Three Hotels at Sands China Properties Earn Macao Green Hotel Gold Awards
Venetian, Parisian and Four Seasons continue as multi-year awardees
(Macao, July 1, 2021) – The Venetian®
Macao, The Parisian Macao and the Four Seasons Hotel
Macao Cotai Strip have each earned a Macao Green Hotel
Gold Award. The awards were announced and presented at
an official ceremony Tuesday at the auditorium of the
Environmental Protection Bureau of the Macao SAR,
attended by representatives from Sands China and the
three hotels.
Launched in
2007, the Macao Green Hotel Awards are organised by the
Environmental Protection Bureau (DSPA) in collaboration
with the Macao Government Tourism Office. The awards
were created to raise awareness of the importance of
environmental management in Macao's hotel industry and
to commend those hotels that have adopted environmental
measures.
Since their
respective openings, all of the hotels at Sands China's
properties have been on the list of awarded hotels since
each hotel became
eligible.
Additionally,
Sands China is ranked for the second straight year in
the top 10 in both the Hong Kong Business Sustainability
Index (HKBSI) and the Greater Bay Area Business
Sustainability Index (GBABSI). Run by The Chinese
University of Hong Kong (CUHK) Business School's Centre
for Business Sustainability, the Hong Kong index charts
the ongoing development and performance of Hang Seng
Index constituent companies on business sustainability,
aiming to encourage them to adopt corporate social
responsibility as a progressive business model to
achieve business sustainability. Also run by CUHK, the
wider-reaching Greater Bay Area index is the
first-of-its-kind business sustainability index for the
region, seeking to further encourage sustainability
among companies in the Guangdong-Hong Kong-Macao Greater
Bay Area.
Dr. Wilfred
Wong, president of Sands China Ltd., said: "Sands China
Ltd. is honoured to once again be recognised by the
Macao SAR government for our company's achievements in
environmental sustainability. Through continual research
and local engagement, we have gained a better
understanding of the salient sustainability topics in
our business. We have incorporated these insights into
our strategies within an enhanced overarching strategy
structured around the three pillars of People,
Communities and Planet – which guide the company's
efforts to lead the industry in sustainable
operations."
In April,
Sands China released its 2020 ESG Report, highlighting
the company's Environmental, Social and Governance (ESG)
performance at the conclusion of Sands China's third
five-year cycle of goals under the Sands ECO360 global
sustainability
strategy.
