SM Investments Corp agreed on Friday to use government hazard data to assess risks at its facilities, a move that will help the conglomerate plan investments and operations amid rising natural-disaster threats.

Market Impact

The country’s largest retailer said it will deploy tools from GeoRiskPH, a Department of Science and Technology platform, to analyse flood, earthquake and other hazards at its sites nationwide. The memorandum of agreement was signed by SM Investments Consultant Timothy Daniels and PHIVOLCS Director Teresito C. Bacolcol.

Under the deal, SM will start using HazardHunterPH Pro, Geomapper PH, PlanSmart and GeoAnalyticsPH to map exposure at its malls, logistics hubs and offices. The data will guide business continuity planning and long-term asset decisions, the company said.

PHIVOLCS said the collaboration shows how public-private partnerships can sharpen disaster risk reduction. “Integrating data-driven hazard assessment into business planning is important to sustainable development,” Director Bacolcol said.

For SM, the pact deepens its climate adaptation programme, which already incorporates resilience into investment choices. “Understanding the risks around our properties helps us decide where and how to expand,” Daniels said.
