The Marina Bay Sands casino complex in Singapore says it has established a two-year partnership with the city-state’s SG Eco Fund to promote climate awareness and community engagement on environmental sustainability and climate resilience, according to a joint announcement.
The collaboration will see the casino resort and the government-backed fund organise a range of public initiatives, including film screenings, exhibitions, educational programmes and sustainability workshops, aimed at encouraging climate action in Singapore.
To launch the partnership, Marina Bay Sands hosted the opening ceremony for the Sustainable Futures Film Festival on June 11, featuring an exclusive screening of film trailers. Running to August 31, the programme includes 12 film screenings exploring themes related to climate change, biodiversity conservation and ocean science.
The partnership also encompasses interactive exhibitions at the complex’s ArtScience Museum, focused on biodiversity and sustainability. There will be collaborations with SG Eco Fund-supported projects to deliver learning tours, art installations and hands-on workshops for students and members of the public.
The launch ceremony earlier this month was complemented by a private viewing of “Into the Ocean: Journey Beneath”, a world-premiere exhibition presented by ArtScience Museum in collaboration with OceanX, described as one of the world’s leading ocean exploration organisations.
Sridhar Kandhadai, senior vice president of Asia property and asset management at Marina Bay Sands, said the initiative aimed to create opportunities for communities to engage with environmental issues in an accessible and meaningful manner.
“Marina Bay Sands remains committed to supporting meaningful engagement on sustainability across Singapore,” he stated.
Desmond Ho, trust secretary of SG Eco Fund, said the partnership sought to strengthen Singapore’s climate resilience.
“Through this partnership with Marina Bay Sands, we want to amplify awareness on the impacts of climate change and the need for adaptation, and inspire more ground-up initiatives within our community,” Mr Ho added.
Marina Bay Sands, promoted by Las Vegas Sands Corp, is one half of Singapore’s casino duopoly.
The latest collaboration forms part of the casino resort’s broader sustainability strategy, known as Sands ECO360. Marina Bay Sands said it saved 13 million litres of water through efficiency measures and achieved a 28-percent reduction in Scope 1 and Scope 2 carbon emissions in 2025 compared with its 2018 baseline.
The casino complex is also participating in Singapore’s Go Green SG campaign for a fourth consecutive year. As part of this year’s programme, 22 retailers at The Shoppes at Marina Bay Sands are offering sustainability-focused products and experiences.
