Our CSR Pillars

Our People

We are committed to creating a positive work environment for our Team Members that promotes advancement and professional success.

Finally, our commitment to people extends to supporting aspiring professionals in the hospitality industry through a range of training opportunities, educational partnerships and financial support that help shape our industry's future.

Las Vegas Sands’ properties located around the world have made significant economic contributions to improve the quality of life in the communities where we operate. We magnify that impact through philanthropic gifts, partnerships and volunteerism for local organizations that help make our communities better places to live.

Las Vegas Sands is committed to reducing its environmental impact on the planet. We have become a leader in sustainable building development and resort operations, exemplified by our award-winning Sands ECO360 Global Sustainability Program. We share this expertise through strategic initiatives and partnerships that advance sustainability practices in our communities.

We delivered on our core pillars of People, Communities and Planet, with dedicated programs that made impact internally with our Team Members and externally in the hospitality industry, in the regions where we operate and in our quest to reduce impact on the environment. Evidence of the success of our work
