At CEM, we understand we play an essential role on our society well being, and so we are committed to make a meaningful contribution to the local community. Being aware of our corporate citizenship responsibility, we involve ourselves with a wide and diverse range of charitable activities, providing financial and other kinds of support to help the less fortunate of our society. In 2007, CEM sponsored and made donations of almost MOP1.4 million to support various initiatives such as art & cultural events, sports activities, social solidarity, conferences, exhibitions, and educational programmes.

Sports Activities

Recently Macau has been pledging to promote the development of the sports activities by hosting a series of important sports events in the Territory. It is our quest to support and encourage such kind of initiatives, as they attract great media interest and coverage, and are important not only for the development of the local sport associations and sportsmen, but, also to promote and reinforce Macau’s regional and international image. Following we introduce some of the events that we have sponsored in 2007:

• International Dragon Boat Competition, promoted by Sports Development Board
• Macau Golf Open 2007, promoted by Sports Development Board
