The Company obtained a score of A-, placing IGT in the Leadership Band and improving its 2016 score of B. In 2017, CDP increased the requirements necessary for corporations to receive Leadership status, making the program more competitive than in previous years.
IGT's A- score demonstrates the effectiveness of IGT's sustainability initiatives, and confirms that the company's efforts are in line with the Paris Agreement goals set in 2015 to limit global warming. While a Management score indicates that a company is taking coordinated action on climate change issues, a Leadership score shows that a company has implemented current best practices.
"This recognition, in addition to our
improved score, demonstrates IGT's commitment to continuous improvement, and is
especially significant given that CDP has made its requirements more
stringent," said Robert K. Vincent, IGT Executive Vice President,
Administrative Services and External Relations.
"At the same time that we're celebrating this achievement, we are
continuing to seek more ways to reduce emissions and energy consumption across
our global business," Vincent added.
