Seventh year of company's parent-child activity series

(Macao, Sep 16, 2024) – Around 600 Sands China team members and their families recently enjoyed Sands China Amazing Summer 2024, an annual July-August family activity series.

This year's Sands China Amazing Summer 2024 provided team members with a variety of fun parent-child activities, including a large-scale parent-child painting, art and science workshops, fun fair, storytelling, kids book crossing, and back-of-house property tours.

Now in its seventh edition, the annual Amazing Summer campaign is part of Sands China's ongoing commitment to the well-being and quality of life of its team members, both at work and at home. Over 3,300 participants to date have enjoyed wonderful moments with their families at Amazing Summer activities.

"At Sands China, we consider team members our most valuable asset," said Dr. Wilfred Wong, executive vice chairman of Sands China Ltd. "We place a strong emphasis on their mental and physical well-being and actively promote their work-life balance. Additionally, we cultivate a harmonious working environment to ensure high levels of engagement. We are delighted by the positive reception of the Amazing Summer campaign among our team members, and it is a pleasure to be able to offer this parent-child activity series for seven years running. Our thanks go to all team members who participated and to our dedicated human resources team for the hard work they put in to make it happen."

Sands China team member Viana Cheang said: "Painting tents and picnicking with children in Le Jardin was a really fun experience and I am very grateful to the company for making the arrangements. My children had a great time with all the activities and I was so happy to have that bonding time with them. I hope the company will organise fun family activities like this for us every summer!"

Sands China is committed to building a family-friendly workplace, where team members and their families are taken care of. In addition to the Amazing Summer activity, the company has collaborated with the Macao Education and Youth Bureau since 2021 to promote parenting education among team members, through initiatives like Sands China's Parenting Education Programme, which aims to enhance team members' awareness and understanding of parent-child education. To date, the company has organised approximately 40 on-site parenting education programmes at Sands China properties.
