Sands China Ltd has been recognised for its exceptional Environmental, Social, and Governance (ESG) practices, marking its sixth consecutive year in the Dow Jones Best-in-Class (DJBIC) Asia Pacific Index and fifth in the World Index.
This achievement underscores Sands China's unique position as the only integrated resort operator globally to be listed in both indices.
The 2026 assessment saw 16 integrated resort operators invited, with only Sands China and its parent company, Las Vegas Sands Corp, making the World Index. Las Vegas Sands Corp also secured its place in the World and North America indices for the seventh year, highlighting the group's robust ESG management.
Chief Executive Officer Grant Chum expressed pride in the dual listing, stating, "This accolade is an encouraging high-level international endorsement of our outstanding ESG performance." Sands China has embedded ESG principles into its operations for over two decades, focusing on local talent development, community inclusion, and supporting small and medium enterprises (SMEs).
Under its People pillar, Sands China Academy provided 18 million training hours to local employees by the end of 2025. The Community pillar saw the Sands Cares Ambassador Programme contribute over 362,000 community service hours. The Planet pillar achieved a 61% reduction in greenhouse gas emissions from 2018 levels, earning a renewal of the ISO 14001 certification.
The Dow Jones Best-in-Class Indices, launched in 1999, are a benchmark for corporate sustainability, assessing over 12,000 companies worldwide. Sands China's continued presence in these indices reflects its commitment to sustainable development and corporate social responsibility
