China Edition: Recognized in the Top 1% of S&P Global Corporate Sustainability Assessment Scores for the Fourth Consecutive Year
The S&P Global Sustainability Yearbook is one of the world’s most authoritative publications for corporate sustainability assessment.

This year’s China Edition assessed nearly 1,800 companies from Mainland China, Hong Kong, and Macau, ultimately selecting 193 companies from 56 industries for inclusion in the Yearbook. Sands China has been named among the “Top 1% of S&P Global Corporate Sustainability Assessment Scores” for Chinese companies for the fourth consecutive year, making it one of 36 selected companies nationwide. Additionally, the company has won the “Industry Mover” award for two consecutive years, a remarkable achievement.
To receive the “Industry Mover” honor, a company must achieve a performance improvement of at least 5% compared to the previous year and demonstrate excellence within its industry. Sands China exceeded both criteria, with an improvement of over 6%.
International Edition: Ranked Among the Global Top 1% for the Third Consecutive Year
This year’s International Edition assessed over 9,200 companies worldwide, ultimately selecting 848 companies from 59 industries for inclusion in the Yearbook. Sands China is one of 71 companies globally recognized as being in the “Top 1% of S&P Global Corporate Sustainability Assessment Scores” and has been included for three consecutive years, positioning it as a global industry leader.
The S&P Global Corporate Sustainability Assessment is a comprehensive evaluation of corporate sustainability practices and performance, covering numerous companies worldwide.
