In times of catastrophes and natural disasters, Melco has consistently come to the aid of our communities during difficult times. Our past history includes helping our guests, communities and colleagues with disaster relief in Macau, Mainland China, Philippines, Japan and the Australian bushfires to name but a few.
We remain very much committed to sharing resources to forge ahead through difficult times. Past examples of cooperation between Melco, the government and community to respond to disasters are shared below.
MACAU
2017 and 2018 Typhoon Hato and Mangkhut
MAINLAND CHINA
For the 2008 and 2013 Sichuan earthquakes, company donations and organized donation drives for colleagues to contribute supported the relief efforts.
PHILIPPINES
In 2013, company donations and organized donation drives for colleagues to contribute supported the response efforts to typhoon Yolanda.
JAPAN
In 2011, the magnitude-9 Tohoku earthquake shook northeastern Japan. Melco donated to relief efforts which included financing a short trip for 300 disaster-affected children to be away from the aftermath of the catastrophe. The goal was to lift their spirits through trips to Okinawa and Osaka. We also assisted in the relief efforts for the 2018 earthquake and flooding in Osaka.
