Sands China has solidified its position as a global leader in corporate social responsibility after earning Top 1% rankings in the Corporate Sustainability Assessment (CSA) scores of the S&P Global Sustainability Yearbook 2026 for both its Global and China editions.
The integrated resort operator also secured the prestigious “Industry Mover” distinction in the China edition for the second consecutive year, making Sands China the only integrated tourism and leisure enterprise worldwide to secure all three accolades this year.
S&P Global’s Sustainability Yearbook is one of the world’s premier benchmarks for corporate environmental, social, and governance (ESG) performance. For the 2026 China edition, S&P Global evaluated nearly 1,800 companies across mainland China, Hong Kong, and Macao, selecting only 193 for yearbook inclusion.
Sands China emerged in the elite Top 1% tier of just 36 companies, marking its fourth consecutive year at this level. On the global stage, which evaluated over 9,200 entities, the gaming operator ranked among the 71 companies that earned a Top 1% score.
“Sustainability is the cornerstone of corporate resilience and long-term development,” said Grant Chum, Chief Executive Officer and Executive Director of Sands China Ltd. “We are very honoured to be once again ranked in the Top 1% in both the Global and China editions. These recognitions fully affirm our continued investment and achievements in innovation and long-term planning.”
To achieve the “Industry Mover” title, a company must achieve the strongest ESG score improvement in its sector, including a minimum 5% year-over-year jump. Sands China surpassed this threshold, elevating its CSA score by more than 6% over the past year.
