The Gaming Industry's Commitment to ESG
Leading Responsibly to Meet New Expectations
Across all industries, stakeholder expectations are rising. The public is increasing its demands for businesses to provide greater transparency, accountability and engagement in responding to critical social and environmental priorities. In response, many companies are establishing Environmental, Social, and Governance (ESG) strategies and launching new initiatives to implement them.
An evolution of traditional corporate social responsibility (CSR), ESG adds critical accountability through transparent targets and goal setting, frequent measurement, monitoring and reporting and alignment to formal standards and global benchmarks.
Recently, the AGA conducted the first-ever industry-wide assessment of member initiatives and investments related to ESG issues. While AGA members are following different paths toward instituting formal ESG strategies and programs, they are taking concrete action now to protect the planet, create more diverse, inclusive workplaces, better their communities and demonstrate responsible leadership.

“This is just the beginning for gaming and ESG. Working with our members, the AGA will expand our industry’s positive impact, defining new ways to help gaming lead responsibly and create greater value.”
