Diversity, Equity and Inclusion

Since 2014, we have partnered with Macau Special Olympics (MSO) to support the Healthy Athletes Program through donation and volunteering. The program enables people with intellectual disabilities to undergo health screenings which inform care and treatment decisions, and to receive medical follow-up treatments as needed. During the past 8 years, Sands China has contributed US$199,251 to the Healthy Athletes Program which provided over 5,500 health screenings to more than 600 individuals. In addition to the financial contribution, we also provided extensive team member volunteer support to the program. Our Sands Cares Ambassadors often assist medical professionals in carrying out examinations during screening events and annual Health Check day. We believe the program not only improves health but also the quality of life of the individual’s entire family and reduces stress for their caretakers.

Supporting COVID-19 in Macao

In 2022, the ongoing effect of COVID-19 in Macao accelerated our in-kind contributions for pandemic-related activity, with team members providing 116,579 service hours at Nucleic Acid Test (NAT) testing stations and 2,418,672 hours supporting quarantine and medical observation related operations in our hotels. Sands China has provided space and operational support for a testing center at The Venetian Macao’s Cotai Expo as part of the government’s mandatory testing programs. Team members also volunteered to assist with the operation of various nucleic acid test (NAT) stations in Macao. During the NAT drives, our volunteers assisted with registration, materials distribution and enquiry handling, and helped the elderly, disabled and people who need assistance to complete their testing.

Biodiversity

Biodiversity loss has quickly risen to the top of sustainability agendas around the world. Many experts say it is one of the three most severe global risks following climate action failure and extreme weather. Biodiversity is an emerging topic that we have been addressing as part of our commitment to water stewardship, sourcing, and cultural and natural heritage. We are in the process of building a comprehensive biodiversity strategy by gaining understanding of the impacts and opportunities relating to three key realms - oceans, freshwater and land.
