Las Vegas Sands and Sands China Stand Out With Dow Jones Sustainability Indices

Las Vegas Sands Corp., the New York Stock Exchange (NYSE)-listed casino operator, was once again honored with Dow Jones Sustainability Indices (DJSI). For the fifth year in a row, the company earned placement on DJSI World and DJSI North America.

Sands China Ltd., its Asian subsidiary, was also recognized in DJSI World and DJSI Asia Pacific for the third consecutive year. These accolades signify significant achievement in the operators’ commitment to high-quality environmental, social, and governance (ESG) standards.

Maintained Excellence in a Cut-Throat Category

Las Vegas Sands and Sands China were the only companies out of 18 to secure a position on DJSI World this year. Sands is also the only entity in the Casino and Gaming category participating on DJSI North America, while Sands China is one of two in the Casino and Gaming category included on the DJSI Asia Pacific index.

DJSI World undertakes a rigorous selection process through the Corporate Sustainability Assessment when choosing participants. The index represents the leading 10% of the largest 2,500 companies listed on the S&P Global Broad Market Index (BMI). These companies are determined based on long-term economic, environmental, and social standards.

Sands President and Chief Operating Officer Patrick Dumont applauded the operator’s continued efforts, stating, “Our recognition on this premier global sustainability benchmark, following our recent inclusion as one of Newsweek’s America’s Most Responsible Companies, underscores the impact of our corporate responsibility initiatives and ESG leadership.”

Setting the Bar High

Las Vegas Sands applies industry benchmarks like S&P Global Corporate Sustainability Assessment to establish corporate responsibility initiatives and ESG targets. These efforts have earned the company recognition through DJSI and other prestigious rankings.

Sands has three main pillars driving its corporate responsibility during its 2021-2025 ESG reporting cycle – People, Communities, and Planet. The casino operator will update its 2024 progress in its following ESG report to be released in Spring 2025.
