DESCRIPTION:

LAS VEGAS, December 14, 2021 /3BL Media/ – Las Vegas Sands (NYSE: LVS) has been recognized by global environmental nonprofit CDP on its 2021 Climate and Water A Lists, marking consecutive appearance on the Climate A List for the seventh year and the Water A List for the fourth year.

Inclusion on CDP’s Climate A and Water A Lists puts Sands among 55 companies who received an “A” designation on both lists, out of the 12,000 companies that were scored in 2021. Sands was the only hospitality and gaming company recognized with an “A” designation on both lists, highlighting the company’s leadership in reducing emissions, mitigating climate risk, promoting water efficiency and conservation, and building environmentally responsible Integrated Resorts. 

“Addressing climate change by transitioning to low-carbon solutions and advancing water stewardship initiatives are among our top sustainability priorities,” said Katarina Tesarova, senior vice president and chief sustainability officer. “Our repeat appearance on the prestigious CDP A Lists speaks to our industry-leading performance in addressing emerging trends and incorporating the latest technologies and practices, as part of our long-term commitment to continuous evolution as an environmentally responsible company.”

Led by the Sands ECO360 global sustainability program, Sands’ global environmental initiatives target five priority topics: low-carbon transition, water stewardship, waste, plastic and packaging, and responsible sourcing. Sands annually reports its goals, progress and accomplishments toward environmental targets set for these areas in the Sands Environmental, Social and Governance (ESG) Report.

The Climate and Water A List designations follow the company’s recent recognition on the Dow Jones Sustainability World and North America Indices (DJSI), which marked Sands’ second appearance on the World Index. Sands was the only U.S.-based hospitality and gaming company recognized by both DJSI World and North America in 2021.

CDP’s annual environmental disclosure and scoring process is widely recognized as the gold standard of corporate environmental transparency. In 2021, more than 590 investors with more than US$110 trillion in assets and 200 major purchasers with US$5.5 trillion in procurement spend requested companies to disclose data on environmental impacts, risks and opportunities through CDP’s platform.
