(Macao, Dec. 5, 2016) – The 2016 Sands Supplier Excellence Awards was held at The Venetian® Macao Thursday, with Sands China Ltd. recognising the outstanding cooperation and services of its suppliers. Held at the end of each year, the awards are a global initiative of Sands China’s parent company, Las Vegas Sands Corp.
“This is Sands China’s fourth year to hold these awards,” said Wilfred Wong, president of Sands China Ltd. “The success of our company and the success of our suppliers are connected, creating a mutually beneficial relationship. Each year, we take time to recognise the most outstanding of these suppliers, acknowledging the important role they play in helping Sands China execute our company strategy: delivering unforgettable experiences to our many guests and visitors. We appreciate and value our suppliers, and we hope these business partners – from large companies to medium and small enterprises – have the opportunity to develop a long-term business partnership with us.”
From among thousands of service providers and suppliers working with Sands China, more than 300 companies were nominated for this year’s Sands Supplier Excellence Awards by Sands China’s business units and employees. The nominated companies represent industries such as construction and development; furniture and equipment; facilities and services; food and beverage; and many others. The winners include long-established local companies that have contributed to Macao's development over the years. Besides some large companies, three out of the seven winners are local SMEs (Ka Ming Trading, Wa Toc Engineering Company Limited, and ICON Gaming Technology Limited), a testament to Sands China's ongoing support of local Macao enterprises.
The 2016 Sands Supplier Excellence Awards featured entertainment and an appreciation dinner, and recognised outstanding suppliers in seven categories: small- and medium-sized enterprise (SME), corporate culture and sustainability, cost management, service excellence, project management, total quality management, and innovation. Winners were selected by a judging committee comprised of Sands China executive management. Judges examine a range of criteria including suppliers’ leadership, vision and strategy; product consistency and process capability; and creative partnership opportunities, among other criteria.
