Sands China strongly believes that the company bears an important responsibility in the development of Macao. We have been devoting resources to the local small-business community for more than a decade and we are committed to promoting the development of local enterprises.
We first launched Sands China’s Local Small, Medium and Micro Suppliers Support Programme in 2015, aiming to facilitate opportunities for local suppliers to meet international standards, in support of three types of local businesses jointly identified with the Macao Chamber of Commerce: small, medium and micro enterprises, “Made-in-Macao” companies, and Macao young entrepreneurs.
Under that initiative, we launched the F.I.T. programme for local Macao SME suppliers in April 2017. With this programme, Sands China seeks to increase its procurement spend on all three aforementioned types of local suppliers, while supporting their development.
F.I.T. is comprised of three pillars: Financial Support, Invitational Matching, and Training and Development.
• Financial Support
A Sands China Young Entrepreneur Advance Payment Programme was created to help young local entrepreneurs who have limited financial capacity to run their businesses. It targets young Macao entrepreneurs with a staff size of 15 or below, providing them with a 30 percent advance payment on purchase orders. Sands China successfully cooperated with local banks to launch this special financial support programme, primarily for Sands China’s SME suppliers.
• Invitational Matching
Sands China hosts targeted trade shows that invite local SMEs to go beyond simply meeting potential Sands China buyers. These invitational matching sessions take the usual procurement process a step further by providing a platform for local SMEs to present and demonstrate their products and services to potential users and buyers at Sands China properties, with the company’s full support. The goal is to enhance communication between vendors and users, and to increase the procurement success rate.
• Training and Development
The Sands Procurement Academy, inaugurated in June 2017, aims to develop local SME suppliers by sharing business knowledge and skills, helping them gain experience and capacity to meet international procurement standards. Four types of local SME suppliers were initially targeted – small- and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs), micro-enterprises, Macao young entrepreneurs, and “Made-in-Macao” enterprises – with the programme now open to all local SMEs.
The academy offers tailor-made practical training modules to local SMEs. Upon graduating, they receive a certificate and are given preferential procurement under otherwise equal circumstances. The training programme is the first of its kind in the industry. Since its inception in 2017, it has been held for the nineteenth time, with a total of 705 local SMEs participating, of which 614 have successfully graduated, accumulating more than 9,100 training hours.
In 2023, Sands China established the Sands Resorts Incubation Centre under the umbrella of the F.I.T. programme, dedicated to discovering and supporting innovative local enterprises with development potential. In addition, the company also encourages local entrepreneurs to set up businesses on Rua das Estalagens through the designated community revitalization progrmame, and empowers existing businesses on the street to rebrand and upgrade, thereby enhancing their business capabilities and revitalizing the neighbourhood economy.
