Sands China observes Earth Hour for 14th straight year

Sands China Ltd. observed Earth Hour 2022 at its properties Saturday, turning off exterior lights and non-essential indoor lights for one hour in support of the annual global event. It is the company’s 14th straight year joining businesses and individuals around the world in the lights-off activity, with all Sands China properties taking part.

Sean McCreery, senior vice president of resort operations for Sands China Ltd., said, “Raising consciousness is a crucial first step in prompting people to take action against climate change, and Earth Hour remains one of the most visible global initiatives in that regard.”

“Besides the very real effects of reducing energy consumption, Earth Hour, along with our properties’ monthly observances, are an important reminder that all of us have a significant role to play in living and promoting an eco-friendly lifestyle and operating environmentally responsible businesses,” he added. 

Besides participating in Earth Hour, Sands China has been taking the initiative since 2013 to observe Earth Hour each month. The company’s resorts turn off exterior lights, signage and marquees for one hour on the first Tuesday of each month.

Since 2019, Sands China’s varied sustainability measures have resulted in 26 Million kWh of annualized energy savings to date.
