Brighter hopes for shark conservation


Singapore’s integrated resort, Marina Bay Sands (MBS), is the latest to join the bandwagon of tourism players to throw their support behind shark conservation and responsible seafood consumption.

It has taken shark fins off the menus of restaurants it owns and operates, and will no longer offer it at business events held at Sands Expo and Convention Centre.

The initiative, which was piloted in October 2013, is aligned to the integrated resort’s global sustainability strategy – Sands Eco360° which drives the stewardship of responsible business operations in the areas of green buildings, environmentally responsible operations, green meetings and sustainability education and outreach.

MBS’ business event clients can choose from the Green Harvest Menu that features ingredients sourced locally to reduce food miles. Additionally, selected seafood served at business events as well as restaurants owned and operated by the resort are sourced from suppliers that fish or farm responsibly.

The integrated resort will also work with its tenants to encourage sustainable practices, including recycling, reducing food wastage and removing shark fins from their menus.
