SM Group receives 12 Stevie® Awards for reporting and community programs
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.
