In 2023, our parent company, LVS, undertook a global review of our existing human trafficking prevention program to evaluate ways we might improve our efforts with respect to modern slavery and broader human rights topics. The assessment was completed by the compliance team and took place over the course of 2023. Areas of focus included sex trafficking, ethical recruitment and labor trafficking and supply chain transparency and due diligence. The assessment aimed to catalog all current anti-human tracking measures and due diligence efforts across our operating jurisdiction, identify and assess potential high-risk areas, enhance existing measures and establish measurable goals for preventing and eliminating human trafficking and modern slavery in our operations and supply chain. LVS published a Modern Slavery Statement pursuant to the requirements of the U.K. Modern Slavery Act. The statement can be found on the LVS investor website.
SUPPLIER ADVANCEMENT
Support small, local and diverse businesses in achieving success
Through the consistent and structured Sands China’s F.I.T Program, we place a high priority on empowering the advancement of local businesses, not only because they are integral to our resort offerings. A strong business community ensures our region maintains economic opportunity and secure employment.
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.

A commitment to integrating diverse perspectives and promoting inclusiveness in all aspects of our business is the common thread around the world.
We are dedicated to creating a diverse and inclusive culture for our team members, suppliers and community partners, supported by our governance structure to shape our efforts, benchmarking to track our progress and ongoing communications to foster awareness and education.
In 2023, we extended post-paternity benefits to new fathers providing men with greater flexibility to care for family by working one hour less per shift and enjoying regular work shifts without rotation for the 30 days after returning to work from their child’s birth. In addition, we launched the Return to Work Program to support women who resigned from work to fulfill their family commitments. We invite women to return to work offering flexible work arrangements and professional training.
