Entain has published its 2022/2023 environmental, social and governance (ESG) report, which outlines the performance of the company over the past year in hitting its sustainability and growth goals.
Since Entain’s latest ‘Entain Sustain’ event in London in late 2022, which Gambling Insider attended, the industry giant has given another update on its progress and how it is implementing its self-imposed sustainability charter.
The businesses’ sustainability charter is comprised of four main pillars: focusing on regulated markets, improving responsible betting and gaming, ensuring well-run corporate governance and investing in local communities.
In the report, Entain highlighted that 100% of its revenue now comes from domestically regulated or regulating markets, as well as the fact that it exited nine other markets that had ‘no clear path’ to regulation.
Meanwhile, it is now contributing 1% of its gross gaming yield (GGY) to the research, education and treatment of problem gambling.
Entain also revealed that 33% of its board is now female, with a new board diversity policy in place – while it stated that it had made ‘further progress’ in closing the gender pay gap.
Jette Nygaard-Andersen, Entain’s CEO, commented on the report: “Over the past year, we have continued to make great progress in setting the standards for our industry in all areas of ESG, across all of our operations.
“We are proud to lead the industry in providing the safest possible betting and gaming platform, taking a leading role in supporting the communities in which we operate, reducing our environmental impact and in doing so, making Entain the best place to work for all of our people. By delivering on this ambition, we will create long-term, sustainable growth for all of our stakeholders.”
