Global casino operator Melco Resorts & Entertainment Ltd says it has been included in the S&P Sustainability Yearbook 2026, a benchmarking resource for corporate sustainability performance.
To be listed there, companies must score within the top 15 percent of their industry and must achieve a corporate sustainability assessment (CSA) score within 30 percent of their industry’s top-performing company.
Lawrence Ho Yau Lung, chairman and chief executive of Melco Resorts, was quoted as saying: “We strive to enhance our performance annually and acknowledge that the rigorous CSA assessment serves as a crucial benchmark for evaluating the impact we are creating in our key focus areas.”
Per the update, Melco Resorts has “consistently achieved a ‘B’ score” for CDP Climate reporting, and improved its CDP Water score from ‘B’ to ‘A-‘.
CDP – formerly the Carbon Disclosure Project – is a global non-profit organisation said to run the world’s leading environmental disclosure system, allowing companies, cities, and regions to report on climate change, water security, and deforestation.
Melco Resorts also holds an ‘A’ rating – just below ‘leader’ status – under MSCI’s environmental, social and governance (ESG) ratings.
Mr Ho was also quoted as saying: “We are honoured to be recognised by leading global ESG raters for our steadfast efforts towards driving real change across our business through our ‘RISE’ sustainability strategy.”
Melco Resorts runs casino complexes in Macau including City of Dreams (pictured), and one respectively in the Philippines and in Sri Lanka, as well as a gaming complex and several satellite properties in the Republic of Cyprus.
