Our ESG commitment

Lottomatica's strategy foresees that, in addition to achieving optimal economic performance, the impacts on people and the planet are considered as a prioprity and that sustainability drivers are  fully integrated within its daily business decisions. 

For this reason, the Group laid out and approved an extensive Sustainability Plan based on its ESG (Environmental, Social, Governance) commitments, in order to integrate its business model with specific medium-long term goals capable of generating sustainable value over time, in terms of economic and financial performance, as well as in terms of sustainability performance.

The Sustainability Plan defines the program of projects and initiatives within a solid ESG strategy while achieving a plurality of purposes: 

• to formalize the ESG objectives needed to embark on a pathway of sustainable growth, by establishing guidelines, initiatives, targets, and monitoring activities; 
• to ensure adequate information and communication for the achievement of the sustainability objectives established by the Plan
• to involve and empower all the people of the  Group responsible for the relevance of these issues and activities. 

The strategic pillars of the Sustainability Plan

Lottomatica’s Sustainability Plan is based on three strategic pillars: Responsibility, People, and Community and the Environment.  

These are the three areas of focus in which its corporate sustainability commitments, programmes and objectives are concentrated. Each pillar is therefore substantiated by a series of actions and initiatives that touch upon all the various operating sectors.
