ESG in education: how Meridianbet prepares young people for the future
Faced with an increasingly competitive job market and with technological skills being indispensable in the curriculum of new corporate players, Meridianbet bets on the power of education and awareness in the area to generate real opportunities for young people who are starting their entry into the professional space.
With this, the Meridianbet Foundation scholarship program is formed to identify talent in the countries where the organization operates and remove the financial barriers required in order to offer training in line with the requirements of the new world economy.
Therefore, in addition to financial support, scholarship holders who are part of the campaign have access to content and practical experiences in the areas of:
-Digital marketing;
-Game development;
-Artificial intelligence and predictive modeling;
-ESG reporting and regulatory compliance;
-People management and organizational culture.
It is worth noting that all the branches mentioned above are part of the Meridianbet culture, which seeks to invest massively in a better experience for its users in the area of sports betting and casino games through the use of technology.
No wonder, the company is the first in Southeast Europe to receive Oracle recognition, for its AI-driven approach to customer engagement, automation, and scalable marketing solutions.
This integrated approach brings the academic environment closer to the job market, preparing young people to work in sectors such as iGaming, fintech, and digital infrastructure, in which the organization actively participates and is able to offer an integrated experience for project participants.
In addition, Meridianbet has expanded the performance of its ESG initiatives across Europe, Africa and Latin America in the last two years. With educational scholarships awarded in cities such as Belgrade, Bogotá, Lagos, Lima, and Nairobi.
It is important to understand the care that the foundation takes for the entry of its campaigns in each region. In this way, the program is adapted to the particularities of local education systems, but with a globally relevant support that Meridianbet has mastered with its more than 20 years of history.
In other words, its actions are structured in partnership with universities, technical schools and community organizations. This ensures that academic support is inclusive, efficient, and high-impact in all active territories.
Its educational programs are also aligned with the UN Sustainable Development Goals, especially SDG 4 (Quality Education) and SDG 17 (Partnerships for the Goals).
Results that prove Meridianbet's ESG commitment
In 2024 alone, Meridianbet recorded significant numbers in its social performance. They are:
-293 structured social responsibility actions;
-5,027 hours of community engagement by employees;
-More than 18 thousand direct and indirect beneficiaries;
-Donations for school infrastructure and full scholarships.
These results reinforce Meridianbet's positioning as a company that sees education as the basis for a fairer, more inclusive and digitally prepared future.
Educational support combined with citizenship and sustainability
In addition to the search for actions for academic training adapted to the new demands of the labor market, the Meridianbet Foundation is a reference in ESG in education and encourages student engagement in social and environmental initiatives.
Therefore, the scholarship holders of the projects organized by the organization also actively participate in campaigns focused on:
-Urban reforestation and revitalization of public spaces;
-Recycling campaigns and plastic waste reduction;
-Support for NGOs that serve children, the elderly and people with disabilities
-Initiatives such as "Stop Violence Against Women" and inclusive sports.
This connection between knowledge and social responsibility reinforces Meridianbet's vision that education goes beyond individual benefit — it is a tool for collective transformation.
In this context, it is worth noting that, in 2024 alone, the Meridianbet Foundation organized almost 300 new projects focused on humanitarian and social causes. In the first quarter of 2025 alone, this pace accelerated with 80 new proposals for long-term sustainable impact.
Among the recent outstanding actions, the Meridianbet Foundation also partnered in 2024 with the largest humanitarian foundation in Bosnia and Herzegovina, with a focus on donations to health institutions, starting with Zenica, followed by Tuzla and Bihac.
In the cultural sphere, the foundation has launched a major global campaign with the aim of supporting and promoting reading habits in local communities. In addition, the organization's employees have actively contributed by donating books that marked their lives to cultural centers in their respective regions.
The organizational goal is to continue to enrich regional libraries, support education from the grassroots, and encourage the habit of reading, especially for underserved communities.
