More than 4,000 Las Vegas Sands Team Members and community volunteers participated in the Las Vegas Sands Global Hygiene Build with Clean the World, which was both organizations' largest volunteer effort to date, resulting in the most kits ever built for Clean the World at one time. The build of 200,000 hygiene kits was completed on Sept. 26, 2015.
The global event was underwritten by LVS and also received support from Sysco. LVS and Clean the World have a strong partnership built upon a collective commitment to help people in need while protecting the planet. Since 2011, LVS and Clean the World have recycled more than 50 tons of waste from LVS properties into more than 550,000 bars of soap.

Each hygiene kit contains soap and other hygiene items collected from Clean the World's hospitality partners, including LVS properties globally. Soap is recycled through Clean the World's sanitation and processing equipment and packed with other amenities, such as shampoo, conditioner, a toothbrush and toothpaste, to form individual personal care kits.
The build was held at LVS' Singapore, Macao, Bethlehem & Las Vegas properties sequentially and all within a 24-hour period on Saturday, starting at Marina Bay Sands, LVS' property in Singapore, at 9 a.m. locally and culminating at 6 p.m. Pacific Time in Las Vegas. The effort was part of LVS's global corporate citizenship program, Sands Cares, and its ongoing partnership with Clean the World.
