Las Vegas Sands Named to the Dow Jones Sustainability World Index

The Las Vegas Sands has been named to the Dow Jones Sustainability Indices (DJSI) for the 2nd year in a row.

Las Vegas Sands is a leading developer and operator of world-class Integrated Resorts. 

DJSI World contains the top 10% of more than 3,400 companies analyzed for the 2021 S&P Global Corporate Sustainability Assessment, which measures companies on financially relevant sustainability criteria across economic, environmental and social dimensions.

Sands was the only U.S.-based hospitality and gaming company included on DJSI World.

Sands ranked in the 100^th percentile in the Social Dimension category among industry peers, driven by the company's emphasis on being the employer and partner of choice in regions served, strategic community investment in promoting regional resiliency and strength, and continued focus on transparency through expanded disclosures and external assurance of the annual Sands Environmental, Social and Governance (ESG) Report.

"Our repeat placements on the foremost global sustainability benchmark speak to our long-standing commitment to environmental and social leadership, along with the economic vitality that our world-class integrated resorts contribute to our host regions," said Patrick Dumont, president and chief operating officer. "Over this past year, we've further enhanced our corporate citizenship initiatives as part of our dedication to continuous progress, particularly in the areas of diversity, equity and inclusion, and local business and workforce development. Combined with our flagship Sands ECO360 global sustainability and Sands Cares community engagement programs, we are well-positioned to deliver significant benefit to the regions we serve." 

The global Sands Cares community engagement program leads its Community pillar and drives efforts to solve pressing issues, create resiliency and maximize the inherent strengths of regions served. Sands works to ensure the long-term environmental health of its regions through the Planet pillar, led by the Sands ECO360 global sustainability program, which drives initiatives addressing low-carbon transition, water stewardship, waste, plastic and packaging, and responsible sourcing.
