action
LONDON, Jan. 30,
2023 /PRNewswire/ -- International Game Technology

score in climate change from global environmental non-profit CDP,
recognizing IGT for demonstrating improved environmental
disclosure and performance. IGT received a higher-than average
score compared to other information technology and software
