GEG also this year continued its support of the “Lights Out One Hour” and “Dress Light ∙ Save Energy” campaigns, with all GEG properties switching off non-essential exterior lighting for one hour on 5 June, World Environment Day.

Macau’s first “Landscape Resources Upcycling Program” has also been pioneered by GEG, becoming the first integrated tourism and leisure enterprise in Macau to adopt a circular upcycling model for landscape resources. In collaboration with local environmental technology SME Chazence, the program recycles and repurposes landscape resources generated across GEG’s properties, further supporting the development of the local circular economy.
