Mr. Lawrence Ho, Chairman and CEO of Melco Resorts & Entertainment, said, “Since launching our RISE sustainability strategy in 2019, our ambition has been clear: to integrate sustainability into how Melco operates, not as a parallel agenda, but as part of the business itself. What began as commitments and targets has evolved into systems and practices embedded into how our Colleagues work on a day-to-day basis. Maintaining consistency in how we govern, operate and deliver requires continued discipline and a clear understanding of both the opportunities and the constraints ahead. Together with our teams, and our ecosystem of suppliers and partners, we are committed to enhancing the positive impact we can create.”

The Company has integrated its Task Force on Climate-related Financial Disclosures (TCFD) responses into the IFRS S2 framework, and achieved external verification for all environmental data, including Scope 1, 2, and 3 greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions.
