SUSTEX 2025 champions innovation for environmental stewardship
SM Seaside City Cebu solar panels are part of SM’s sustainable innovations that reflect how smart energy solutions can create lasting impact for both business and the environment.
SM Prime, the Department of Science and Technology (DOST) and ARISE Philippines are launching the first-ever Sustainability Expo (SUSTEX) on August 29–30, 2025 at SMX Convention Center Aura, Taguig City.
With the theme “Innovation for Environmental Stewardship,” SUSTEX 2025 will showcase groundbreaking technologies and scalable solutions advancing climate resilience, waste reduction, and circularity across industries.
Over 50 exhibitors will highlight advancements in waste management and recycling, energy and water efficiency, electric vehicles, carbon reduction, air quality improvement, and disaster resilience. The expo will serve as a hub for cross-sector dialogue and public-private collaboration, bringing together industry leaders, government agencies, MSMEs, tenant partners, sustainability advocates, diplomats, and students.
“We believe innovation is central to achieving a low-carbon, circular, and resilient future,” said Mr. Hans T. Sy, Chairman of the Executive Committee, SM Prime Holdings, Inc. “Through SUSTEX, we aim to move beyond dialogue – to shape solutions, forge stronger partnerships and drive change at the scale this moment demands.”
“Through collaboration with industries, government, academe, and communities, we aim to accelerate solutions that will help transform the Philippine’s business landscape into a true champion of circular economy and climate action. At the heart of these efforts is our goal to empower every Filipino to become a victor, not a victim, in the face of disasters and climate challenges,” said DOST Secretary Renato U. Solidum, Jr.
SUSTEX aligns with SM’s Waste-Free Future campaign and the company’s commitment to the United Nations Sustainable Development Goals. Attendees can expect interactive exhibits, expert-led forums, and solution-driven conversations.
