Brian Ho has joined SJM Resorts Ltd, the casino operating arm of SJM Holdings Ltd, as vice president, sustainability. He most recently served as vice president for sustainability at Singapore casino complex Resorts World Sentosa, a role he had assumed in January last year.
Mr Ho gave the news of his new Macau role in a LinkedIn post. The development had first been reported in trade publication Eco-Business.
SJM Resorts’ properties include its Cotai flagship Grand Lisboa Palace (pictured).
Mr Ho stated in his post: “After four years in Singapore – first at Deloitte, then at Resorts World Sentosa – I’m returning to the [Guangdong-Hong Kong-Macau] Greater Bay Area to begin this new chapter.”
His previous experience – according to his profile on LinkedIn – included work in Hong Kong as a partner covering climate change and sustainability services at professional-services firm Ernst & Young, which does business as EY.
Mr Ho stated regarding his work at SJM Resorts: “This is a newly created role: a sign that SJM is serious about embedding sustainability into its operations.”
The executive also referred to Macau’s current 10-year gaming concession system that started in January 2023.
He said that framework had “placed sustainability and non-gaming development at the centre of the industry’s future”.
“SJM has already started this journey – winning ESG [environmental social and governance] awards for initiatives like cooling tower energy recovery and water recycling systems,” Mr Ho added. “ I’m here to learn from what’s already been done, and to help build on it.”
The executive stated: “My time in Singapore taught me a lot: about how sustainability ecosystems work, how large companies can support SMEs [small and medium-sized enterprises], and how culture matters more than certification.”
“I hope to apply some of those lessons here, while staying humble about what I don’t yet know about Macau’s context,” he added.
Eco-Business reported that Resorts World Sentosa, controlled by a unit of Genting Singapore Ltd, has appointed Loh Su Kim as chief strategy and sustainability officer, with effect from January 2026.
The outlet said that in that role, Ms Loh is responsible for Resorts World Sentosa’s “strategic direction as well as driving its sustainability strategy and targets, which include achieving carbon neutrality by 2030, reducing waste-to-landfill intensity by about a half, and contributing to local marine biodiversity conservation projects”.
