HEALTH , SAFET Y AND WEL L- BE I NG The physical and mental health of our TeamMembers, partners and guests is a key element of our People initiatives. We complement our rigorous safety practices by offering programs that promote overall well-being. AT A GL ANCE P I L L AR People APPROACH Health, Safety and Well-Being Health Protection Maintain stringent standards and protocols to ensure health and safety Wellness Provide services to support the well-being of our guests To address COVID-19 border restrictions and health concerns, Sands China launched Macao’s first hybrid meeting space for clients at The Londoner Macao. Similar to the hybrid broadcast studio Marina Bay Sands launched in 2020, the new extended reality studio, Smart Stage, offers professional, broadcast-quality live-streaming and hologram functionality to create engaging events and experiences that allow meeting and convention presenters to safely conduct events in virtual, hybrid or in-person formats. Wellness: In Singapore, the Sands Expo and Convention Centre at Marina Bay Sands became Asia’s first facility to receive Healthy Venue Gold accreditation from the World Obesity Federation, a leading partner on obesity issues for global agencies, including the World Health Organization. Sands Expo is prioritizing healthier food, activities and workplace practices, allowing meetings, incentives, conferences and exhibitions (MICE) clients to take advantage of menus that use 30% less oil, sugar and salt, as well as low-sugar and low-fat options; free drinking water at hydration stations; spaces for standing meetings; fitness and relaxation sessions; and outdoor activities incorporated into event programming. At a foundational level, we are committed to exceeding legal obligations and fulfilling other health and safety requirements, such as ISO 45001 certification with robust management systems across our portfolio. Health and safety considerations are fully integrated into business practices and company culture so that we maintain a risk-based approach, while striving to continually improve performance. In 2022, circumstances varied in our regions, as Singapore eased pandemic restrictions, while Macao properties dealt with a mid-year closure and periodic service limitations to comply with government mandates around COVID-19 resurgences. As we look to 2023, we continue to evaluate key health and safety learnings from the pandemic and transform experiences for the overall health and well-being of everyone who enters our properties. Accomplishments Efforts in 2022 focused on pursuing certifications that uphold health and safety standards and expanding our wellness programming. Health Protection: Building on certifications received by various departments at Marina Bay Sands and Sands China, the occupational safety and health (OSH) management system of the food and beverage department at Marina Bay Sands obtained ISO 45001 certification. In total, 97% of Team Members are covered by an OSH management system that is ISO certified. I NSP I R I NG MENTAL HEALTH AWARENESS THROUGH ART In 2022, Marina Bay Sands’ ArtScience Museum hosted MENTAL: The Colours of Wellbeing, an interactive exhibition featuring 24 art projects and large-scale installations that invited visitors to reflect on what mental health means to them. Featuring work by contemporary artists, scientists, makers and designers from around the world, along with seven installations by local and regional artists, the art extravaganza explored mental health from a uniquely Southeast Asian perspective. MENTAL was co-curated with Science Gallery Melbourne and culminated the museum’s Season of Mental Wellbeing, a yearlong series of exhibitions, education activities and public programs that raised awareness about mental health through workshops, talks, films, dropin activities and masterclasses. The series celebrated the spectrum of mental well-being by creating a space of joy, empathy and care; encouraging visitors and program participants to tune into their inner well-being; and inspiring open discussion of mental health issues. 2022 ESG REPORT 28
