EL’s Sustainable lottery model embodies a new Environmental Initiative Responsible Gaming Certification became mandatory for the EL membership in 2022 and a CSR-resolution was broadly adopted during the online 2021 General Assembly. The EL Executive Committee is strongly committed to working further on sustainable projects. Diversity, inclusion, and the care for the environment are corner stones to EL’s sustainable lottery model based on subsidiarity, consumer protection and public order. Launched at the 2022 EL Industry Days in Wiesbaden (Germany), EL’s new environmental initiative emphasises again the importance of sustainability in the lottery sector.

With stretched supplies, high inflation, and soring energy prices, this is now more relevant than ever. This Initiative showcased at the recent EL/ WLA CSR-RG seminar in Amsterdam (21-23 September 2022) aims to create a collective dynamic among EL Members on concrete commitments in the environmental field - such as the use of paper coming from certified sustainable forests for gaming products (i.e., scratch tickets), and the regular monitoring of greenhouse gas emissions (i.e., an action plan to reduce carbon emissions).
