14 consecutive years of support

MACAO,March 27,2022 -- Sands China Ltd. observed Earth Hour 2022 at its properties Saturday,turning off exterior lights and non-essential indoor lights for one hour in support of the annual global event. It is the company's 14th straight year joining businesses and individuals around the world in the lights-off activity,with all Sands China properties taking part: Sands® Macao; The Venetian® Macao; The Plaza® Macao featuring Four Seasons; The Parisian Macao; and The Londoner® Macao,comprising The Londoner Hotel,Londoner Court,St. Regis,Conrad,and Sheraton.

Sands China properties turn off exterior lights and non-essential indoor lights for one hour March 26 during Earth Hour 2022,joining businesses and individuals around the world to increase climate change awareness.

Earth Hour was founded in 2007 with a goal of raising awareness of climate change by encouraging eco-conscious individuals,communities,households and businesses around the world to turn off their lights for one hour.

Besides participating in Earth Hour,Sands China has been taking the initiative since 2013 to observe Earth Hour each month. The company's resorts turn off exterior lights,signage and marquees for one hour on the first Tuesday of each month,in an effort to maximise the positive environmental effects of the energy-saving movement.

Sean McCreery,senior vice president of resort operations for Sands China Ltd.,said:"Sands China is very pleased to be supporting Earth Hour for 14 years running. Raising consciousness is a crucial first step in prompting people to take action against climate change,and Earth Hour remains one of the most visible global initiatives in that regard. Besides the very real effects of reducing energy consumption,Earth Hour,along with our properties' monthly observances,are an important reminder that all of us have a significant role to play in living and promoting an eco-friendly lifestyle and operating environmentally responsible businesses."
