Melco International Development Limited released its 2025 Environmental, Social and Governance Report detailing a sharpened sustainability roadmap, new governance architecture and measurable progress against medium-term climate and resource-efficiency targets.
Melco International’s Board now receives direct guidance from the newly formed Environmental Sustainability & Corporate Social Responsibility Committee. Composed solely of Independent Non-Executive Directors, the body oversees strategy, targets and disclosure, while 10% of four senior executives’ annual bonuses are tied to meeting four ESG metrics, including progress on greenhouse-gas (GHG) intensity.
RISE Strategy Targets • Carbon-neutral integrated resorts and zero waste by 2030. • 5% reduction in Scope 1 & 2 GHG intensity and 3% cut in energy-consumption intensity by 2030, using 2019 as the baseline, with an “ambitious” 22% GHG-intensity ambition. • 19% water-intensity reduction and 5% diversion of useful materials from disposal by 2030.
Progress to Date • Scope 1 & 2 market-based GHG-intensity fell 41% versus 2019, comfortably surpassing the 2030 conservative target. • Total energy-consumption intensity dropped 22% compared with 2019; absolute energy use reached 529,495 MWh, including 5,553 MWh generated onsite from solar PV. • Water-consumption intensity decreased 26% against the 2019 baseline, despite portfolio expansion. • Waste-diversion rate improved to 18% of the total waste stream, up from 4% in 2019.
2025 Emissions Profile • Scope 1: 31,038 tCO₂e. • Scope 2 (location-based): 270,355 tCO₂e; market-based: 7.30 tCO₂e after renewable-energy certificates. • Scope 3: 519,755 tCO₂e, with Purchased Goods & Services contributing 52.29% of value-chain emissions.
Supply-Chain Initiatives • 4,900 suppliers screened against an updated Supplier Code; onsite audits begun for high-volume seafood vendors. • 100% of bed linen and towels sourced from OEKO-TEX-certified suppliers; 80% of chemicals fall in “Green” or “Amber” low-impact categories. • Sustainable-seafood volumes reached 16% of total purchases; cage-free whole-egg penetration hit 97%.
Workforce & Community Highlights • Global headcount rose 5% to 22,972, with women representing 46% of employees and 42% of management roles. • More than 783,000 course enrolments delivered 763,000 training hours; average 33 hours per employee. • HK$149.18 million in charitable contributions and over 4,100 employee volunteers engaged in 486 community projects.
Responsible Gaming & Safety • All Macau, Manila and Cyprus properties maintain “RG Check” or equivalent accreditation; 1,141 trained Responsible Gaming Ambassadors are deployed 24/7. • No fatalities recorded; group-wide total recordable injury frequency rate was 2.50 per 200,000 hours, 19% below the 2019 baseline.
Capital & Technology Actions • Fleet conversion reached 65% electric or hybrid in Macau; 154 on-site EV chargers installed group-wide. • 26,000 photovoltaic panels now supply renewable power to resorts, complemented by renewable-energy certificates—84% RE100-compliant—to offset the bulk of Scope 2 emissions.
Melco International confirmed that climate-related risks are integrated into enterprise risk management, and current assessments show no material impact on the Group’s financial position. Management will publish a detailed decarbonisation roadmap and action plan during 2026 to maintain momentum toward its 2030 objectives.
