Sands China Champions Local Businesses with 10th Anniversary Celebration of Supplier Support Programme
In a significant milestone for local entrepreneurship, Sands China recently commemorates the 10th anniversary of its Local Small, Medium and Micro Suppliers Support Programme at The Londoner Macao. This initiative, launched in 2015 in partnership with the Macao Chamber of Commerce, has established itself as a pioneering effort in the region, focusing on empowering small and micro suppliers, "Made in Macao" companies, and young entrepreneurs. The programme has played a crucial role in fostering sustainable business practices that align with the Macao SAR government's policies, reflecting Sands China's commitment to nurturing the local economy.
The anniversary event serves to highlight the achievements of the programme over the past decade. Sands China honors its successful collaboration with seven outstanding suppliers through the 2025 Sands Supplier Excellence Awards, while also presenting appreciation certificates to 40 SME partners, many of whom have maintained longstanding relationships with the company for over two decades. This recognition not only celebrates individual achievements but also reinforces the collective impact of small businesses on Macao's vibrant economic landscape. By empowering local suppliers, Sands China not only strengthens its supply chain but also enhances the community's resilience and diversity in the tourism and leisure sector.
As the largest integrated tourism and leisure enterprise in Macao, Sands China continues to advocate for small business development, showcasing its dedication through various initiatives aimed at creating a collaborative business environment. The anniversary serves as both a reflection on past successes and a platform for future cooperation, encouraging local businesses to explore new opportunities within the thriving tourism ecosystem. Sands China’s ongoing support for SMEs underlines its pivotal role in shaping a robust economic framework that benefits all stakeholders in the region.
In addition to celebrating the anniversary, the event facilitates networking opportunities for local businesses and Sands China representatives, emphasizing the importance of partnerships in driving innovation and growth. The Local SME Suppliers Support Programme not only enhances the operational capabilities of small businesses but also contributes to a more dynamic and inclusive market environment in Macao, ultimately benefiting the wider community.
This initiative exemplifies how large enterprises can play a transformative role in local economies, demonstrating that collaboration between various business sizes can lead to mutual success and sustainability. As Sands China continues to expand its impact, the commitment to local suppliers remains a cornerstone of its business strategy, promising a brighter future for Macao’s economic landscape.
