This year’s Green Retail Agenda had a theme “Moving Towards Sustainability”.
“We strive to make SM Malls greener, implement efficient and sustainable practices into our mall operations. These sustainability practices are becoming common as the environment movement continues to flourish. It (sustainable environmental practices) gives retailers and us in the shopping mall a certain level of credibility and integrity as well as positive image with our stakeholder,” says SM City Davao Mall Manager Lynette Lopez.
