BE PART OF THE MOVEMENT TOWARDS CLEANER SEAS and OCEANS at SM CARES 2024 INTERNATIONAL COASTAL CLEAN-UP
The International Coastal Clean-Up (ICC) is back for another year and is shaping up to be the biggest one yet! Get ready to be part of one the most impactful environmental events in the country as SM Cares invites you to the 2024 ICC taking place this coming Sept. 21 in various SM Supermalls across the country.
Held annually, the ICC encourages individuals to be part of the movement for cleaner seas and oceans, inspiring thousands of Filipino volunteers from various sectors and communities every year to join the efforts to help ensure the cleanliness of the shorelines and waterways in the country.
In 2023, SM Cares recorded more than 100,000 kg of trash collected with the help of an estimated 17,000 total volunteers from 15 SM Supermalls nationwide. This year, in celebration of its 20th year of supporting communities and creating a positive impact on the environment, SM Cares aims to double the amount of solid waste collected to 200,000 kg, eying a volunteer count of 20,000.
Once again, this year’s ICC will take place simultaneously in 15 different SM Supermalls across the country including SM City Olongapo Central and SM City Olongapo Downtown at Parola, Brgy. Kalaklan.
