emerging technologies. In 2022, SM Prime\u2019s partnership with Aboitiz\u00a0Renewables, Inc. (ARI) activated its strategic plans, and in 2024, it further broadened its renewable-energy footprint by partnering with TotalEnergies.\u00a0The addition of Citicore Renewable Energy Corporation in 2025, along with the steady increase of leading solar rooftop suppliers for SM Supermalls, helps meet the demands for renewables through on-site generation.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

This commitment to sustainable energy drives positive change and contributes to SM Prime\u2019s broader mitigation and adaptation strategies, supporting the country\u2019s national framework in achieving its emission reduction targets.<\/p>\n

Energy for the people<\/strong><\/p>\n

Resilient communities and enduring partnerships for climate-smart urban centers are part of these system shifts toward energy independence. It confirms that renewables are a strategic asset, especially as they become affordable and community-serving, empowering businesses nationwide.<\/p>\n

It also supports a sustainable lifestyle. For the SM Green Movement, this balance is achieved by re-energizing neighborhoods to contribute to the climate crisis and offering more options to become energy and fuel-efficient, while improving quality of life.<\/p>\n

\u201cWe started the journey with our energy efficiency programs in the 90s,\u201d said SM Supermalls President Steven Tan. \u201cThis lets us enjoy our mall spaces now because we maximize our energy use, lower operational costs, while hopefully, reducing our emissions,\u201d<\/p>\n

\u201cOf course, we still have a long way to go. But we are trying to make renewable energy accessible at scale to our malls \u2013 not just to create decarbonization value for the communities we touch and work with \u2013 but to provide flexible, adaptive, and sustainable mall experiences. Most importantly, a safer future for all,\u201d said Tan. ###<\/p>\n
