development, community investment and more
Caesars Entertainment, Inc. (NASDAQ: CZR), the largest
casino-entertainment company in the U.S., today released its 2023
Corporate Social Responsibility report. The report highlights the
Company’s progress in environmental impact, diversity, equity and
inclusion initiatives, Team Member development, community
investment and more.
“At Caesars Entertainment, we’re committed to continuing to
develop, diversify and achieve our CSR goals,” said Heather Rapp,
SVP of Corporate Social Responsibility for Caesars Entertainment.
“We’ve been in a period of progress as we met and exceeded our
interim emission reduction goals three years ahead of schedule, and
because of that work, we were able to implement new, more ambitious
goals this year. Our success in our environmental impact category
motivates us to keep growing and achieving in our CSR efforts
across the board. We look forward to continuing to grow and make a
difference in the communities where we live, work and play.”
The report details progress in four critical areas for 2023,
including:
- Environmental Impact: After achieving emission reduction
goals three years ahead of schedule in 2022, the Company is
implementing a new greenhouse gas reduction goal of 46.2% by 2030
from a 2019 baseline. Additionally, Caesars finalized several
initiatives in 2023 to improve the carbon profile and overall
environmental impact of CAESARS FORUM, the Company’s
600,000-square-foot convention center in Las Vegas. The new
initiatives include a green cleaning program, monitoring-based
commissioning, which uses data and feedback to ensure major
mechanical systems are operating optimally and a composting
program. These enabled CAESARS FORUM to achieve a Gold-level
certification against the U.S. Green Building Council’s Leadership
in Energy and Environmental Design (LEED) standard.
- Diversity, Equity and Inclusion: In 2023, Caesars held
its first enterprise-wide Business Impact Group (BIG) summit,
inviting leaders from across the country to attend a two-day
workshop in Las Vegas. The summit was an opportunity to evaluate
each BIG’s role within the company, share learnings and best
practices and develop strategies for each group moving forward. The
summit also served as a professional development opportunity for
the leaders who were able to attend.
- Community Investment: The Caesars Makes Change program,
an NRT machine program piloted at one property in 2021, has now
expanded to nearly 40 Caesars Entertainment destinations across the
country. Guests can now donate a portion of their slot cash-out
tickets to a charitable organization. In 2023, this program donated
more than $1.25 million to the Company’s partner organizations,
Meals on Wheels America and Boys and Girls Clubs of America.
- Team Member Support: In 2023, Caesars introduced a
quarterly publication for all salaried Team Members to stimulate
self-development and professional growth. “Leading the Empire” is a
leadership development tool that provides valuable information
about the five pillars of the Company’s leadership framework with
links to additional learning and online resources. By the end of
2023, Company leaders had completed more than 3,100 learning
programs offered through “Leading the Empire,” investing more than
2,300 hours in their self-development.
