SM Investments powers up renewables, cuts emissions 

SM Investments Corp. is turbocharging its clean energy push, with renewables powering 31 percent of its operations in 2025, up from 27 percent in 2024. 

The Group tapped roughly 730 million kilowatt-hours of green electricity, slashing 370,644 metric tons of carbon emissions—equivalent to taking nearly 297,000 cars off the road for a year.

“This isn’t just sustainability—it is smart business,” said SM Investments President and CEO Frederic C. DyBuncio. “Investing in renewable energy strengthens cost management, efficiency, and resilience for the long haul.”

Driving the shift is Philippine Geothermal Production Company (PGPC), supplying up to 400 MW of reliable geothermal power from Mak-Ban and Tiwi. PGPC is also exploring six new geothermal sites in Luzon, potentially adding another 400 MW of clean energy.

SM Prime Holdings has installed over 200,000 solar panels across 69 properties, boosting efficiency and cutting emissions. Alfamart recently added rooftop solar at its Quezon distribution hub, further trimming energy costs while greening logistics. 

Meanwhile, SM’s banking arms continue financing sustainable energy projects, cementing the Group’s integrated decarbonization strategy.

By linking growth with sustainability, SM Investments is proving that going green can power profits, operations, and the planet all at once.
