Public Square
DoST-backed exhibits highlight SM sustainability programs

AS part of its commitment to the community and the environment, SM Prime Holdings Inc. (SMPH) together with the Department of Science and Technology (DoST) launched a series of mall exhibits on sustainability and disaster resilience.

In his message, Dr. Renato Solidum, Department of Science and Technology undersecretary and Philippine Institute of Vulcanology and Seismology officer-in-charge, mentioned how we Filipinos repeatedly faced the risks of natural hazards and the effects of climate change in the country, saying that our story should not be just one of survival, but that of becoming victors over disasters. For this, continuous education about disaster resilience and sustainability, he said, was a must.
