As SM marks four decades of growth, it celebrates the relationships that built its legacy—bringing over 3,500 exclusive deals across 88 malls nationwide in its biggest partner-powered shopping celebration yet

For generations, SM Supermalls has been part of Filipinos’ daily lives. It’s a space for shopping, celebrations, connections, and community. But as lifestyles change, so does SM.

Today, SM Supermalls continues to transform, not just in its tenant mix or infrastructure, but in how it serves, empowers, and grows with the people it was built for.

“SM has always been more than just malls—we are part of people’s lives and journeys. That’s why we constantly listen, innovate, and evolve. Our commitment is simple: to create spaces and experiences where every Filipino can thrive today and, in the future,” said Seven T. Tan, President of SM Supermalls.

At the heart of SM’s transformation is the belief that our greatest strength lies in the relationships we build—with customers, employees, partners, and communities.

A New Era of SM Supermalls: Big on People, Purpose, and Place

SM is evolving into a platform that uplifts communities and supports livelihoods. Through its SM for MSMEs program, SM has helped over 17,000 local businesses since 2019 overcome barriers through affordable leasing and digital support. Regular job fairs in partnership with DOLE and LGUs create thousands of employment opportunities.

The nationwide SM job fair results in 2,091 on-the-spot hires, and several of these successful applicants pose for a photograph with President Ferdinand “Bongbong” Marcos Jr., Department of Labor and Employment (DOLE) Secretary Bienvenido Laguesma, Technical Education and Skills Development Authority (TESDA) Secretary Kiko Benitez, and Department of Health (DOH) Secretary Dr. Ted Herbosa.

A Mall That Cares for the Next Generation

Across 48 malls, rooftop solar panels generate clean energy, while water recycling systems conserve freshwater. Flood mitigation is supported by catchment basins in 29 malls, and 69 malls feature electric vehicle charging stations. Sustainability programs like Trash to Cash and the SM Waste-Free Future campaign encourage recycling.
