Melco remains Macau’s first and only company to

commitment from companies in the tourism industry that comply with
the rigorous environmental management standards as laid out by the

in Macau have been honored with the esteemed Green Key standard,
recognizing the Company’s strategic commitment to making our
entertainment and luxury hospitality offerings sustainable,
positive and rewarding for all those involved. We will continue to
advance the detailed, data-driven understanding of our impact,
alongside our range of programs and targets to further unlock
Melco’s huge potential as a force for good; to do well in the
places where our guests, colleagues and other stakeholders live,
work and play, in Macau and beyond.”
Launched in Denmark in 1994, the Green Key
standard honors establishments’ promises to guests in their
dedication to making a positive environmental difference. The
standards expected of hotels are maintained through rigorous
documentation and frequent audits. To date, 3,000 establishments in
