Lottomatica Group has been recognized by Morningstar Sustainalytics as an Industry ESG Leader 2026, a qualification awarded annually to companies that rank among the best in managing environmental, social, and governance risks within their respective sectors.
This recognition is part of the Morningstar Sustainalytics ESG Risk Rating framework, an evaluation system that measures a company’s exposure to material ESG risks and its ability to manage them effectively. To qualify for selection, companies must meet rigorous criteria: rank within the top 10th percentile of their industry for ESG Risk Score, achieve a risk category of "Medium," "Low," or "Negligible," avoid involvement in material controversies, and show no exposure to systemic ESG events.
The significance of the recognition
Based on its performance in the ESG Risk Rating within the Sustainalytics universe, Lottomatica Group qualifies as an ESG industry leader for 2026, reflecting strong outperformance relative to its direct competitors. This result highlights the Group's competitive positioning and serves as a significant benchmark for investor communications, sustainability reporting, and broader stakeholder engagement.
How the industry ESG leader badge is awarded
The selection process adopted by Morningstar Sustainalytics is based on a transparent, rule-based methodology that compares companies within the ESG Risk Rating universe across three distinct dimensions: global, industry, and regional. The Industry ESG Leader badge is awarded to entities that, within their industry, rank among those with the lowest level of unmanaged ESG risk, with a maximum limit of 50 companies per sector.
This is not a generic accolade but a precise, evidence-based assessment: candidate companies must demonstrate concrete and effective management of ESG issues relevant to their business model, without showing signs of involvement in significant controversial events.
Lottomatica and sustainability: a multi-level commitment
The recognition from Morningstar Sustainalytics joins other milestones achieved by Lottomatica Group as part of its sustainability strategy, confirming the consistency and solidity of the approach adopted over time. This journey is also reflected in other areas: in recent months, the Group was confirmed as a Top Employer Italy 2026 for the third consecutive year, testifying to a commitment that encompasses environmental and governance dimensions as much as social and human capital.
