ESG Governance

Lottomatica has strengthened the path geared toward the integration of sustainability in all corporate dimensions, ensuring control over the ESG strategy and its related plan through a governance distributed among the internal stakeholders involved 

Sustainability governance consists of four organizational levels: the Board of Directors, the Board’s internal ESG Committee, the ESG Management OperationsCommittee, and the departments most involved in specific sustainability topics. To these is added the figure of the ESG Officer, with responsibility for coordinating and overseeing the implementation of the Sustainability Plan activities
