Melco Resorts & Entertainment has been included in the S&P Global Sustainability Yearbook 2026, ranking in the 96th percentile within the Casinos and Gaming industry in the 2025 Corporate Sustainability Assessment (CSA), according to a statement by integrated resort operator last week.
The statement said that Melco improved from the 92nd percentile recorded in the previous year’s assessment, noting that the yearbook published by US rating agency Standards & Poors is regarded as a key benchmark for corporate sustainability performance.
The statement added that yearbook members are selected based on their scores by CSA. In order to qualify, companies must rank within the top 15 percent of their industry and achieve a CSA score within 30 percent of the industry’s top-performing company, the statement noted.
According to the statement, more than 9,200 companies were assessed in the 2025 CSA for consideration in the 2026 Yearbook. About 800 enterprises across 59 industries were selected for inclusion, the statement noted, adding that Melco also reported continued recognition from other environmental, social and governance (ESG) rating bodies.
Melco achieved a B score for CDP (Carbon Disclosure Project) Climate 2025 and improved its CDP Water score from B to A-, the statement said, adding that it also holds an A rating from MSCI (Morgan Stanley Capital International).
Melco Chairman and CEO Lawrence Ho Yau-lung was quoted in the statement as saying that the company remains committed to enhancing its sustainability performance annually. He noted that the CSA assessment provides an important benchmark for evaluating progress in key focus areas and added that the company is honoured to be recognised by global ESG rating agencies for its efforts under the “RISE” (Response-Inducing Sustainability Evaluation) strategy.
