Melco’s 2025 Green Goals: A Fresh Look at Progress

A Shift from Goals to Action

The company that runs popular resorts in Macau, the Philippines and Europe has released a new sustainability report for 2025. The title “RISE to Go Above & Beyond” signals a shift from talking about goals to showing real action.

Sustainability Embedded in Everyday Operations

In the report, the CEO explains that sustainability is no longer a side project; it’s woven into everyday operations. Employees, suppliers and partners all share the same mission to improve the planet while running profitable businesses.

Double Materiality Approach

Melco uses a “double materiality” method, meaning it looks at how environmental issues affect the company and how the company’s actions influence the environment. The report aligns with international climate guidelines and has had all its greenhouse gas data verified by an outside party.
