SM has once again proven its leadership in innovation and community engagement, earning the coveted title of Asia-Pacific’s Most Honored Organization of the Year at the 2025 Asia-Pacific Stevie® Awards. The group collected a total of 42 award points, with SM Supermalls taking home 12 trophies, and SM Retail and SM Foundation earning two each.

At the forefront of SM Supermalls’ wins is the SM Art Market, which earned a Gold Stevie® for Innovation in the Use of Events. The Art Market, along with initiatives like SM Job Fairs, exemplifies how SM creates platforms that go beyond promotions—empowering entrepreneurs, driving foot traffic, and strengthening connections between brands and communities.

Equally compelling are SM Cares’ initiatives, such as the Book Nook and Energy Efficiency Journey, which demonstrate the group’s commitment to sustainability and inclusive development. These programs offer partner brands an opportunity to align with impactful causes and strengthen their own ESG (Environmental, Social, and Governance) narratives.

“For us, these awards aren’t just accolades—they’re a reflection of the dedication and passion of our entire team,” said SM Supermalls President Steven T. Tan, “At the heart of it all, our true mission is to enrich the lives of every customer, partner, and community we touch. That’s what drives us forward.”

Beyond the Philippines, SM China brought home eight awards, highlighting the brand’s ability to adapt and excel in global markets—offering partners an expanded gateway to opportunities across Asia.

For retailers and service providers, SM Supermalls’ latest recognition reaffirms the value of collaboration. Whether through co-hosted community events, integrated CSR campaigns, or digital activations, partners gain access to one of the region’s most awarded and trusted platforms.

These accolades underscore SM’s relentless drive to innovate and lead with purpose—setting new standards in retail, sustainability, and community impact across the Asia-Pacific region.
