Kindred commits to Paris Agreement climate change measures
Kindred Group has committed to reduce business travel by 30% to help reach energy saving targets set by the Paris Agreement on climate change.
The operator has aligned itself with the agreement’s energy targets, which aims to limit the global temperature rise below 2°C, with an ambition to further limit it to less than 1.5°C.
Along with cutting business travel, targets include sourcing 100% renewable electricity by 2023, where the Unibet-owned operator can, and reducing 85% of direct and indirect greenhouse gas emissions by the same period, from a 2018 base year.
The operator also alluded to the fact it’s an all digital company and targets to reduce greenhouse gas emissions are science-based, thus necessary to meet the goals of the Paris Agreement.
Kindred Group CEO Henrik Tjärnström, said: “We know that businesses have an important role to play in fighting climate change and we are committed to doing our bit for the planet.
“Our science-based carbon-reduction targets focus on cutting carbon emissions across our data centres, offices and business travel activities. They are also linked to our 2023 ambition to procure 100% of our electricity from renewable sources of energy where we can.”
In July, Kindred reported an 8% year-on-year rise in gross gaming revenue (GGR) for H1 2020, up to £484.8m ($627.4m).
