3,300 volunteers
Sands China launched the Sands Cares Ambassador Program in August 2009, making itself the first integrated resort operator in Macao to establish a volunteer team. The program provides team members with a platform to serve the local community through organising various community activities and engaging in volunteer services. More than 3,300 team members are Sands Cares Ambassadors, with the program having organised over 650 voluntary activities for them, totalling over 310,000 volunteer service hours to date.
Aiding the community after disasters
During the pandemic, Sands China allocated resources to various pandemic relief efforts, including donating essential supplies to the local community and offering the Sheraton Grand Macao and The Parisian Macao as medical observation hotels. Furthermore, the company fully supported the government’s city-wide nucleic acid testing drives during critical times, working with all sectors of society to safeguard Macao together. Sands China team members supported local pandemic relief with a total of 7.5 million service hours.
Elderly outreach service
Around 200 Sands Cares Ambassadors and the company’s senior management team bring Chinese New Year gift packs to live-alone elderly each year. The volunteers also provide haircutting services and simple maintenance work.
