Genting Singapore has published its thirteenth annual sustainability report, covering the financial year ended 31 December 2025, recording a 24 percent reduction in carbon emission intensity against its 2015 baseline as the operator advances its decarbonisation targets across Resorts World Sentosa (RWS).
This disclosure is announced as the Singapore Exchange (SGX) formally incorporates the International Financial Reporting Standards S2 (IFRS S2) climate framework into its listing rules. For Genting Singapore, a constituent of the Straits Times Index, this is the first year of its progressive IFRS S2 alignment, disclosed under transition reliefs available under the enhanced reporting timetable administered by SGX RegCo.
Tan Sri Lim Kok Thay, executive chairman and acting chief executive, described 2025 in the report as a year of intense transformation. “These achievements are not ends in themselves,” he wrote. “They are milestones in a longer journey.”
Environmental performance
Total greenhouse gas emissions across Scopes 1, 2, and selected Scope 3 categories reached 108,320 tCO2e for FY2025. Scope 2 emissions, which represent the largest share of the group’s footprint through purchased electricity, rose to 74,509 tCO2e as four new attractions opened at RWS and increased the resort’s operational load. Scope 1 emissions fell 17 percent to 2,032 tCO2e, driven by reduced diesel generator usage and the replacement of gas-powered water boilers with electric heaters.
As a result, even though absolute emissions from these new operations increased, carbon intensity relative to gross floor area remained 24 percent below the 2015 baseline, keeping the group on track for a 30 percent reduction by 2030. Waste sent to landfill intensity was 42 percent lower than the baseline, and water withdrawal for potable and NEWater supply was 41 percent lower, a target considered already achieved.
On external ratings, Genting Singapore achieved an A-minus from CDP in its 2025 Climate Change assessment, its highest-ever score, and retained its MSCI ESG “AA” rating alongside continued inclusion in the FTSE4Good Index.
Responsible gambling governance
From the point of view of casino groups and their investors, the information disclosed regarding corporate governance has operational importance. RWS secured the highest accreditation score in the world from the RG Check programme, a record it has now achieved for the tenth consecutive year. The programme, designed by the Responsible Gambling Council, assesses operators on 47 criteria including patron education, exclusion, and staff training. All casino team members undertook responsible gambling training during the year. The group’s “Manage Game Play” programme recorded over 3,400 patron enrolments, with a retention rate of over 95 percent.
The group also reported zero confirmed incidents of corruption and zero customer privacy breaches in FY2025. RWS represented Singapore’s casino sector during the country’s Financial Action Task Force mutual evaluation during the year.
Community and social disclosure
Community contributions through the RWS Cares programme have benefited over 24,700 individuals, with cash and in-kind donations totaling over SGD 2.1 million, or $1.6 million. A SGD 200,000 seed fund was established for small arts organizations through Singapore’s National Arts Council.
This report follows the GRI Universal Standards 2021 and also refers to the SASB Casinos and Gaming standard, which covers topics such as energy consumption, responsible gaming, and anti-money laundering, which are all relevant to the gaming industry. Greenhouse gas emissions are also assured on a limited basis by PricewaterhouseCoopers LLP. This report is also included in the Singapore Exchange (SGX) listing rules 711A and 711B.
