Simple home decisions for a greener lifestyle

Making simple and conscious decisions to adopt a greener lifestyle is making that first big step to help fight climate change.

SM Store has an extensive collection of green items that will make it so much easier to adopt to a green lifestyle.

At SM Home, green home essentials are reasonably priced and sustainably sourced using eco-friendly materials.

Included in SM Home's green portfolio are linen products made of bamboo such as pillow cases, bedsheets and duvets, along with home products made of natural fiber such as buri hampers and baskets that can serve as home organizers and ornaments.

Looking for furniture? SM Home has a collection of carefully curated furniture handcrafted and designed by local enterprises, thus supporting the livelihood of Filipino artisans.

"We are proud of SM Home's Green Finds portfolio such as the bamboo linens, which are popular with our customers," said Janice Yang, SM Home business unit head.

Eco-friendly ACE LED bulbs create a cozy ambiance while significantly reducing energy consumption. Organic cleaners tackle dirt with environmentally friendly ingredients, ensuring a healthier home for the family while embracing sustainable practices.

For plantitos and plantitas, there are biodegradable pots made from wood powder and rice or corn husks with resin.

"Sustainability starts with conscious choices. With ACE Express at SM Store, intentional shopping becomes a seamless experience. Our Green Finds empower you to shop with a purpose, creating a lasting impact on our planet's well-being," said ACE Hardware business unit head Bernardo Ong.

Clean beauty is something that more and more shoppers are also going for. At SM Beauty, customers can choose from the best and widest array of clean beauty products.

"Whether it be for their every self-care routine or for gifting this holiday season, I am sure they will find something here," said Sharon Decapia, AVP for Marketing, PR and Sustainability, Watsons Philippines.

The SM Beauty department at the SM Store has a line of clean beauty products packaged using 100- percent recycled plastic.

The SM Green Finds program continues to scale, highlighting over 16,000 sustainable products from its participating retail affiliates as it helps educate consumers about the benefit and impact of pivoting to a greener lifestyle. At the end of the day, aside from pivoting to green, Filipinos are also looking for a marketplace that gives them value for money.
