GEG Supports the World Environment Day and Beautiful China Promotion Week and Launches Macau’s First “Landscape Resources Upcycling Program”

June 11, 2026 – Galaxy Entertainment Group (“GEG”) proactively supports the country’s “dual carbon” goals and the Macau SAR Government’s environmental policies, contributing to the development of a greener Macau. In support of this year’s World Environment Day, GEG actively participated in the Macau Program for the “National Event on World Environment Day 2026 and Beautiful China Promotion Week”, organized by the Environmental Protection Bureau of the Macau SAR Government (“DSPA”) and co-organized by environmental authorities across the Guangdong-Hong Kong-Macau Greater Bay Area. Moreover, GEG officially launched the “Landscape Resources Upcycling Program”. In collaboration with local environmental technology SME Chazence, the program recycles and repurposes landscape resources generated across GEG’s properties, transforming them into innovative materials for use in hotel and MICE operations. Through this initiative, GEG has become the first integrated tourism and leisure enterprise in Macau to implement a circular upcycling model for landscape resources, further supporting the development of the local circular economy.

Recently, GEG held a launch ceremony for the “Landscape Resources Upcycling Program” at Andaz Macau, marking the official commencement of the initiative. Attending guests included Mr. James Koratzopoulos, Executive Vice President of Hotel and MICE Operations of GEG, and Mr. Calvin Sio, Founder and Chief Executive Officer of Chazence, among others. GEG has long placed emphasis on green development, with the Galaxy Macau™ integrated resort featuring over 66,000 square meters of industry-leading landscaped greenery. Through this program, GEG has partnered with Chazence to transform resources generated from daily landscape maintenance into innovative and sustainable materials using advanced synthesis and plant extraction technologies. These materials are now being applied to guest-facing materials, such as guest room door hangers and menus, with initial rollout at Capella at Galaxy Macau, Andaz Macau, and the Galaxy International Convention Center (“GICC”).

GEG also actively participated in community-wide energy conservation and carbon reduction initiatives. At the launch ceremony for the “National Event on World Environment Day 2026” and the “Energy Saving and Carbon Reduction for All Campaign”, GEG donated all proceeds from its annual plastic bag fee to the Fuhong Society of Macau in support of its social enterprise, “Happy Market”. The funding will support recycling initiatives while creating more diverse vocational training opportunities for persons with disabilities, promoting both environmental sustainability and social inclusion. In addition, all GEG properties switched off non-essential exterior lighting for one hour on the evening of June 5, in support of World Environment Day. GEG also encouraged back-of-house team members to adopt energy‑saving practices, including wearing lightweight attire during the summer and maintaining office temperatures at 25°C or above, promoting a green and low-carbon lifestyle.

GEG has consistently integrated environmental protection and sustainable development principles into its operations. As the first integrated tourism and leisure enterprise in Macau to extensively implement the “Bamboo as a Substitute for Plastic” initiative, nine of its hotel brands have adopted bamboo amenities alongside large-capacity dispensers. In 2020, GEG has implemented a circular system by replacing all branded drinking water bottles across its properties with bottles made from recycled PET (rPET). In addition, GEG has collaborated with local environmental SMEs to upcycle recycled plastic bottles into runner bags and jackets for the “Galaxy Entertainment Macao International Marathon”. Since 2024, GEG has also partnered with Chazence to introduce hospitality materials made from tea residue and other agricultural by-products, which are in use at Capella at Galaxy Macau, Andaz Macau, and GICC. GEG’s wide-ranging environmental initiatives have received strong industry recognition. GEG holds the largest number of EarthCheck certifications among integrated tourism and leisure enterprises in Macau, while several of its hotel brands have received accolades under the “Macao Green Hotel Award”, organized by DSPA and co‑organized by the Macao Government Tourism Office.
