MACAU, May 24, 2022 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Melco Resorts & Entertainment has published its fourth sustainability strategy RISE to go Above & Beyond (link).

Mr. Lawrence Ho, Chairman and CEO of Melco Resorts and Entertainment, said, “Melco has continued to rise beyond continuing pandemic challenges and in ways that have indeed accelerated our sustainability efforts in 2021. From colleagues to suppliers and partners, the Company is strengthening its actions to collectively address longer-term critical issues, including societal health, climate change and innovation.

  • Over US$2 million Get the Jab immunity incentive program for colleagues motivated more than 95% of its global workforce to get vaccinated.

  • Becoming the first and only integrated resort operator to achieve the esteemed responsible gaming (RG) accreditation, RG Check, across its global portfolio.

  • A comprehensive review of Melco’s operations and supply chain to establish a roadmap to decarbonization was launched, mapping out actions to help neutralize greenhouse gas emissions from business activities, together with a confirmed system to measure and transform data into actionable insights to empower change throughout the Company’s value chain.

  • The disclosure of Scope 3 emissions from two categories – Downstream Leased Assets and Fuel-and Energy-Related Activities (FERA) has been introduced in this year’s GHG reporting.

  • The continual success of Melco’s Simple Acts of Kindness initiative, which reached out to over 1,300 NGOs, associations, schools, nurseries, governmental departments and SMEs with the help of over 16,000 volunteer participants in 2021.

  • Over US$950,000 worth of additional revenue for local SMEs was generated in 2021 through Melco’s Heart-of-House Roadshows that provided rent-free space for SMEs to sell directly to Melco colleagues.

  • Studio City Phase 2 and City of Dreams Mediterranean were both recognized by the trusted mark of sustainability, BREEAM, with ‘Excellent’ environmental ratings at the design stage and a ‘Regional Award, Asia’ for Studio City Phase 2.
