PASAY CITY, Philippines, December 1, 2025 — SM Investments Corporation (SM Investments), the parent company of the SM Group, has been awarded the Silver Rank by the Asia Sustainability Reporting Rating (ASRRAT) for its 2024 Sustainability Report. This achievement marks the company’s fourth regional recognition for excellence in sustainability disclosure.
Regional Recognition for Sustainability Disclosure
ASRRAT is a regional ratings system established by the National Center for Sustainability Reporting (NCSR), the first independent organization in Indonesia dedicated to promoting and developing sustainability reporting across Asia. The recognition highlights SM Investments’ commitment to transparent, comprehensive, and credible reporting.
Commitment to Climate Resilience and Transparency
“Guided by our responsibility to the communities we serve, we continue to embed sustainability into every part of our business.

Early Adopter of Global Reporting Standards
SM Investments has long upheld rigorous global standards in sustainability reporting. It is among the first Philippine companies to adopt the International Financial Reporting Standards (IFRS) S1 and S2, reinforcing its dedication to trustworthy and investor-oriented disclosures.
ASRRAT’s Expanding Regional Impact
In 2023, NCSR broadened ASRRAT’s reach, recognizing 68 Indonesian companies and seven organizations from the Philippines, Bangladesh, Russia, and Australia for their exemplary sustainability reporting practices. The regional expansion underscores the growing importance of sustainability reporting across Asia and beyond.
