Diversity, Equity and Inclusion

A designed “Return to Work” program was developed after surveying more than 100 women to understand the challenges that spurred their departures and the difficulties they faced in returning to work. The program supports women who have resigned from employment due to life events and personal circumstances. We held sharing sessions for women at the official launch of the program initially piloted in 2022. More than 100 applicants attended the kick-off, which offered sessions with professional women from different fields and job-matching interviews. To date, 18 participants have joined Sands China through a six-month work training initiative.

RESPONSIBLE GAMING

In 2023, Sands China offered the first ever responsible gaming themed carnival organized by a gaming concessionaire in Macao. The event featured 11 fun and interactive activities with the objective of improving family communication, developing the concept of smart financial management, and increasing responsible gaming awareness among families. It included a take-home activity that helps children keep a savings journal and encourages parents to continue their engagement as children develop concepts of smart financial management beyond the carnival.

Biodiversity

To advance our biodiversity strategy, we have been working to understand the impact we make on oceans, fresh water and land and act according to a defined hierarchy of mitigation actions. Our biodiversity initiatives are specifically focused on gaining deeper understanding of impacts in our direct operations and supply chain so that we can create meaningful opportunities to protect the natural world. We also engage our team members with biodiversity awareness activities.
