Entain achieves the Carbon Trust Standard for Carbon

Entain plc (LSE: ENT), the global sports-betting and gaming group, is pleased to announce that it has achieved the Carbon Trust Standard for Carbon, reducing CO₂ year on year for its UK operations, reflecting its commitment to sustainability through governance, carbon accounting, and carbon management.

Entain began working with the Carbon Trust in 2020 to advance its efforts to reduce the Group’s environmental impact and verify its emissions disclosures. Having achieved the Carbon Trust Standard for Carbon in the UK, Entain will continue to work with the Carbon Trust to certify its global operations.

“We all need to play our part to address the challenge of climate change and at Entain, we are committed to leading the industry to help build a sustainable future. Achieving the Carbon Trust Standard for Carbon is an important recognition of the progress we have made to date and we are determined to continue our efforts to minimise our environmental impact.”
