Five Sands China Departments Earn ISO Certification for Occupational Health and Safety

(Macao, Mar. 30, 2021) – Five Sands China departments have received ISO 45001:2018 certification for their occupational health and safety (OHS) management systems, a testament to the company's success in proactively creating a safe working environment.

The food and beverage, procurement and supply chain, housekeeping, and security departments each earned the certification for the first time, and the facilities department earned two recertifications: one for OHS and another for its quality management system (ISO 9001:2015).

"Sands China is very pleased with this latest round of ISO certifications," said Michael Naylor, senior vice president of facilities for Sands China Ltd. "The certifications, which apply to all our properties, are a result of our ongoing effort to proactively improve and enhance our OHS performance. After our facilities department earned ISO 45001 in 2019, we are excited to now see four new departments certified. Workplace safety is essential to the success of our operations and we are proud to see that our ever-expanding efforts to meet and exceed international standards are recognised."

ISO certifications are awarded by the London-based British Standards Institution (BSI) Group, the world's largest national standards and certification body, which audits and provides certification to companies worldwide who implement and comply with its management systems standards. The goal of ISO 45001 is the reduction of occupational injuries and diseases.

Sands China's other ISO certifications are:

• ISO 22000:2018 for its food safety management system
• ISO 45001:2018 for its occupational health and safety management system
• ISO 9001:2015 for the quality management of its facilities department
• ISO 9001:2015 for the quality management system of its convention and exhibition services
• ISO 20121:2012 for its event sustainability management system
• ISO 22000:2005 for its food safety management system
