Sands China holds supplier excellence awards, launches book on local success stories

Sands China Ltd. held a joint event Friday at The Londoner Macao, where the company honoured some of its most outstanding suppliers, recognised local SMEs graduating from its procurement training programme, and launched a book highlighting the success stories of its local SME suppliers. 




The 2021 Sands Supplier Excellence Awards, the 10th Sands Procurement Academy Graduation, and the new SME book are all among Sands China’s ongoing efforts to support Macao’s SMEs as part of the company’s Local Small, Medium and Micro Suppliers Support Programme. 




Holding the ceremonies at one event provided a valuable opportunity for the academy’s latest cohort of graduating SMEs to gain encouragement from watching Sands China award some of its most outstanding suppliers, including local SMEs. And in launching its latest SME book, Sands China has recorded the milestones of the company’s local SME support programme since 2015 and highlighted some of the success stories of local SMEs it has worked with over the years.




“Sands China is very pleased to again recognise the outstanding services and products provided by our many suppliers, whose collaboration is essential for us to provide the world-class experience our integrated resorts are known for,” said Dr. Wilfred Wong, president of Sands China Ltd.




“As Macao continues to carry on in the face of an ongoing pandemic, we are grateful for the continued cooperation of our suppliers, whether small or large, local or international. We are also glad to see the continued success of our Sands Procurement Academy in helping nurture Macao’s local suppliers with skills and knowledge, as we celebrate the 10th group of local enterprises to graduate from the programme.”




It is Sands China’s 9th year holding the Sands Supplier Excellence Awards, acknowledging the cooperation and services of some of the company’s most noteworthy suppliers. This year’s ceremony recognised nine winners across six categories: 

• Corporate Culture, Innovation & Sustainability: 

• Project Delivery:
