LAS VEGAS, Dec. 14, 2021 /PRNewswire/ -- Las Vegas Sands
(NYSE: LVS) has been recognized by global environmental nonprofit
CDP on its 2021 Climate and Water A Lists, marking consecutive
appearance on the Climate A List for the seventh year and the Water
A List for the fourth year.
Inclusion on CDP's Climate A and Water A Lists puts Sands among
55 companies who received an "A" designation on both lists, out of
the 12,000 companies that were scored in 2021. Sands was the only
hospitality and gaming company recognized with an "A" designation
on both lists, highlighting the company's leadership in reducing
emissions, mitigating climate risk, promoting water efficiency and
conservation, and building environmentally responsible Integrated
Resorts.
"Addressing climate change by transitioning to low-carbon
solutions and advancing water stewardship initiatives are among our
top sustainability priorities," said Katarina Tesarova, senior vice
president and chief sustainability officer. "Our repeat appearance
on the prestigious CDP A Lists speaks to our industry-leading
performance in addressing emerging trends and incorporating the
latest technologies and practices, as part of our long-term
commitment to continuous evolution as an environmentally
responsible company."
Led by the Sands ECO360 global sustainability program, Sands'
global environmental initiatives target five priority topics:
low-carbon transition, water stewardship, waste, plastic and
packaging, and responsible sourcing. Sands annually reports its
goals, progress and accomplishments toward environmental targets
set for these areas in the Sands Environmental, Social and
Governance (ESG) Report.
The Climate and Water A List designations follow the company's
recent recognition on the Dow Jones Sustainability World and North
America Indices (DJSI), which marked Sands' second appearance on
the World Index. Sands was the only U.S.-based hospitality and
gaming company recognized by both DJSI World and North America in 2021.
CDP's annual environmental disclosure and scoring process is
widely recognized as the gold standard of corporate environmental
transparency. In 2021, more than 590 investors with more than
US$110 trillion in assets and 200
major purchasers with US$5.5 trillion
in procurement spend requested companies to disclose data on
environmental impacts, risks and opportunities through CDP's
platform.
