1 Amodel is used to estimate water consumption and discharge based off total purchased water. Prior to 2021, all sources of water were included. 2 Approximately 93% of discharge is sent to municipality. 3 High-stress regions are those classified by the World Resources Institute’s Water Risk Atlas tool, Aqueduct, as High or Extremely High Baseline Water Stress. 4 NEWater is ultra-clean, high-grade recycled water.

In 2022, visitation levels continued to decline in Macao, while increasing in Singapore. Ongoing efficiency and waterdiversification projects also contributed to decreases. Our 2025 target was set against a pre-pandemic baseline and with the expectation that business will rebound to normal levels. 49 36 35 31 51 Water Use By Source (Million Gallons) Nonpotable water 21 Rainwater 2 Condensate capture 9 NEWater4 11 Potable municipal water 1,604 TOTAL WATER USE 1 , 624 M I L L I ON GAL LONS 2025 Target: 3% decrease in potable water use per sq. ft. from 2019 % Performance from baseline: -31% 2021 2022 2020 2019 (Baseline) 2018 Target APPENDIX GOVERNANCE SOCIAL ENVIRONMENT OUR PERFORMANCE INTRODUCTION OUR STRATEGY 65 CLOSING
