Disaster resilient SME key to sustainable value chain

August 23, 2019

Small and medium enterprises (SME) form the lifeblood of the economy through the stimulation of economic activity. SM, as a staunch supporter of micro small and medium enterprises growth, recognizes that disaster resilient MSME are the key to a sustainable value chain and in attaining business continuity.

“Empowering supply chains is particularly close to our hearts because SM’s roots were borne from our father’s entrepreneurial spirit,” says Hans Sy, SM Prime Holdings Inc. chairman of the executive committee and SM Investments Corp. adviser at the United Nations Global Compact-Global Reporting Initiative regional sustainability summit held on 20 August 2019 at the Conrad Manila.

“It is because of this that we understand the journey and challenges faced by small and medium enterprises. We want to help them not only by providing a strong market but by building their resilience to overcome their risks and maximize their opportunities,” Sy added.
