Melco Resorts & Entertainment has been recognized by the 2019 Sustainable Business Awards (SBA) Philippines for its energy management and employee development performance.
At a ceremony held in Makati last week, Melco was honored for its talent development program in both Manila and Macau, as well as its efforts to tackle climate change through energy efficiency initiatives at City of Dreams Manila.
The SBA recognizes companies that take a proactive role in tackling social, governance and environmental issues, ranging from climate change to making local communities more inclusive and sustainable. Companies are assessed via an extensive methodology to arrive at scores for both process and performance in 12 different categories.
Melco received recognition in two categories in 2019, with its workforce development program embracing a holistic “Whole Person Development” training approach, empowering its employees to have a generalist career path beyond a technical or functional-only focus and more towards their personal growth. The company’s climate change initiatives include setting the goal of achieving carbon neutrality in its operations, improving energy efficiency and optimizing its building management system to track energy use at City of Dreams Manila.
“We appreciate SBA’s recognition for all our efforts at Melco and City of Dreams Manila,” said Melco Resorts Chairman and CEO Lawrence Ho.
“We value our employees’ career development and that is what motivates us to provide a nurturing environment for talent throughout our company. Being socially responsible and being a good steward to our environment are key priorities for Melco and we aim to go above and beyond in our social, environmental and governance commitments in all our operations worldwide.”
