Melco Resorts & Entertainment Limited (Nasdaq: MLCO) is pleased to announce it has become Macau’s first and only company to achieve the prestigious Green Key Awards for four of its integrated resort properties Morpheus, Nüwa, The Countdown at City of Dreams and Studio City Hotel. The award is a global tourism industry eco-label which recognizes excellence in the field of environmental responsibility and sustainable operation. With environmental sustainability being a core focus of Melco’s social corporate responsibility, each of the four hotels garnered the esteemed award upon compliance with the highest environmental management standards set by the Foundation for Environmental Education (FEE).

Mr. Lawrence Ho, Chairman and Chief Executive Officer of Melco Resorts & Entertainment, said, “Melco is committed to environmental sustainability, and we are thrilled to be presented with the prestigious and globally-recognized Green Key award for the efforts dedicated to this cause at our various integrated resort properties. We would like to thank the organizers and our employees, especially our dedicated environmental team who have made this recognition possible, as we continue to work with the government to develop Macau into a world-class capital for green tourism.”

Melco has been an industry leader in energy and water conservation. To date, Melco’s green infrastructures have successfully conserved CO2emissions by a volume requiring over 6.9 million trees to absorb and saved water volume exceeding 438 Olympic-size swimming pools. Earlier this spring, with aim to support greener operations, Melco purchased and put into service a fleet of 20 electronic zero-emission buses to serve passengers travelling to and from its properties.

Launched in Denmark in 1994, the Green Key represents the hotels’ promise to guests in their dedication to making an environmental difference.  The standards expected of awarded hotels are maintained through rigorous documentation and frequent audits. To date, 2,900 establishments in 57 countries have been awarded the Green Key.
