International Game Technology (IGT) has been recognized in the 2023 All-Index report of the All-In Diversity Project (AIDP). The AIDP, a non-profit organization focused on the gaming sector, assesses diversity, equity and inclusion in the global gambling industry.
IGT achieved a high score in the fourth annual edition of this benchmark survey. Among the 29 participating companies from around the world in this year’s AIDP All-Index, IGT secured third place overall for the second year running, reflecting its “Sustainable Play” initiatives.

“The 2023 All-Index results demonstrate IGT’s leadership and progress in fostering a diverse, equitable and inclusive workplace,” said Brian Blake, IGT Vice President, Diversity, Equity & Inclusion.
“Our high-ranking score reflects our dedication to company-wide initiatives such as internal inclusion learning, employee-led Diversity and Inclusion Groups (DIGs), and regional councils to help ensure that our employees can thrive in a more successful organization.”
The All-Index report, developed in collaboration with the Center for Diversity Policy Research and Practice at Oxford Brookes University in the UK, monitors the sector’s progress in the areas of diversity, equality and inclusion every year. It covers aspects such as corporate governance, recruitment practices, equal pay, employment legislation and company benefits.
In addition, this year’s report highlights initiatives and programs adopted by leading organizations, serving as a reference for companies wishing to improve their diversity, equity and inclusion (DEI) practices.

“In our fourth year of running the All-Index report, IGT has again proven the power of measuring DEI efforts,” said Kelly Kehn, Co-Founder of the All-In Diversity Project. “We thank them for their continued support and transparency in sharing their data, practices, and policies so that everyone in gaming and betting sectors may benefit. IGT’s leadership is definitely a driving factor in creating a more diverse and inclusive industry.”
According to IGT, since the founding of the Office of Diversity & Inclusion (now the Office of Diversity, Equity & Inclusion) in 2018, a series of diversity-oriented actions have been implemented, including:
- Implementing more inclusive and equitable hiring processes.
- Offering benefits to accommodate visible and invisible disabilities.
- Commitment to working with and providing reasonable accommodations for people with disabilities.
- Establishing and supporting employee-led and executive-sponsored Diversity and Inclusion Groups.
- Facilitating mandatory and elective employee training courses that help support IGT’s diversity, equity, inclusion, sustainability, and anti-harassment commitments.
