Melco receives sustainability awards in the Philippines

Melco Resorts & Entertainment Limited has won the 2019 Sustainable Business Awards (SBA) Philippines for energy and employee sustainability.

The SBA, Asia’s leading sustainable awards since 2012, recognizes companies that are proactive in tackling social, governance and environmental issues.

Melco has received special recognition for its workforce development program, which embraces a holistic “Whole Person Development” training approach. They empower employees to have a generalist career path beyond technical or function-only focuses and focus on their personal growth.

The company was also recognized for its efforts in tackling climate change, efforts which include their goal to achieve carbon neutral operations, improving energy efficiency and optimizing the building management system to track energy use at City of Dreams Manila.

Lawrence Ho, chairman and CEO at Melco said, “We appreciate SBA’s recognition. We value our employees’ career development and that is what motivates us to provide a nurturing environment. Meanwhile, being socially responsible and being a good steward to our environment are key priorities for Melco.”
