Scientific Games has won two 2023 Communitas awards for excellence in corporate social responsibility. The company was recognised for its dedication to environmental and ethical responsibility in its daily operations as well as for an industry-leading commitment to responsible gaming.
The Communitas awards are an international effort to recognise exceptional businesses, organisations and individuals who unselfishly give of themselves and their resources and are changing how they do business to benefit their communities.
Scientific Games won the 2023 Communitas Leadership in Ethical and Environmental Responsibility award for the company’s high ethical standards in all its social, economic and environmental activities. These activities range from stringent game security protocols to inclusive hiring practices and sustainable production methods.
The first lottery provider to earn certifications in Quality Management, Information Security and Anti-Bribery from the International Organisation for Standardisation (ISO), Scientific Games is committed to creating a sustainable future through responsible business practices in the 130 jurisdictions where the company serves lottery customers.
