SM Retail and SM Foundation also contributed significantly, each earning two awards.

Beyond the sheer volume of accolades, the wins underscore a compelling narrative for SM's partners, particularly for SM Supermalls: the potent combination of innovation, robust community engagement, and operational excellence as key drivers of shared growth.

Among the gold recipients, the SM Art Market stood out, earning the Award for Innovation in the Use of Events. This initiative, alongside other award-winning programs like the SM Job Fairs, exemplifies SM Supermalls' strategic approach to driving foot traffic, fostering deeper consumer connections, and boosting the visibility of partner brands.
