Ireland.- The European Lotteries (EL) association launched a new program aimed at reducing greenhouse gas emissions in its members' operations. With this commitment, the lotteries seek to reaffirm their position as a sector leader in sustainability.
The announcement, which was made during the EL/WLA Sustainability and Responsible Gaming Seminar in Dublin, "reflects EL's commitment to leading environmental change in the lottery industry," the organization conveyed. With this new approach, EL aims not only to actively reduce its members' emissions but also to set measurable goals and promote sustainable practices that contribute to the fight against climate change.
During the meeting, EL also presented some updated Sustainability Guidelines, fully aligned with global standards. The organization explained that they will serve as a roadmap for members to integrate sustainability into all aspects of their operations, from responsible supply chains to player protection.
"Our goal is to lead with a proactive approach in the fight against climate change. The new guidelines ensure that EL members continue to be pioneers in environmental and social responsibility," stated Romana Girandon, president of EL.
