Las Vegas Sands Employees Decide On Company Charitable Work
Las Vegas Sands Corp., the world's largest gambling company, recently decided to revise its internal policies to allow employees to have a say in how they use the company's resources for community philanthropy. Casinos around the world tend to adopt policies that raise funds for NGOs and charities or donate significant amounts of money each year as part of an effort to give back to society and help their cities benefit from their operations.
The management decided that Sands employees spread across many international locations, such as Singapore, Macao, and Bethlehem, PA, would have the best understanding of what they lacked in their communities and how Sands community philanthropy could address these issues. 슬롯
Sands China staff helped prepare for the Chinese New Year, the biggest festival in China, with older residents of Macau. Marina Bay Sands staff invested more than 2,000 hours of community service and helped various charities and NGOs in Singapore. Sands Corp helped organize an event where former captain and English football star David Beckham visited Macau and participated as part of a football program for teenagers. Staff at Sands Bethlehem in Pacasino have been working with the adopted school for the past seven years.
The Sands Cares program was implemented in 2014 with the aim of making a difference in the lives of "people, communities, and the planet." Sheldon Adelson, chairman of Las Vegas Sands, said he was satisfied with the program and felt very satisfied with his staff giving back to society and solving problems close to their hearts. Adelson said in a statement, "Our team members around the world have also been the driving force behind Sands Care, dedicating their time, effort, and passion to various purposes and organizations. Our team members led by example. They volunteered their time."
With more than 45,000 employees worldwide, SandsCorp also makes significant financial contributions. The company partnered with "Clean the World" to donate $1 million to help distribute hygiene products to 96 countries to help fight diseases caused by poor hygiene. The company also donated $7 million to the William F. Harrah College of Hotel Administration, located at the University of Nevada, Las Vegas.
