Key Terms

wash, rainwater harvesting, water stewardship

3 terms

wash technical

"safe water, sanitation and hygiene (WASH) to the 4.2 billion people"

A "wash" is when a security is bought and sold in a way that leaves the economic position essentially unchanged, like swapping seats on the same bus. Investors might do this to lock in a tax loss, reset a holding, or to create misleading trading activity; regulators treat such trades differently because they can hide true ownership changes or distort market measures such as volume and price. It matters to investors because washes can affect tax outcomes, reporting and regulatory scrutiny.

rainwater harvesting technical

"installation of household rainwater harvesting and filtration systems"

Collection and storage of rainwater from roofs, paved areas, or catchments for later use, typically using gutters, tanks, or cisterns and basic filtration. It matters to investors because it can reduce a property or operation's water costs, improve resilience against shortages or restrictions, and affect capital and operating expenses and regulatory compliance for real estate, agriculture, and industrial projects—think of it like adding a backup water tank that lowers reliance on public supply.

water stewardship technical

"funding innovative water initiatives in Sands' regions through The Drop By Drop Project"

Water stewardship is a company’s measured approach to using, conserving and protecting water resources across its operations and supply chain, like a household that budgets, fixes leaks and shares resources so everyone has enough. Investors care because poor water practices can disrupt production, raise costs, trigger fines or damage reputation, while strong stewardship lowers operational risk, secures long‑term access to inputs and can signal better management and resilience.

Funding supports the company's 13 ^th hygiene kit build to benefit people facing hardships, grants to water champions in Sands' regions and the foundation's WASH programs.

LAS VEGAS, Aug. 4, 2026 /PRNewswire/ -- Las Vegas Sands (NYSE: LVS) has contributed $450,000 to The WASH Foundation, totaling more than $6.5 million in contributions since 2014 for the organization's efforts to bring safe water, sanitation and hygiene (WASH) to the 4.2 billion people globally who lack access to these resources.

The 2026 Sands Cares investment supports three foundational priorities: assembling and donating hygiene supplies for people facing hardships through the annual Sands Cares Global Hygiene Kit Build, funding innovative water initiatives in Sands' regions through The Drop By Drop Project and providing general funding for The WASH Foundation's programs to strengthen its organizational capacity.

"This year's contribution reflects something rare in corporate partnerships – after more than a decade, Sands' commitment to our mission has only deepened," Shawn Seipler, founder and CEO of Clean the World Global and chairman of The WASH Foundation board, said. "The 2026 Sands Cares investment touches every dimension of our work, from hygiene kits reaching families in crisis, to water stewardship in the company's home regions, to the operational backbone that lets us scale what works."

Sands was an early supporter of the foundation's WASH programs and its affiliate Clean the World's efforts to collect discarded hygiene amenities for recycling and distribution to vulnerable individuals and families. Over the course of the partnership, Sands, Clean the World and The WASH Foundation have diverted more than 667,000 pounds of waste from landfills and collaborated to distribute 4.6 million bars of soap to people in need.

Together, Sands and the foundation launched the annual Sands Cares Global Hygiene Kit Build with Clean the World in 2014, when the company also funded the transition of Clean the World's Las Vegas recycling center into a full soap manufacturing operation through a $1 million donation for both initiatives. Sands also provided seed funding for the foundation's launch of the Fresh Start WASH and Wellness Program, which offers mobile shower services to people facing homelessness. Another innovative collaboration is The Drop By Drop Project, which provides grants for water stewardship and conservation programs in Sands' operating regions of Macao and Singapore.

Continuing these long-standing priorities, the 2026 Sands Cares contribution to The WASH Foundation supports the following initiatives.

Global Hygiene Kit Build: In a series of builds in Macao, Singapore and Las Vegas, Sands Team Members will assemble 65,000 hygiene kits for distribution by The WASH Foundation to people facing hardships and crisis situations in these regions. The annual Sands Cares Global Hygiene Kit Build with Clean the World has yielded more than 1.1 million kits produced by Sands Team Members since 2014.

The Drop By Drop Project: The Sands Cares donation continues underwriting grants for Macao and Singapore projects that increase water resiliency, reinvigorate ecosystems, incubate new water solutions and engage the community in these areas.

In 2026, the program will support three impactful initiatives focused on sustainable water access, climate resilience and community restoration. Projects include the installation of household rainwater harvesting and filtration systems, innovative coastal ecosystem research programs, and the restoration of community spaces while strengthening local education, training and environmental monitoring efforts.

Capacity-Building Support: The third component of the Sands Cares funding is earmarked for capacity-building programs, operational needs and the foundation's annual gala, enabling the organization to maintain the infrastructure needed to effectively deliver, manage and scale WASH programs.

"Our WASH Foundation partnership continues to be a key Sands Cares priority as it's the only global nonprofit engagement in which all of our regions participate," Ron Reese, senior vice president of global communications and corporate affairs, said. "Over the years we've collaborated with the foundation to bring many important programs to our regions, with our annual kit build growing to be one of our top Team Member and community engagement initiatives. It's an important symbol of our culture of service around the world."
