Shaping our sustainable future
Pioneering safer gambling solutions | Partnering on shared societal challenges |
Promoting integrity and an inclusive culture | Powering action for positive environmental impact |
Our commitment to sustainability underpins our strategic priorities and supports our customers' success in regulated markets. Central to this commitment is our safer gambling technology, services, and partnerships, which help raise industry standards while delivering a safer, more sustainable entertainment experience.
Our sustainability strategy is a key enabler in delivering our Company's strategic priorities and aligns with our corporate purpose, embedding sustainability into our operations and decision-making processes to create value for both society and the Company.
Our sustainability governance structure
Our Board-level Sustainability and Compliance Committee is responsible for overseeing and reviewing the Group's ESG considerations and status of compliance with laws, regulations, and internal procedures. This includes the approval of sustainability and compliance related policies, external disclosures as well as compliance with evolving regulatory developments and licensing requirements. The day-to-day responsibility for sustainability governance sits with the Sustainability and Corporate Affairs team. In practice, this function coordinates action, provides subject matter expertise, delivers support to other relevant functions, business units and country-level management, tracks performance and leads engagement and third-party partnerships.
Our sustainability approach
We have refreshed our review of Playtech's social and environmental impact, and the issues that are most important to our stakeholders. This is the basis for our framework for action, which has four priority areas:
Pioneering safer gambling solutions
Partnering on shared societal challenges
Promoting integrity and an inclusive culture
Powering action for positive environmental impact
Our Sustainability progress
The most impactful contribution Playtech can make to the industry and in society is to advance safer gambling and player protection technology.

We are proud of the meaningful progress we have made since 2020. Over the past five years, we have strengthened responsible gambling technology and services, reduced our carbon footprint, enhanced supply chain integrity and improved female representation amongst leadership.
