Five Pillars of Corporate Responsibility
Scientific Games’ sustainability strategy is organised around five areas:
- Benefiting communities: supporting social and educational initiatives.

- Responsible gaming: research and player protection initiatives through Healthy Play®.
- Environmental stewardship: waste reduction, energy efficiency and sustainable materials.
- Business integrity: transparency, cybersecurity and responsible corporate practices.
The company aims to integrate these principles across its products, operations and partnerships with lottery organisations.
Responsible Gaming Research Involving Over 3,400 Participants
One of the report’s major achievements was the completion of Scientific Games’ fourth National Responsible Gaming Study.
The research involved a nationally representative sample of 3,405 US adults, alongside additional studies conducted across nine states.
The findings will help lottery organisations develop evidence-based player protection strategies tailored to their communities.
Scientific Games also established an internal Responsible Gaming Working Group to strengthen coordination and implementation across its international operations.
Its Healthy Play® programme remains central to promoting responsible participation and improving the information available to lottery players.
91% of Waste Recycled or Recovered
In environmental performance, Scientific Games reported generating approximately 12,200 metric tonnes of waste during 2025.
Of this total, 91% was recycled or processed through energy recovery initiatives.
The company also expanded emissions monitoring and product life cycle assessments.
These initiatives form part of its strategy to improve operational efficiency and reduce the environmental impact associated with manufacturing and distributing lottery products.
Renewable Electricity and Reusable Packaging
Scientific Games’ facilities in Leeds and Warrington, United Kingdom, began using electricity sourced entirely from renewable generation, supported by Renewable Energy Guarantees of Origin certificates.
The Warrington facility also implemented a packaging reuse initiative.
Through this programme, 60% of cartons received from manufacturing sites were converted into reusable packaging for deliveries to retailers.
The objective is to reduce material consumption and waste associated with logistics operations.
Community Projects in Canada and the United States
The report also highlights several community initiatives.
At its Montréal campus in Canada, Scientific Games operates an urban farm that produced approximately 15 tonnes of fresh fruit and vegetables during 2025.
The harvest helped provide more than 150,000 meals and 2,600 food baskets to vulnerable local residents.
Meanwhile, the company launched the SG Tech Project at its Metro Atlanta headquarters.
The initiative donates refurbished technology devices to local schools, expanding access to educational resources while reducing electronic waste.
Cybersecurity and Employee Development

During 2025, employees completed 14,416 hours of cybersecurity training, supporting the company’s efforts to protect customer information and maintain operational security.
The organisation also refreshed its corporate mission and values through a collaborative process informed by employee feedback.
These initiatives were complemented by investments in professional development, recognition and workplace wellbeing.
