("Entain", the "Group")
Entain Secures International Standards for Environmental
Management and Occupational Health and Safety
Accreditation comes as Entain is upgraded to AA status by
leading ESG ratings Agency, MSCI
Entain plc (LSE: ENT), the global sports-betting and gaming
group, is pleased to announce that it has achieved the
internationally recognised standards ("ISOs") for environmental
management and occupational health and safety, becoming the first
operator in the betting and gaming industry to do so.
The ISO certification reflects the priority Entain has placed on
creating a 'Best Place to Work' environment, a key element of the
Group's Sustainability Charter . This has been an area of
considerable focus throughout the unprecedented challenges of
Covid-19, with great emphasis put on ensuring the wellbeing of the
Group's 24,000 strong workforce.
Entain is now certified by the British Standards Institute for
ISO 45001 for Health and Safety and ISO 14001 for the Environment
for its UK Retail, Stadia and Office estate. These standards
reflect the Group's successful implementation of systems and
processes to ensure it has an effective environmental management
system ("EMS") and framework to deliver against its objective to
reduce its environmental impact (ISO 14001) and its health and
safety practices protect employees and visitors from work-related
accidents and diseases (ISO 45001).
The accreditation comes in the same week as the leading ESG
ratings agency, MSCI, upgraded Entain to AA status, marking it as a
leader in ESG practices. It is the second consecutive upgrade for
Entain following MSCI's biannual review process, with the Group
having previously moved to A status in September 2020. It also
serves as another demonstration of Entain's strategic focus on
delivering sustainability and growth, an ambition which was
furthered by the Group's recent commitment to become net zero for
carbon emissions by no later than 2035 .
Commenting on the announcement Steve Howells, Entain's Group
Director of HSSE said:
"Achieving these international standards in the same week as our
upgrade to AA status by MSCI is welcome recognition of the rigour
with which we approach ESG and have embedded environmental
management and health and safety throughout our business. More
importantly it reflects our focus on promoting the wellbeing of all
of our colleagues, enabling us to build a culture where behaving
ethically and responsibly runs through the DNA of our
business."
