Melco Crown Entertainment Limited has participated in the MIECF 2017 once again as the only prime exhibitor in the hotel category, showcasing its green initiatives and results achieved through its environmental management program dedicated to contributing to the long term sustainability of the city while expanding its business.
Melco Crown has been an industry leader in energy and water conservation and has strived to minimize the adverse impact that its operations may have on the environment. To date, the Company has successfully reduced CO2 emissions by a volume that requires more than 1.9 million trees to absorb and saved water of a volume exceeding 326 Olympic-size swimming pools. The Company is planning to install a photovoltaic (solar electric) system on the rooftop of the Crown Towers this year, the first of its kind to be installed in a commercial building. Electricity generated from the photovoltaic system will be routed back to the grid of CEM, as one of the renewable sources to meet the energy needs of the city.
Ms Akiko Takahashi, Executive Vice President, Chief Officer of HR and CSR of Melco Crown Entertainment, said, “Environmental protection has always been one of the top priorities of Melco Crown Entertainment’s corporate social responsibility program. To enable a low carbon future and sustainable growth of Macau, we continue to enhance our commitment through a range of ongoing green practices that successfully reduce CO2 emissions and energy consumption.
