LAS VEGAS, Jan. 28, 2021 /PRNewswire/ -- Caesars
Entertainment, Inc. ("Caesars Entertainment," "Caesars" or the
"Company"), the largest gaming and entertainment company in the
U.S., today shares prestigious recognition for its leadership and
efforts in corporate social responsibility. In an unprecedented
year with many setbacks, Caesars Entertainment met the challenges
of 2020 with determination and proudly provided support to its Team
Members and communities it serves.
"We often talk about the power our incredible Team Members have
to create guest experiences that drive our lasting successes at
Caesars Entertainment," said Tom
Reeg, CEO of Caesars Entertainment, Inc. "That same
power is amplified in their commitment not just to guests, partners
and the environment, but to each other and to the communities in
which we live and work. It's through the steadfast work, compassion
and generosity of dedicated Caesars Team Members that we can make a
positive impact that continues to grow each year."
Rising 42 slots from the previous year, Caesars now ranks No.
104 on Newsweek's list of "America's Most
Responsible Companies," occupying the top spot in the
Entertainment, Leisure and Dining category. Determined by publicly
available environmental, social and corporate governance (ESG) data
and survey feedback from 7,500 Americans, Newsweek
recognizes Caesars out of a pool of over 2,000 of the country's
largest revenue-generating
corporations.
Awarded for leadership in corporate sustainability by global
environmental non-profit CDP, Caesars secures two
places on the "A-List" for tackling climate change, as well as
addressing water security. As one of a small number of
companies that achieved a double "A," Caesars' score is based on
data submitted to CDP in 2020 and acknowledges the Company's
commitment to significantly reduce Scope 1 and 2 emissions and
water consumption across all destinations throughout the
country.
Additionally, Caesars today received a perfect 100% score
from the Human Rights Campaign Foundation's Corporate
Equality Index for the 14th consecutive year.
Designating Caesars as a "Best Place to Work for LGBTQ Equality,"
the index is a national benchmarking tool on corporate policies and
practices as they pertain to LGBTQ employees, covering criteria
including workplace protection, inclusive benefits, supporting an
inclusive culture and responsible corporate citizenship.
Caesars has also been selected as a "Top 35 Corporation
Star" by the U.S. Pan Asian American Chamber of Commerce
Education Foundation (USPAACC), the most established and most
effective national nonprofit business organization representing the
fastest growing group in the United
States. The honor recognizes Caesars Entertainment's ample
support in the organization's growth and assistance in establishing
USPAACC as a leader in the sector.
This week, the Company concludes the 2020 Virtual Economic
Equity Tour, which was launched by Caesars Foundation and Women's
Business Enterprise National Council – South (WBENC-South) in 2018.
Providing capacity-building and development for local nonprofits as
well as small, locally owned businesses, the Economic Equity Tour
has touched thousands of organizations with informative sessions
focused on nonprofit leadership, financial empowerment, small
business development and more.
Following the recent merger of Caesars Entertainment Corporation
and Eldorado Resorts, Inc., Caesars Entertainment, Inc., in this
newly-expanded network, looks forward to deepening its ongoing
commitment to economic development while improving the quality of
life of Team Members and their families, as well as of the
