Materials & Resources
From the ingredients in our kitchens to the products in our guest rooms, we prioritize materials that are responsibly certified, ethically produced and locally sourced where possible.
Responsible Dining
Thoughtful sourcing elevates the culinary experience by fostering a connection between our guests and the origin of the food. We are dedicated to serving the region’s freshest and most sustainable produce.
Responsibly Sourced Seafood
Since 2015, we have worked closely with the World Wide Fund for Nature (WWF) Singapore to ensure our seafood is responsibly sourced and have invested in transitioning regional fish farms to greater sustainability.
Plant-based options
We offer a range of culinary choices that cleverly incorporate vegetables and alternative proteins into traditional dishes, reducing our environmental footprint.
Local and Regional Sourcing
Celebrating the finest flavours of Asia, from farm to table.
Responsibly sourced seafood
With over 90% of global fish stocks overfished, improving fishery management is integral to preventing our ocean’s decline. From 2017 to 2023, we collaborated closely with the World Wide Fund for Nature (WWF) Singapore to transform the seafood supply chain and conserve our marine ecosystems.
We funded nine farms and one fishery across Malaysia and Singapore to support communities in their transition to the highest levels of sustainability. Fish farms were guided to the best practices in feed, land and water use, waste and pollutant minimisation. These farms have produced over 2.8 million kilograms of responsible seafood throughout the partnership. We continue to work closely with WWF to protect the biodiversity in our ecosystems.
Plant-based options
We cleverly incorporate alternative proteins into traditional dishes, mimicking the flavour, texture and aroma of real meat. From scrumptious soy-based burgers to mushroom-based renditions of Asian dishes, every bite is a journey through innovation. Our Team Member Dining Rooms also serve a variety of plant-based dishes, providing Team Members with a diversity of food choices.
This is accompanied by the tasty plant-based dishes and thoughtfully crafted vegetarian options at our restaurants across property.
Local & Regional Sourcing
Southeast Asia is a gateway to a world of culinary excellence. Many of our restaurant menus focus on local and regional sourcing to bring you the region’s best produce and finest ingredients. From the sweetest strawberries harvested in the cool climate of the Cameron Highlands, to crisp microgreens nurtured in Singapore’s urban farms.
RISE Restaurant was awarded the highest tier of the Farm-to-Table Recognition Programme in 2024 by the Singapore Food Agency.
We are also home to two on-site herb gardens at the Expo & Convention. Our chefs harvest close to 10kg of herbs monthly and integrate them into our event menus, offering our guests the freshest and tastiest herbs, whilst contributing to carbon emission reduction from transport.
Sustainable Sourcing
We drive our commitments and values through our supply chain by prioritizing materials and products that meet high environmental standards and minimise waste.
LED Lighting
Cutting down on electricity use while maintaining high-quality illumination.
Cleaning Chemicals
Sourcing certified cleaning products that are safe, effective and environmentally responsible.
Paper Products
Protecting our forests and reducing our environmental impact.
Re-inventing Value in Waste
Fostering strong partnerships to repurpose discarded materials into meaningful products.
LED Lighting
To reduce our electricity consumption, Marina Bay Sands has transitioned close to 100% energy-efficient LED lighting across our property. These bulbs use up to 75% less energy per bulb and last longer than traditional lighting.
Cleaning Chemicals
By using certified cleaning chemicals, Marina Bay Sands continues to maintain a clean and safe environment while advancing our environmental goals. These products come in concentrated, bulk packaging that help us minimize chemical usage and reduce plastic packaging.
Paper Products
All our notepads, paper cups, napkins and hygiene products are made from Forest Stewardship Council (FSC) certified paper. This means that the wood these products are sourced from come from responsibly managed forests that support biodiversity, protect ecosystems and respect the rights of workers and communities.
Re-inventing Value in Waste
Waste is given a second lease of life at Marina Bay Sands. We continue to partner with contemporary artisans, using imaginative circular materials to create new products – from menu cubes made of chopsticks and table numbers created from bottle corks, to linen-change plaques made of local wood.
In the hotel rooms, partially used soap bars are collected and donated to “Clean the World” where they are repurposed into new bars for communities vulnerable to hygiene-related illnesses. We donate up to 3,500 kg of soap bars every year.
Marina Bay Sands also collects used cooking oil from its kitchens daily, which is repurposed into sustainable aviation fuel that is used in airplanes around the world. Approximately 100,000 litres of used cooking oil is rescued annually.
