GEG (Hong Kong) Launches IR-LEAD Career Diversification Program
1
Solution Description
Committed to supporting the Macau SAR Government’s policies on local talent cultivation, GEG endeavors to facilitate team members’ upward and horizontal
mobility. In this spirit, GEG has launched the IR-LEAD Career Diversification Program, which is based on the company’s previous training and career
development programs. IR-LEAD is a voluntary program designed for gaming team members and aims to help participants to obtain cross-departmental work
experience, enhance their professional skills, and increase their competitiveness at work. Through the program, GEG also hopes to cultivate talent for its new
developments in Cotai, as well as for Macau’s broader integrated resort industry. Earlier, GEG held a series of activities at its properties to introduce team members
to the program; the roadshows, open day and a career planning day were all well-received. IR-LEAD officially kicked off with an opening ceremony at Galaxy
Macau™ to welcome the more than 20 team members selected as the first batch of participants. Combining training and practice, the intensive and focused
program will give participants work experiences in various areas of the hospitality sector, such as front desk, food & beverage, housekeeping, transportation and
environmental services. Participants will gain nearly 800 hours of experience in on-the-job training, presentation skills, problem solving, management skills,
computer software skills and more. In addition, GEG will sponsor participants to enroll in the professional certificate programs provided by the Macao Institute
for Tourism Studies in hopes of deepening participants’ knowledge of the industry. The program includes a Sifu-Support Scheme and a Buddy-Support Scheme,
which will allow participants to work in groups so that they can grow together with their colleagues under the guidance of experienced team members or
department heads.

McDonald’s (USA) and Largest Suppliers Join Mutual Commitment to Diversity
Equity and Inclusion; Increasing Purchases with Diverse Suppliers
15
McDonald’s and over 20 of its largest U.S.-based suppliers took an important step to dismantle barriers to economic opportunity in their businesses
and in the communities they serve by joining the company’s new Mutual Commitment to Diversity, Equity and Inclusion (MCDEI). The company
and its MCDEI signatories will work toward the shared goals of supporting and empowering diverse-owned businesses, creating new pipelines of
diverse talent, driving greater innovation and competition, and building economic growth in diverse communities. Any U.S.-based supplier is
invited to join the MCDEI, from companies that provide goods and services across the food supply chain to consulting and law firms, technology
suppliers and other third parties. The McDonald’s U.S. System spent approximately $14 billion throughout its U.S. supply chain in 2020, an
industry-leading 23% of which was with diverse-owned suppliers. It expects to increase purchases of goods and services from diverse-owned
suppliers1 by nearly 10% by 2025 from a 2020 base year. With this increase, approximately a quarter of U.S. spend – about $3.5 billion – would
be with diverse-owned suppliers. This builds on a strong history of partnership with diverse-owned businesses, more than 385 of whom currently
supply goods and services. Since establishing a global ambition on DEI in July 2020, McDonald’s has advanced a variety of new actions including
setting corporate employee DEI representation goals and aligning leadership accountability for meeting these targets, implementing actions to
dismantle barriers and increasing the allocation of marketing spend to diverse-owned media, content and production partners.

Over 12,000 GEG (Hong Kong) Team Members and Families Participate in
COVID-19 Vaccination Program to Help Macau Achieve Herd Immunity
16
To support the Macau SAR Government’s COVID-19 vaccination program and help the community achieve herd immunity, Galaxy Entertainment Group (“GEG”) continues to encourage its
team members to get vaccinated through various initiatives. From July 12 to 15, GEG invited the Health Bureau to return to Galaxy Macau™ for another setup of a vaccination point for GEG
team members and their families. In addition, GEG also held another vaccination talk and roadshows at the back-of-house areas for team members, as well as extended the Special Vaccine
Leave so that more team members can receive the necessary information and be motivated to get vaccinated. The efforts have been well received by team members. As of, over 12,000 GEG
team members and their families have been vaccinated or have registered to receive a vaccine. Following the vaccine drive that was launched by the Health Bureau at Galaxy Macau last month,
the four-day GEG Outreach Vaccination Program was concluded successfully once again. On the first day, joined by other executives, Mr. Francis Lui, Vice Chairman of GEG, visited the
vaccination point to thank the Health Bureau’s medical workers for safeguarding the Macau community, cheer and mingle with the GEG team members receiving their jabs, and to receive his
second dose. Last week, GEG also invited representatives from the Health Bureau to provide GEG team members with necessary and important information about the vaccines and to answer
their questions. Adding the two vaccine talks that were held in the beginning of June, GEG has held three Vaccine Information Seminars for team members so far. GEG has also invited
representatives from the Health Bureau to hold another vaccine talk at the StarWorld Hotel next week, aimed at helping more team members understand the vaccines. Meanwhile, GEG held
roadshows at its back-of-house areas to give team members information about the vaccination program and assist those in need to scan the QR code for vaccination bookings. Furthermore,
GEG also extended the Special Vaccine Leave for team members so that those receiving their first and second shot of COVID-19 vaccine between June 1 and August 31 can enjoy up to two
days of Special Vaccine Leave. As a responsible corporation, GEG will continue to support the Macau SAR Government’s related guidelines and encourage team members to get vaccinated
while working with the community on protecting the Macau community.

Royal Caribbean (USA) Answers the Call of the Wild and Becomes First To
Return to Alaska
17
The great Alaska adventure is now underway – Royal Caribbean is back and bolder than ever as the first cruise line to sail to the Last Frontier since
September 2019. Yesterday, Serenade of the Seas kicked off the highly anticipated comeback of the summer season when it departed on the first of a
series of 7-night cruises from Seattle. The sailing marks a celebratory moment for the cruise industry, local workforce, regional suppliers and Alaska’s
beloved communities that were significantly impacted by the absence of all cruise tourism, which normally represents more than 60% of the state’s
visitors and generates upwards of $3 billion for its economy each year. Ninety-seven percent of the entire onboard community on Serenade is fully
vaccinated. A local favorite, Serenade sets course for classic cities and quaint towns like Juneau, Sitka, Ketchikan and Icy Strait Point, Alaska, as well
as the jaw-dropping Endicott Arm fjord and Dawes Glacier. The ship will be joined by Ovation of the Seas in Seattle starting Aug. 13, rounding out
Royal Caribbean’s great Alaska comeback in 2021. Once again, families and guests of all ages can venture out to explore the untouched wilds of Alaska
by sea after more than a year. The sights will be in full view on board Serenade, thanks to ocean-facing glass elevators and floor-to-ceiling windows
that keep the show stopping scenery – and wildlife sightings – in focus. Plus, there is an exciting lineup of signature guest favorites, including the rock
climbing wall that touts ocean views from 40 feet, poolside movie nights under the stars and dining venues inspired by a world of flavors, such as Chops
Grille, Giovanni’s Table and Izumi.
