Lottery company Allwyn has committed itself to become a net-zero carbon company by 2030 or earlier.
The company announced of its goals to become first net-zero lottery company along with taking pledge by signing the Planet Mark Zero Carbon Commitment.
As per Gambling Insider, Sir Keith Mills, Allwyn Chairman, said: “Combating climate change is the issue of our generation. Every human activity creates carbon emissions – even buying a lottery ticket. Addressing that, achieving net-zero is not someone else’s problem, it is everyone’s responsibility. The business has a vital role to play.”
The operator has agreed to abide by United Nations’ Race to Zero as it attempts to gain UK National Lottery licence for the fourth time.
Steve Malkin, Planet Mark Founder and CEO, added: “We are delighted Allwyn are making a net-zero commitment with the UN-backed Race to Zero campaign, the world’s largest coalition of organisations committed to reducing their carbon emissions across all scopes in line with the Paris Climate Agreement. No matter what stage a business is at on its net-zero journey, from setting a baseline, to a target, to creating the action plan needed to get there, Planet Mark is here to support all the way and we’re looking forward to supporting Allwyn on that journey”, reported Gambling Insider.
