Marina Bay Sands in Singapore Removes Shark Fin from Restaurants

Marina Bay Sands is no longer serving shark fin in the restaurants it owns and operates.

Shark fin dishes are also no longer offered at MICE (meetings, incentives, conventions, exhibitions) events at Sands Expo and Convention Centre.

"We commend Marina Bay Sands for leading the way given its iconic status in Singapore. Their commitment and now concrete action of removing shark fin from their wholly-owned restaurants and from banquet operations should not be seen as anything but exemplary," said Elaine Tan, CEO of World Wildlife Fund Singapore. "Sharks are a crucial part of marine ecosystems and their populations have a direct impact on fish stocks, which in-turn affects many things, including our food security in the future. Marina Bay Sands is showing foresight and leadership in corporate sustainability, providing a great example that the longevity and ongoing success of business is closely tied to safeguarding the biodiversity of our planet."

As one of the first venues in Singapore and Southeast Asia to obtain the ISO 20121 Sustainable Events Management Certification, Marina Bay Sands has built in systems and offerings to help its environmentally-conscious clients meet their sustainability goals.

On the F&B front, 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 integrated resort are sourced from suppliers that fish or farm responsibly, as certified by either the Marine Stewardship Council (MSC) or the Aquaculture Stewardship Council (ASC). Both certifications are global seafood standards used to identify suppliers who meet the highest benchmark for sustainable wild-capture seafood.
