ESG Strategy

Our sustainability strategy is summarised on the following page and outlines our aspirations to make a positive impact through responsible business and products; supporting our community, nurturing our people and reducing our environmental footprint. The strategy is tailored to the specific elements of our business.

To deliver on our sustainability strategy, we have mapped some key goals and targets against four focus areas, which are aligned with the United Nations (UN) Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs).

The United Nations adopted Sustainable Development Goals in 2015 that are intended to provide a blueprint for dignity, peace and prosperity for people and the planet.  

The Lottery Corporation supports the UN SDGs – and our sustainability principles are aligned with the SDGs.

Acting responsibly to reduce our impact on the environment. 

The Lottery Corporation does not consider that it has a material exposure to environmental risks given the nature of its business.

However, it recognises that climate change is a significant challenge globally as well as for the communities in which we operate. Notwithstanding that our carbon footprint is relatively small, we are committed to reducing our greenhouse gas emissions over time. 

Goal 8 – Plan to reach net zero emissions by 2030.

Goal 9 - Reduce the environmental impacts from our supply chain​.

Goal 10 - Reduce paper usage and increase recycling across our business operations​.
