SM Investments, PHIVOLCS Partner to Boost Disaster Resilience

Market Impact

KUALA LUMPUR, Aug 28 — SM Investments Corp., the parent company of the SM Group, has partnered with the Philippines’ Department of Science and Technology-Philippine Institute of Volcanology and Seismology (DOST-PHIVOLCS) to enhance disaster resilience using hazard and risk information, according to a statement released Friday.

The collaboration involves the use of GeoRiskPH, a government platform providing data on natural hazards, with SM committing to tools such as HazardHunterPH Pro, Geomapper PH, PlanSmart, and GeoAnalyticsPH. These will be used to assess potential hydrometeorological and geological risks affecting SM’s facilities, assets, and operational sites, supporting business continuity and long-term investment decisions.

PHIVOLCS Director Teresito C. Bacolcol emphasized the importance of private-sector partnerships in strengthening national resilience, stating that integrating hazard assessment tools into business planning is critical for disaster risk reduction and sustainable development. SM Investments Consultant and Head of Investor Relations and Sustainability Timothy Daniels highlighted that understanding risks helps guide investment and asset management decisions.

The agreement underscores the role of private enterprises in supporting national disaster resilience as SM continues to expand its property portfolio across the Philippines. Details on specific projects or timelines were not disclosed.

The partnership reflects growing efforts in the region to integrate climate adaptation and disaster risk management into corporate strategies. Further updates are expected as implementation progresses.
