responsibility category on the "World's Most Admired Companies"
list. Sands' comprehensive corporate responsibility initiative is
dedicated to creating positive impact in its host regions and is

To develop the "World's Most Admired Companies" list,
Fortune collaborated with partner Korn Ferry Hay Group on a
corporate reputation survey encompassing candidate companies from
an initial pool of the largest U.S. companies, along with
Fortune's Global 500 database. For the final list of
best-regarded companies in 52 industries, Korn Ferry asked executives, directors and
analysts to rate companies in their own industry on nine criteria,
from investment value and quality of management and products to
social responsibility and the ability to attract talent. To be
listed, a company's score must rank in the top half of its industry
survey.
