LAS VEGAS, Jan. 19, 2018 /PRNewswire/ -- Repeating last
year's appearance on the preeminent list of global corporate
leaders, Las Vegas Sands (NYSE: LVS) has been named one of the
"World's Most Admired Companies" in Fortune's annual
roundup of the world's most respected and reputable
businesses, as judged by industry peers, analysts and leaders on
criteria including innovation, people management and social
responsibility.
"We are honored to again earn this recognition from Fortune and
especially the respect that it means from our key stakeholders,"
said Sheldon G. Adelson, chairman
and chief executive officer of Las Vegas Sands. "This past
year, we have had much to celebrate – from the 10-year anniversary
of our anchor property on the Cotai Strip, The Venetian Macao, to
successfully establishing the next phase of our five-year
sustainability goals for Sands ECO 360.
"We've also faced immense challenges in our communities with the
destruction caused by Typhoon Hato in Macao and the horrific mass shooting in
Las Vegas. Through it all our
dedicated Team Members around the globe not only maintained the
highest level of service for our guests and continued to execute on
our strategies and initiatives, but they also rose to the occasion
for our communities as part of Sands Cares' response in the face of
these terrible events. They are the reason we are again
joining this prestigious list of global leaders."
Las Vegas Sands is the world's most valuable gaming company and
the largest global developer and operator of world-class Integrated
Resorts serving both the business and leisure tourism
markets. Las Vegas Sands pioneered the convention-based
Integrated Resort model, which combines state-of-the-art meeting
and convention facilities with luxury hotel rooms and suites,
gaming, expansive retail offerings, celebrity-chef restaurants,
live entertainment and a wide-range of other attractions and
offerings.
"When Sheldon Adelson founded this company he set out with a
vision for how the best of the gaming and hospitality industry
could be intertwined with the meetings and convention industry,"
Rob Goldstein, president and chief
operating officer of Las Vegas Sands, said. "Becoming one of the
World's Most Admired Companies might not have been his first
priority, but it certainly is proof of how we are executing on his
incredible vision with unwavering attention to the values of
innovation, strong business performance and committed social
responsibility that he established for our company."
To develop the "World's Most Admired Companies" list,
Fortune collaborated with partner Korn Ferry Hay Group to
create the elite group from a starting base of 1,500 candidates,
which included the 1,000 largest U.S. companies ranked by revenue
along with the non-U.S companies in Fortune's Global 500 database
that have revenues of $10 billion or
more. Korn Ferry Hay Group then surveyed executives, directors and
analysts to rate companies in their own industry on nine criteria,
from investment value to the ability to attract talent. To be
listed, a company's score must rank in the top half of its
industry.
