GROUNDWORK FOR TOMORROW
2025 marked a defining year for Marina Bay Sands, one where we advanced our sustainability ambitions while breaking ground on a transformative new development. As we continue to reimagine what a modern luxury destination can be, sustainability remains embedded in every decision, from the way we operate today to the design of our ultra-luxurious resort and entertainment destination. With every step forward, we are shaping a future where luxury and responsibility move together, powered by innovation, circularity, and partnerships that protect ecosystems and uplift communities.
Environment
Marina Bay Sands continued to make breakthroughs in driving environmental stewardship, advancing in efficient resource management and building a responsible, regenerative future.
Low-Carbon Transition
Through ongoing adoption of smart technologies that enhance resource efficiency, Marina Bay Sands achieved a 28% reduction in carbon emissions in 2025. Driven by targeted engineering retrofits, the integrated resort saved 13 million kWh, complemented by investment in iRECs.
Water Stewardship
Marina Bay Sands remains steadfast in its water stewardship commitment, integrating key operational changes that resulted in major water savings. In 2025, the integrated resorted extended its water-saving initiatives to the celebrity chef restaurants, where the installation of water flow restrictors on kitchen sinks resulted in savings of 6 million litres of water.
Waste & Circularity
2025 was a phenomenal year for Marina Bay Sands as the integrated resort achieved record diversion rates of 42%. Successes included the transformation of 100,000 litres of used cooking oil into renewable diesel, which was re-incorporated into the integrated resort’s power generators, giving new life to waste.
Materials & Resources
Upholding its responsible sourcing philosophy continued to be a key focus for Marina Bay Sands. In 2025, the integrated resort made strides in the reduction of single-use plastic wrap, with restaurants such as RISE and Maison Boulud achieving an 83% reduction in usage.
Biodiversity
Marina Bay Sands strengthened its dedication in supporting local and regional initiatives that drive conservation and protect biodiversity. In 2025, the integrated resort established a partnership with Hutan, a leading non-profit organisation dedicated to restoring the rainforest in Sabah, Borneo.
Certifications
