The SM Group received 12 Stevie Awards at the 2026 International Business Awards, recognizing its corporate reporting, sustainability initiatives and community programs.

SM Investments Corp., the group's parent company, received four awards, including Gold Stevie awards for Conglomerates (Large) and Best Annual Report (Publicly Held Corporations) for its 2025 Integrated Report.

Its 2025 Sustainability Report received a Bronze Stevie for Best Sustainability Report, while the SM Sustainability School was also recognized with a Bronze award for 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,” SM Investments president and CEO Frederic C. DyBuncio said.

“The other awards show how that same sense of responsibility is carried through by our businesses in the communities they serve,” he added.

SM Supermalls accounted for eight of the group's awards, covering brand experience, corporate social responsibility, environmental programs, diversity and inclusion, community engagement and creative initiatives.

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 and SM Cares Coastal Cleanup initiative each received Silver awards for corporate social responsibility and environmental achievement, respectively. SM Cares: A Mall for All also won Silver for Achievement in Diversity and Inclusion.

The SM Cares Book Nook received Bronze for Most Innovative Creative Project, while the Empowering Communities campaign was 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.

“People experience a mall through the things they do there, not through what we say about it,” SM Supermalls president Steven T. Tan said.

“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,” he added.

More than 300 business professionals participated in two months of judging, with winners determined based on their average scores.

Now in its 23rd year, the International Business Awards recognize organizations, executives, entrepreneurs and teams from around the world.
