Over 330 tons of hotel amenities diverted from landfills by Sands China since 2014

MACAO,Oct. 24,2024 -- A total of 350 Sands China team members and local community group volunteers worked together to assemble more than 30,000 hygiene kits forinternational social enterprise Clean the Worldon Thursdayat The Venetian® Macao's Cotai Expo,marking the initiative's 11th consecutive year.

Officiating guests participate in the opening ceremony for Thursday’s hygiene kit build,including Dr. Wilfred Wong; Gyneth Tan,managing director of Clean the World Asia; Professor Karen Tagulao,Institute of Science and Environment of the University of Saint Joseph; Sr. Nelia M. Tubana,representative of Macau ECOnsious Association; Sylvia Wong,Director of Green Future; and Chan Lai Wan,Store Manager of Bosco Green Store of Bosco Youth Service Network; and other executives.

Sands Cares Ambassadors and other Sands China team members joined volunteers from four organisations for the service activity: local green enterprise Macau ECOnscious,Green Future,the Bosco Green Store of BoscoYouth Service Network,and the University of Saint Joseph. They worked together to build this year's hygiene kits,whose supplies are essential for good health and personal hygiene,and help prevent the spread of disease in populations in need around the globe. The completed kits will be distributed to 15 community groups,including the Philippines to provide families in need with critically needed hygiene supplies during natural disasters and other times of crisis,as well as distributed to NGO members in need in Hong Kong and Macao.

The hygiene kits contain soap that has been collected from Sands China's integrated resorts and then recycled and sterilised through Clean the World's remanufacturing process,giving new life to used hotel supplies. Each kit also comes with shampoo,conditioner,bath gel,toothbrush,toothpaste,and an encouraging message from Sands China and Clean the World.

In 2014,Sands China became the first integrated operator in Macao to launch this type of sustainability initiative. It is an initiative of Las Vegas Sands Corp. (LVS),and helps Clean the World distribute emergency response hygiene kits to assist with on-the-ground,immediate needs in times of crisis and disaster.

"It is a pleasure for Sands China to work with Clean the World to support global hygiene for 11 straight years now," said Dr. Wilfred Wong,executive vice chairman of Sands China Ltd. "This annual initiative is an important part of our commitment to address environment and community in our strategies. By working together,we believe we can contribute to helping our world become a better place and support people in need. Our gratitude goes to Clean the World,our team members,and our community partners who have cooperated with us over the years to make a difference in the lives of vulnerable communities,while recycling resources and practicing sustainability."

Shawn Seipler,founder and chief executive officer of Clean the World,said: "I am thrilled that Sands China has accomplished the incredible goal of building 30,000 hygiene kits in one day,bringing their total to an astounding 385,700 kits since we began our partnership in 2014. This milestone reflects Sands' unwavering dedication to improving global health through hygiene and sanitation. Their commitment over the years has made a real difference in the lives of countless individuals,and I couldn't be more pleased with what we've achieved together. I look forward to continuing this impactful partnership and reaching even greater heights in the future."

Sands China's support of Clean the World is part of Sands Cares,the global corporate citizenship programme of Las Vegas Sands Corp.,and the Sands ECO360 global sustainability strategy.
