Melco focuses on the needs of the societies in the communities where we operate. We respect and are sensitive to the local ways of doing things. Collaboration and partnership with governments and local organizations is a core principle of this, and we invest in strengthening these relationships with efforts that are tailor-made for each of our communities; allowing us all to progress and prosper together.

PARTNERSHIP FOR PROGRESS & PROSPERITY

We deliver on our commitments by developing unique and differentiated programs in collaboration with our local partners to address specific local issues and needs of that society.

To give voice to our local colleagues and to ensure relevance to local community needs, our CSR Steering Committee primarily comprises local colleagues and we work hard to cultivate relationships with local NGOs and associations. We regularly meet face-to-face with stakeholders in the community, and the CSR Steering Committee meets every month, with our Chairman and CEO, who is the committee’s Executive Sponsor, regularly attending to review the proposed initiatives and to provide oversight and direction for all of Melco’s CSR programs.
