ACCELERATING PAPERLESS INITIATIVES AT SANDS CHINA

In 2023, Sands China placed a special focus on reducing our paper waste through embracing technology. Our commitment to the paperless initiatives has not only helped us move away from paper to e-channels but also streamlined various internal processes. Through our paperless initiatives, we expect to save 1.36 million pieces of paper annually, equivalent to 136 of trees saved.

EMPOWERING MACAO SMES TO GO GLOBAL

To further support local SMEs in gaining international business, Sands China held a three-day Macao Showcase at Marina Bay Sands to introduce Macao businesses to Singapore sales and trade partners, regional and international media, and local residents and travelers. The showcase welcomed a Macao delegation of nearly 200 people to promote Macao brands for Food & Beverage, Fashion, Wellness and others.

SANDS RESORTS INCUBATION CENTER

A new program in 2023, the Sands Resorts Incubation Center encourages technology innovation among Macao startups and entrepreneurs by providing a real-world environment with developmental support to turn ground-breaking ideas into viable solutions that can lead to actual business. The program was launched during the BEYOND Expo event at The Venetian Macao’s Cotai Expo. We have also signed a memorandum of understanding (MOU) with Parafuturo de Macau Investment and Development Limited (PFM), the operator of the Macao Young Entrepreneur Incubation Centre (“MYEIC”), to pool resources on identifying potential enterprises through workshops, trainings, and competition events.
