Sands China is honoured to be considered among the nominees for the Best Corporate Social Responsibility Contribution award in the G2E Asia Awards 2019.
We believe that being a responsible corporate citizen comprises many facets, such as volunteering, sustainable operations, and offering financial support to the community, among many others.
Our CSR initiatives include the Sands Cares Ambassador volunteering programme, the Sands China Community Academy, charitable contributions, scholarships and fellowships, support of the arts and cultural development, responsible gaming, environmentally sustainable operations, talent development, and disaster relief.
Sands China considers corporate social responsibility to be a critical component of how we operate our business, and it lies at the heart of our corporate culture of service – which encourages the shared cultural values of friendliness, professionalism, active listening and teamwork.
These qualities, when internalised, find expression not only in team members’ daily interactions with guests and with each other, but extend outside the workplace as well – for example, in the volunteering work offered by team members, whether on their own initiative or through our Sands Cares programme.
As an example, one such volunteer shared how she has found that people in need sometimes simply want a friendly, listening ear – someone to express their needs to. She explains that volunteering has taught her that through listening attentively, we can learn how best to support, help and encourage one another.
Examples like this showcase some of the best qualities of the human spirit, and demonstrate our capacity for service – helping us make a difference in our communities and in the lives of the people we interact with.
We hope our team members are inspired to value service in all aspects of their lives, by the example set by the company, and by the examples they set for each other.
