PASAY CITY, Philippines, 20th August 2026 — The SM Group received 12 Stevie Awards at the 2026 International Business Awards, with recognition spanning parent-company reporting and programs delivered through its malls and communities.
SM Investments Corporation, the parent
company of the SM Group, received four awards. It won Gold Stevies in the
Conglomerates (Large) and Best Annual Report (Publicly Held Corporations)
categories for its 2025 Integrated Report.
Its 2025 Sustainability Report received
Bronze for Best Sustainability Report. The SM Sustainability School also
received Bronze under Sustainability Initiative of the Year in Asia, Australia
and New Zealand.
“Clear reporting gives investors and
other stakeholders a better view of how we make decisions, manage the business
and plan for the long term,” said Frederic C. DyBuncio, President and Chief
Executive Officer of SM Investments. “The other awards show how that same sense
of responsibility is carried through by our businesses in the communities they
serve.”
That work can be seen across the eight
awards received by SM Supermalls.
“People experience a mall through the
things they do there, not through what we say about it,” said SM Supermalls
President Steven T. Tan. “A place to read, an event that brings local art to
more people, or a program that makes the mall easier to use can make a
practical difference to a community.”
The Philippine International Pyromusical
Competition won Gold for Brand Experience of the Year (Consumer), while the
Find Your SM campaign received Silver in the same category.
The SM Green Movement won Silver for
Achievement in Corporate Social Responsibility. The SM Cares Coastal Cleanup
initiative received Silver for Achievement in Environment, while SM Cares: A
Mall for All received Silver for Achievement in Diversity and Inclusion.
The SM Cares Book Nook received Bronze
for Most Innovative Creative Project. The program makes space in malls for
people to read and share books. The Empowering Communities campaign was also
recognized under Corporate Social Responsibility Program of the Year in Asia,
Australia and New Zealand.
SM Mindanao Art received Bronze in the
Corporate and Community (Community Engagement Event) category, giving
Mindanaoan artists and their work a wider public audience.
More than 300 business professionals
took part in two months of judging. Winners were determined from their average
scores.
The International Business Awards, now
in their 23rd year, recognize organizations, executives, entrepreneurs and
teams worldwide.
