corporate social responsibility technical

"The initiative underscores Sands' long-standing commitment to corporate social responsibility"

Corporate social responsibility is a company’s voluntary efforts to operate in ways that are good for society and the environment, such as reducing pollution, treating workers fairly, and supporting communities. Investors care because these choices can act like maintenance on a house—reducing legal, reputation and operational risks, attracting customers and employees, and sometimes improving long-term returns or share value compared with companies that ignore those responsibilities.

NGO regulatory

"were sourced from the local NGO Fuhong Society of Macau"

An NGO is an independent organization that operates separately from governments to pursue social, environmental, humanitarian, or advocacy goals; think of it like a neighborhood group or charity scaled up and focused on public causes. Investors care because NGOs can influence public opinion, regulation, supply chains and corporate reputation—so their campaigns, reports or partnerships can affect a company’s sales, costs, legal risks and long-term value.

social enterprises technical

"and provides employment opportunities for persons with disabilities through social enterprises"

Organizations structured as businesses that combine making money with pursuing a specific social or environmental goal, often reinvesting profits to further that mission rather than maximizing returns for shareholders. Investors care because these firms can attract loyal customers, qualify for favorable public support, and appeal to people seeking both financial return and measurable social impact, but they may follow different growth and profit patterns than conventional companies.

Senior management joins hands with team members to serve the Macao community through "Sands Cares" spirit

MACAO, Feb. 10, 2026 /PRNewswire/ -- Chinese New Year is one of the most cherished festivals across Chinese communities worldwide. Each year, as Sands China joins global visitors in celebrating the season, it is the company's tradition to turn festive blessings into meaningful actions – bringing care, warmth, and goodwill into the community.

As the Year of the Horse draws close, senior management from Las Vegas Sands and Sands China gathered in Macao to lead by example, bringing the Sands Cares spirit of community service to life as they joined team members in the annual Sands Cares Spring Celebrations with the Community. The initiative underscores Sands' long-standing commitment to corporate social responsibility across its operating regions, not only translating festive joy into community support, but also reflecting its deep respect for Chinese culture.

During an activity on Feb. 3, Patrick Dumont, president and chief operating officer of Las Vegas Sands, together with the senior management team, joined with 300 participants, including Sands China team members from across 20 departments and Sands Cares Ambassadors. Guided by the shared spirit of Sands Cares, participants prepared Lunar New Year gift packs and handwritten festive spring couplets. Together, they packaged more than 20,000 staple foods and essential items, assembling 2,000 Lunar New Year gift packs, each filled with care and well wishes for the community.

Sands China's commitment to community also extends to supporting local small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs). Dumont and senior management paid a visit to Rua das Estalagens, offering early New Year greetings to enterprises participating in Sands China's Entrepreneurship Recruitment Programme for Rua das Estalagens, engaging directly with business owners and wishing them continued success in the year ahead.

To further support the growth of local social service organisations, all items within the gift packs packaged on Feb. 3, including cooking oil, rice, healthy noodles, cleaning supplies, and handwritten spring couplets, were sourced from the local NGO Fuhong Society of Macau. The gift packs were delivered by Sands Cares Ambassadors to elderly users of the Peng On Tung service and individuals in need, ensuring that every gesture of "Sands Cares" truly reaches both hands and hearts.

Dumont and members of the senior management team also took part in local New Year customs by learning to write traditional spring couplets, gaining first-hand appreciation of the cultural significance and auspicious meanings associated with the Chinese character Fu (福). During the activity, they also extended festive greetings to team members and volunteers in both Cantonese and Mandarin, creating a joyful atmosphere filled with laughter and warmth, while embracing Sands' long-standing commitment to community and Macao's rich Chinese cultural heritage.

Dumont and team expressed pride in Sands China's role as a dedicated employer and responsible corporate citizen. They also commended Sands China's volunteer team for its long-term dedication and enthusiasm, encouraging more team members to take part in volunteer programmes and help extend further care to the Macao community.

The Sands Cares Ambassador volunteer team was established as Macao's first corporate volunteer team within the industry. To date, more than 4,000 team members have participated, contributing over 360,000 cumulative volunteer hours. In the past year alone, the team organised an average of up to four community care activities per week, building strong, long-term partnerships through consistent and heartfelt service.

Now a nearly two-decade tradition, the "Sands Cares Spring Celebrations with the Community" event features broader participation and richer cultural exchange this year. In collaboration with various social service partners including the Peng On Tung Tele-Assistance Service Centre under the General Union of Neighbourhood Associations of Macau, the Fuhong Society of Macau, the "Corner of Portuguese Cuisine" training restaurant, and the Everyone Stray Dogs Macau Volunteer Group, the initiative delivers a total of 2,000 Chinese New Year festive kits, 1,000 meal boxes, visits to 200 elderly individuals living alone, and provides employment opportunities for persons with disabilities through social enterprises — allowing care and blessings to circulate throughout the community.

Through thoughtful action, practical support, and genuine engagement, Sands China continues to live out the Sands Cares spirit, strengthening its partnership with Macao and working hand in hand with the community to build a more caring, inclusive society.

The Sands Cares Spring Celebration with the Community and other community initiatives are part of the Sands Cares global corporate citizenship programme. Over the years, the programme has introduced numerous initiatives to give back to society, actively collaborating with local charities and social service organisations to build a better, more harmonious, and inclusive Macao.
