88th percentile amongst evaluated businesses in the
casinos and gaming industry
LONDON, Feb. 27,
2023 /PRNewswire/ -- International Game
Technology PLC ("IGT" or the "Company") (NYSE: IGT) announced today
that it scored in the 88th percentile in the casino and
gaming industry category in the 2022 S&P Global Corporate
Sustainability Assessment (CSA). IGT was one of 69 companies that
were assessed in its category, and the Company particularly
demonstrated strong performance against its peers in environmental
and social reporting and operational eco-efficiency.
"IGT remains committed to advancing the Company's global
sustainability and ESG
initiatives," said Wendy
Montgomery, IGT SVP, Marketing, Communications and
Sustainability. "This improved ranking from S&P Global
provides insight on the impact of our sustainability efforts and
helps IGT remain 'Ahead of the Game' when it comes to
sustainability best practices. This enhanced score reassures our
stakeholders that we continue to demonstrate industry leadership in
global sustainability."
Within S&P's CSA, IGT received an overall ESG score of 52 on
Jan. 20, 2023, an improvement from
its previous assessment. On the basis of their performance,
companies receive rankings for more than 25 financially relevant
sustainability criteria across economic, environmental and social
dimensions.
Since 1999, the CSA and the collaboration with Dow Jones Indices
(now S&P Dow Jones Indices) have been used to create a
leading global sustainability benchmark. The CSA applies
a best-in-class approach, meaning no industries are excluded
from the assessment, and the CSA compares companies across 61
industries. Active participation in the CSA has helped many
companies to stand out as ESG leaders.
