Priorities
Targets
Sands ECO360 is aligned with internationally recognized frameworks such as the United Nations Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs), with a specific focus on the objectives most relevant to our operations in the areas of energy, water and waste.
SDG 6: Clean Water and Sanitation
Water is integral to the experience we provide for our guests, and we balance luxury with responsibility. We utilize nonpotable water sources whenever possible to cool our towers and for landscaping and fountains. We also continually explore innovative water technologies and implement water conservation procedures.
SDG 7: Affordable and Clean Energy
Our resorts comprise millions of square feet in building space, requiring energy to heat, cool and operate. Since 2016, we have implemented more than 250 projects to reduce electricity and natural gas consumption as well as greenhouse gas emissions.
SDG 12: Responsible Consumption and Production
Every day, thousands of visitors enjoy the benefits of our resorts. By diligently targeting ways to eliminate waste, reuse, replace and recycle, we proactively manage our company’s waste output.
SDG 14: Life Below Water
From protecting waterways near our resorts to prioritizing procurement of sustainable seafood options, we are focused on preserving water ecosystems through region-specific strategies that are guided by international standards and in partnership with leading nongovernmental organizations.
Our Program: Sands ECO360
Our responsibility to the planet is as important to us as our commitment to the comfort and well-being of our guests and Team Members. Sands ECO360 works to minimize our environmental impact and reflects our vision to lead in environmental stewardship through three key initiatives.
Building Design and Development
Sustainability is built into our resorts from start to finish. We begin with smart design and integrate technology to reduce future impact in operations. Throughout construction, we implement practices that preserve resources and mitigate harm to the local ecology. Our approach incorporates sustainability into the entirety of our buildings’ life cycles.
Resort Management and Operations
The heart of our environmental strategy focuses on establishing responsible practices that drive efficiency. We accomplish this objective by continually enhancing our processes, incorporating the latest technologies and leveraging sustainability best practices to improve performance, all with seamless integration to ensure an exceptional guest experience.
Meetings, Events and Entertainment
Shaping modern meetings, events and entertainment offerings means curating experiences with environmental responsibility, wellness and community engagement in mind. Our holistic approach integrates these principles into planning and execution to ensure we incorporate sustainability every step of the way.
