Advancing Sustainability

Lowering Carbon Emissions

In late 2023, Playtech submitted its science-based targets to the Science Based Targets initiative (SBTi) for validation and achieved formal approval in February 2024. This milestone marked the successful completion of their goal to secure SBTi approval for its near-term and net zero targets. These newly approved targets will supersede Playtech’s previous commitments to reduce its Scope 1 and 2 (location-based) carbon footprint by 40% by the end of 2025, using a 2018 baseline.

During 2024, Playtech continued to its transition to renewable electricity in the key markets where the company operates, with 58.3% of the company’s total energy consumption now coming from renewable sources.

Reducing Resource Consumption & Waste

To play their part in addressing food waste, Playtech partnered with the environmental charity, Hubbub, to launch their fourth employee engagement campaign on ‘Fighting Food Waste’, encouraging colleagues around the globe to implement changes that help combat food-related waste.

As part of this campaign, a number of employees participated in a recent ‘Sustainable Living: Let’s Get Cooking’ event. This initiative aimed to equip employees in practical ways to minimize food waste; from utilizing vegetable off-cuts, to maximizing shelf life and encouraging plant-based recipes.

In 2024, Playtech prioritized the reduction of food-related waste, emphasizing the value of sustainability across their offices. Small changes to habits like bringing in lunch from home can have a big impact on the environment and potentially lead to other long term behavioral changes.

Strengthening Diversity, Equity, Inclusion & Belonging

Strengthening Employee DEIB

Playtech set out to create an environment where every individual would feel motivated and inspired. Over the years, they’ve nurtured talent from diverse backgrounds. Together, they have propelled Playtech to its current position with the technical knowledge, creativity, innovation and commitment to exceptional customer service.

Playtech’s people strategy is governed by their Global People Framework – from recruitment and onboarding through to personal and professional development, wellbeing and our diversity, equality and inclusion strategy, where every colleague has the same opportunity, regardless of background, culture, beliefs, gender, ethnicity, or any other attribute.

Playtech made a commitment to increase female representation in leadership positions to 35% by 2025. In February 2025, Playtech was included in the ninth annual FTSE 350 Women Leaders Review. Playtech ranks first within its sector and is one of the FTSE 350 companies that have already met or exceeded the target for Women in Leadership ahead of the target year, with 47% of its leadership positions (defined as Executive Committee and direct reports) held by women.

Investing in Communities

Addressing Community Needs Through Partnerships

A guiding principle for Playtech’s philanthropic and volunteering activities is collaboration through partnerships. Playtech’s social impact efforts focus on a wide range of themes, including mental health, digital wellbeing and safer gambling, as well as humanitarian causes, and supporting colleagues and communities in crisis.

Playtech recognizes the significance of addressing the concerns that matter most to their stakeholders and industry. One of the most material areas of focus is how best to reduce gambling-related harm and promote positive digital wellbeing. The delivery of our healthy online lives and digital wellbeing program displays our commitment to finding solutions and making a meaningful impact within the industry.

Playtech’s Global Community Investment Program is designed to support and encourage employees to contribute their time, skills, money and, most importantly, passion to make a positive social impact in their communities. By building a strong and enduring network with local charities and social enterprises, Playtech explores how to positively contribute to societal challenges.
