Wynn’s energy procurement and renewable strategy in North America is led by the Chief Sustainability Officer.
A I N I N G Energy management programs are executed at our resorts by Engineering and Facilities teams along with Design and Development teams.
Engineering professionals are required to maintain the latest certif icates and regular training on job functions to maintain an operational facility.
A Utility Manager is dedicated to daily and monthly eff iciency analysis that accounts for weather and building occupancy.
Using a sophisticated energy submetering system, our Facilities team can adjust operations for optimization and safety.
Wynn reports direct and indirect emissions for our resort properties in North America.
We apply the Environmental Protection Agency’s definitions of scope emissions in determining operations that fall within direct and indirect categories.
Operational emissions from Wynn Sports Interactive and Wynn Aviation are also included in our 2021 disclosure.
Our emissions reporting recognizes the guidance and principles of The Greenhouse Gas Protocol’s Corporate Accounting and Reporting Standard in our reporting program.
O R Y Wynn accounts for annual emissions based on activities within its operational control and presents f indings at a regional or property basis for clarity.
Data collection relies on fuel reports from internal operations and third parties.
For the calculation of equivalent emissions, Wynn uses the Environmental Protection Agency’s most recent Emission Factors for Greenhouse Gas Inventories.
N E V A D A We approach risks of climate change in two ways: adapt to the challenges present today and mitigate adverse effects for the future.
We apply this approach to water conservation at all our resorts, especially at Wynn Las Vegas.
Water scarcity is a contributing factor to our operational resilience in southern Nevada.
Resiliency in our operations includes resource consumption practices that enhance future access to vital resources in our community.
To adapt to today’s challenges, we collaborate on water conservation goals with local authorities, the Southern Nevada Water Authority, and other stakeholders.
To support our community’s response to the emergency water shortage in engaged member of the Southern Nevada Water Authority’s Water Stewardship Executive Roundtable series.
Wynn Las Vegas has aligned with goals to increase water retention within the southern Nevada water basin by seeking technologies and methods to help reduce consumptive water use in our operations.
Wynn Las Vegas monitors and minimizes water usage in our resort, with an ultimate goal of reducing consumptive water use.
At Wynn Las Vegas, we are committed to smart and drought-tolerant landscaping to reduce water use on property.
We collect soil moisture measurements daily using a digital moisture meter, which feeds into a smart meteorological system that then disperses minimal water based on precipitation, temperature, and other specific weather conditions.
Water evaporation and runoff are minimized through precise drip outdoor irrigation systems.
We consistently seek new opportunities to use water more efficiently and report our water consumption annually.
Water consumption in Wynn Las Vegas has reduced by 16 percent since 2019.
A R G E To support our goal of increasing clean water kept within the southern Nevada and Massachusetts water systems, Wynn keeps hazardous materials and excessive chemicals from wastewater discharged to sewage.
Wynn Las Vegas collects yellow grease on-site, which is then sent off-site to be recycled into biodiesel.
Brown grease is also collected on-site and treated off-site as a hazardous material.
At Encore Boston Harbor, used cooking oil is collected for recycling into renewable heating oil.
Chemical free cleaning products are used facility-wide, reducing the amount of chemicals in water discharge.
In building Encore Boston Harbor, Wynn Resorts designed a resort that would strengthen the location’s environmental resilience to f looding.
• Encore Boston Harbor was built along the bank of the Mystic River with structures designed to withstand risks from 100-year f loods.
• In designing the surrounding landscape of the resort, coastal lawn areas were created where water can be directed during f looding events.
This provides a buffer against f looding to roadways, resort facilities, and neighboring buildings.
• Encore Boston Harbor’s construction of the living shoreline incorporated guidance from the Mystic River Watershed Association to provide a buffer against f looding and improve the river’s ecosystem.
• Encore Boston Harbor also captures and stores rainwater using a rainwater collection system.
This system allows landscaping and horticulture operations to consume less municipal water.
The availability of water as a resource varies among the regions of our resort operations.
We assess water risk using the World Resources Institute Water Stress Map.
The World Resources Institute’s Aqueduct tool considers all relevant aspects such as quantity, quality, and accessibility of water.
In regions where an increased level of risk is identif ied, we prioritize specialized measures to responsibly allocate our water use by investing in water-smart facility machinery, integrating weather monitoring, expanding water recycling opportunities, and reducing external water intake.
A T W Y N N L A S V E G A S Wynn Las Vegas maximizes waste diversion from the landfill using a single-stream recycling program that hand-sorts waste on-site.
By partnering with external waste management experts and trained recyclers on-site and off-site, Wynn achieves higher diversion rates than using traditional guestfacing recycling bins.
The waste management program is facilitated internally by the Stewarding and Public Areas teams, who collect waste and direct materials to be sorted on-site by our trained waste management partners.
The trained waste managers from RENUoil of America track the various waste streams sent to compost, recycling, reclamation, or landfill.
The largest-scale and most sensitive waste materials on-site are kept from the landfill through partnerships that reuse, refurbish, repurpose, compost, or prepare materials to be recycled.
Wynn Las Vegas has developed programs that target the most impactful materials and expanded access to specialty recycling and composting facilities.
Department leaders across the company educate their teams on special recycling efforts, communicate waste reduction goals, and report quantitative metrics from their activities to the Sustainability team.
I O N S Many groups that host meetings at Wynn Las Vegas also promote sustainability values within their own corporate operations.
To support these shared values, Wynn Las Vegas provides meetings and convention clients with event waste management that can reach up to rates.
Services also include community food donation and hot meal recovery to local food banks and charitable organizations.
In two successful conventions that provided convention clients with high waste diversion rates.
In a pilot program to keep personal protective equipment (PPE) from ending up in the landfill.
We offered complimentary face masks to all guests to support COVID-standards and sent PPE to special facilities that repurpose masks into construction material.
This program continued through 271 pounds of personal protective equipment.
N H A R B O R Encore Boston Harbor achieved in 2020 and 2021 through our comprehensive waste management program that utilizes local infrastructure to employ recycling, composting, and incineration as alternatives to landfill.
I N G S T R A T E G Y Our responsible purchasing practices include buying in bulk with less packaging, using long-lasting or material-eff icient products, seeking compostable materials as alternatives to plastic, and prioritizing reusable instead of disposable items.
Encore Boston Harbor was awarded LEED Platinum certif ication for New Building Design and Construction in 2019.
