Corporate bits | MGM Cotai receives award from China green building

The China Green Building and Energy Saving (Macau) Association have awarded MGM China Holdings Ltd. a two-star certification under the China Green Building (Macau) Design Label for its second resort in Macau, the MGM Cotai.
Set to open in early 2017, MGM Cotai is reportedly the largest property in Macau to achieve this certification and  is also the first private-sector project to be recognized by the association.
MGM Macau said its pursuit of a local green building certification is in line with MGM China’s efforts to realize its global vision for green business in a manner relevant to the peninsula.
The China Green Building (Macau) Label evaluates projects in six key areas: land usage, energy, water, building materials, indoor environmental quality and operations and management.
The finished property will showcase numerous eco-design features that will holistically tie the company’s operations to environmental responsibility.
