SM Group was named Most Honored Organization of the Year at the 2025 Asia-Pacific Stevie Awards after securing 42 award points across multiple categories, solidifying its leadership in innovation, sustainability, and community engagement.

Leading the wins was SM Supermalls, which brought home 12 trophies for its standout programs in digital transformation, customer experience, and mall-based initiatives. SM Retail and SM Foundation also earned two awards each, further boosting the group’s overall recognition.

“For us, these awards aren’t just accolades — they’re a reflection of the dedication and passion of our entire team. 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,” said Steven T. Tan, President of SM Supermalls.

Among the highlighted programs were the SM Art Market and SM Job Fairs, which not only provided platforms for emerging artists and job seekers but also drove foot traffic and customer engagement across SM malls. SM Cares also received nods for its Book Nook literacy initiative and Energy Efficiency Journey, underscoring SM’s commitment to social responsibility and environmental stewardship.

The recognition comes at a time when retail partnerships are increasingly measured not just by profit but by shared value. SM’s award-winning programs offer business partners avenues to align with impactful campaigns, gain visibility, and engage meaningfully with local communities.

SM China also contributed to the award tally, earning eight Stevie trophies, a nod to the brand’s growing influence and adaptability in the wider Asian market.

The Stevie Awards are one of the most prestigious international business awards programs, recognizing innovation, customer service, and performance excellence in the Asia-Pacific region.
