Sands China Hosting Series of Back-of-House Roadshows for Local SME Suppliers
Part of company’s ongoing support to local SMEs during pandemic
(Macao,
May
13, 2020) –
Sands China is featuring
several local SMEs at back-of-house
roadshows for its team members, as part of
the company’s ongoing support to local SMEs,
especially during this difficult time of the
pandemic.
At various times
between May 11 and May 29, Sands China is
hosting nine local SMEs at roadshows at
Sands® Macao, The
Venetian® Macao,
Sands® Cotai Central and The
Parisian Macao, as part of Sands
China’s Local Small, Medium and Micro
Suppliers Support
Programme.
The roadshows, which
are regularly held at Sands China
properties’ back-of-house team member areas,
seek to provide additional business
opportunities for local small, medium and
micro suppliers, “Made in Macao” companies
and Macao young entrepreneurs, in line with
Sands China’s efforts to continually offer
support to local SME growth and increase
their procurement opportunities with large
companies like Sands China.
The group of local
SME suppliers – who are accepting
consumption subsidy smartcards – are
offering a variety of nearly 300 of their
products and services to Sands China team
members at discounted prices, including
health foods, eyeglasses, sportswear, dried
seafood and other goods and services.
“Sands China is very
pleased to once again be able to show
support to local SME suppliers through these
roadshows,” said Dr. Wilfred Wong, president
of Sands China Ltd. “Our team members
benefit from having the convenience of
shopping during their breaks, and the
vendors benefit from direct access to our
more than 28,000 team members and the
opportunity to raise their brand awareness
and increase
sales.”
Sands China’s Local
Small, Medium and Micro Suppliers Support
Programme was jointly announced in July 2015
with the Macao Chamber of Commerce. The
programme is in line with the Macao
government’s initiative to “buy local” and
demonstrates Sands China’s commitment to
supporting local enterprises as part of the
company’s corporate social responsibility
efforts. It is part of Sands China’s
supplier relationship management strategy,
which guides the company’s long-standing
effort to support local suppliers, whom it
views as its strategic
partners.
