MARINA Bay Sands yesterday announced it no longer serves shark fin in restaurants it owns and operates, nor offers it at MICE events at Sands Expo and Convention Centre.
This 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’ MICE clients can choose from the Green Harvest Menu that features ingredients sourced locally to reduce food miles. Additionally, selected seafood served at MICE events as well as restaurants owned and operated by the resort are sourced from suppliers that fish or farm responsibly.
MBS is showcasing its sustainable seafood offerings from June 8 to 15 at its international buffet restaurant, Rise, in conjunction with Singapore’s first Sustainable Seafood Festival organised by WWF. Rise will serve 13 dishes in its special sustainable seafood menu alongside daily buffet menu.
The resort will also work with its tenants to encourage sustainable practices, including recycling, reducing food wastage and removing shark fin from their menus.
