Recently, the finale theme day of the “Towards Dual Carbon · Building a Healthy Enterprise” 2025 Series of activities and “Eat Green, Eat Healthy Creative Recipes Challenge” award ceremony was held successfully at the GICC.
Galaxy Entertainment Group (GEG) continues to promote sustainability and workplace wellness through its latest initiative — the “Towards Dual Carbon · Building a Healthy Enterprise” 2025 Series.
Supported by the Environmental Protection Bureau (DSPA) and the Health Bureau (SSM), the program aims to deepen awareness of environmental protection and healthy lifestyles among team members and the wider Macau community.
Spanning five months since its launch in June, the series has included a green recipe design competition, energy conservation booths, and health promotion activities related to SSM’s “Healthy Enterprise Program.” GEG also supported DSPA’s hotel “Green Tours,” where local students learned about sustainable hotel operations and green practices.
The initiative culminated in a finale theme day and the “Eat Green, Eat Healthy Creative Recipes Challenge” award ceremony at the Galaxy International Convention Center, showcasing team members’ achievements in fostering a green and healthy corporate culture.
Mr. Justin Li, Assistant Vice President of Sustainability and Technical Services of Galaxy Macau, presented GEG’s sustainability and environmental initiatives to guests and team members.
Mr. Steve Yeung, Assistant Vice President of Workplace Health and Safety of GEG, shared GEG’s workplace safety and health policies, implementations, and achievements with guests and team members.
Nearly 60 recipes were submitted for the competition, judged on presentation, aroma, taste, creativity, nutritional value, and cooking technique. Eight winners were recognized, and five standout dishes will be featured on staff canteen menus to promote green dining.
The president of the Macau Professional Nutritionist Association, Ms. Steph Ng also delivered a lecture on the benefits of low-carbon diets for health and stress management.
Beyond the competition, GEG partnered with SSM to organize the “Health Club” touring event, offering traditional Chinese medicine consultations, health screenings, and chronic disease awareness programs.
The company also joined forces with the Macau Electricity Company, Ltd. to operate an interactive energy conservation booth promoting eco-friendly habits and paperless lifestyles.
The “Eat Green, Eat Healthy Creative Recipes Challenge”, which encouraged team members to creatively incorporate low-carbon and healthy eating concepts into everyday meals, received nearly 60 recipe submissions. Entries were evaluated by the judge panel based on presentation, aroma, taste, creativity, nutrition value, and cooking technique. Eight team members ultimately stood out to receive awards, with five outstanding recipes among them to be featured on the staff canteen menu under the guidance of the Food & Beverage team, allowing more team members to enjoy and experience green dining.
GEG collaborated with the SSM to organize the “Health Club” touring event in the back-of-house areas of its properties, offering team members with traditional Chinese medicine consultations, blood glucose and blood pressure screening, and promoting the chronic disease screening program, in support of the Macau SAR Government’s “Healthy Macau Blueprint” and further advancing the development of the “Healthy Enterprise Program”.
During the hotel “Green Tours”, GEG welcomed around 280 local students to several GEG hotels that have received the “Macao Green Hotel Award”, including the Galaxy Hotel, Banyan Tree Macau, and Hotel Okura Macau. Through these visits, students gained insights into GEG’s sustainable operations, practical application of the “Bamboo as a Substitute for Plastic” initiative, and hands-on experience in water quality testing activities.
Additionally, around 280 students participated in hotel Green Tours at GEG’s award-winning properties, including Galaxy Hotel™, Banyan Tree Macau, and Hotel Okura Macau, gaining insight into sustainable hospitality practices.
GEG’s continuous efforts in sustainability have earned multiple recognitions, including the “Excellence in Social Positive Impact – Commendation” at the 8th Hong Kong ESG Reporting Awards and numerous Macao Green Hotel Awards.
As one of the first enterprises certified under SSM’s “Healthy Enterprise Program,” GEG provides healthy meal options, self-health monitoring devices, and wellness programs engaging over 40,000 team member participations to date.
Through initiatives like this, GEG remains committed to advancing Macau’s dual carbon goals and building a healthier, more sustainable community.
