LAS VEGAS, Sept. 13, 2018 /PRNewswire/ -- Las Vegas
Sands Corp. (NYSE: LVS) has once again been recognized by the Dow
Jones Sustainability Indices (DJSI) for its industry-leading
corporate sustainability efforts. Sands is the only Integrated
Resort company included on the DJSI North America.
"This designation speaks to our commitment to continually
strengthening our corporate social responsibility performance, as
well as maintaining our drive toward positive business impact in
the regions we serve," said Robert
Goldstein, president and chief operating officer of Las
Vegas Sands. "We are honored to be a leader not only among
Integrated Resort companies, but among this outstanding group of
peers who are demonstrating that sustainable business performance
is a top priority."
The DJSI is one of the most highly recognized indices for
corporate sustainability. A record 993 companies participated
in this year's Corporate Sustainability Assessment (CSA), and the
Dow Jones Sustainability North America Index tracks the performance
of the top 20 percent of the 600 largest Canadian and U.S.
companies in the S&P Global Broad Market Index based on several
economic, social and environmental criteria.
Sands drives its People, Planet and Communities corporate social
responsibility platform through programs including the Sands ECO360
global sustainability program; the Sands Cares corporate giving and
community engagement program, the Project Protect initiative
focused on responsible gaming, anti-money laundering and human
trafficking prevention practices; and Sands Academy, a global Team
Member development program. In addition, the company has a
strong track record in sustainable business performance through the
economic value and social impact it has delivered as part of its
commitment to making the regions it serves better places to live
and work.
Earlier this year, Fortune named Sands one of the
"World's Most Admired Companies" in its annual roundup of the
world's most respected and reputable businesses, and Forbes
named Sands as one of America's Best Employers based on an
independent survey of more than 30,000 employees working for
companies with at least 1,000 people within their U.S.
operations.
