MGM Macau has been awarded the “Macao Green Hotel Award” Gold Status by the Environmental Protection Bureau for its commitment to environmental protection.
The award was launched in 2007 and aims to raise awareness of the importance of environmental management in Macau’s hotel industry, and also provides a platform for showcasing efforts, learning and collaboration. The Award is presented by the Environmental Protection Bureau and co-organized by the Macau Government Tourist Office.
MGM recently established a Green Team, which includes representatives from across internal departments, to help find better and smarter solutions to improve the hotel environmental performance and put employees in the driving seat of moving the objectives forward.
Mr Grant Bowie, Chief Executive Officer and Executive Director of MGM China Holdings Limited, said, “Since we opened our doors in 2007, we have worked hard to continually integrate environmental considerations into all operational practices, believing that an environmentally-responsible business is a better business. We are therefore immensely proud to be a recipient of this esteemed award. Through our Sustainability Vision, Creating a Better Tomorrow Today, we are committed to safeguarding the future for all, by investing in the environmental, social and economic protection of Macau”.
david beckham visits mso athletes and sands china team members
UNICEF Goodwill Ambassador David Beckham was back in town over the weekend, and spent time Saturday afternoon with members of Macau Special Olympics (MSO) at The Venetian, after a meet-and-greet event with Sands China team members.
The MSO athletes presented Beckham with a special T-shirt they had decorated with their own handmade design. The global icon returned the gesture by signing a Macau Special Olympics t-shirt and presenting it to MSO as a memento of the occasion. He also took the opportunity to chat with the MSO members, offering words of encouragement to the athletes, before joining them for a group photo to commemorate the visit.
Before spending time with the MSO athletes, Beckham met with around 100 Sands China team members, who asked the entrepreneur to share his thoughts about service culture and teamwork. Many of the attendees were winners in previous editions of “Because We Care Team Member Awards” and “Because We Know” company knowledge competitions. Beckham and the team members then marked the occasion with a group photo.
