Our 2021/2022 ESG Report

Listen up, the results are in…

For the last year, our incredible teams have been working non-stop to deliver the best in betting, gaming and interactive entertainment for our customers across the globe.

We know, big stuff, right?

Our Environmental, Social and Governance (ESG) agenda is just as important to us as our drive to keep growing every year. And a few weeks ago, we were extremely proud to be shouting about the results of our ESG report for 2021/22, including an update on our Sustainability Charter. The Sustainability Charter is built around four core principles: an exclusive focus on regulated markets; continuing to take the lead on responsible betting and gaming; best in class corporate governance; and investing in our people and local communities. The Report also provides a further update from that provided at Entain:Sustain, in November 2021, the industry first sustainability and ESG focused event.
