ISO 14001 ENVIRONMENTAL MANAGEMENT SYSTEM RE-CERTIFICATION

In 2025, Sands China once again passed the ISO 14001 Environmental Management System recertification, covering 100% of its operations. This year, we strengthened supplier collaboration by introducing contractor environmental performance evaluations and requiring key contractors to disclose environmental impacts through an environmental management plan, as well as to propose mitigation strategies to reduce their impacts on the environment. We also ask vendors to share current emissions data and indicate whether they have greenhouse gas reduction targets aligned with the Science Based Targets initiative (SBTi). These efforts strengthen our supply chain and drive progress toward responsible sourcing.

STRIVING FOR TRAINING RESULTS AND IMPACT

Sands China launched the AI Upskilling Programme as a preparatory and educational initiative to strengthen internal expertise and future readiness. Designed to equip participants with a solid understanding of emerging AI trends and practical applications, the programme ensures the organization remains informed and agile in adopting emerging technologies. The programme encompassed curated LinkedIn Learning modules to build foundational knowledge, an intensive training experience at Huawei's Hangzhou Training Center with hands-on practice in large language model development, and workshops focused on AI tool selection, practical application, and ethical use.

ADVANCING REVITALIZATION IN LOCAL COMMUNITY

At the Iec Long Firecracker Factory and other areas of the city, creativity and cultural storytelling merge in unexpected ways. One of the standout installations is the Lobster Firecracker and the Lobster Cockerel specially designed for Macao, as part of the pop art icon Philip Colbert's Macao art takeover, expanding an initial maritime tourism campaign to a city-wide art extravaganza. This imaginative display features a towering 4-meter stainless steel Lobster Firecracker and a sitting Lobster Mushroom at Iec Long Firecracker Factory. These efforts are part of our commitment to Sands China's Community Revitalization Programme, which has consistently embraced art, whether inspired by nature or culture as a core element.
