This Earth Day is a time for reflection on our environmental impact and our actions to help mitigate that impact. In this article, iGaming content provider Play’n GO explains what it has been doing to help our planet thrive.

While this should always be at the forefront of our minds as individuals and as a company, Earth Day gives us a chance to reaffirm our commitment to protecting the planet and reducing any potential harm our operations could have on our shared home in this vast universe.

At Play’n GO, our dedication to eco-friendly practices and sustainability is ingrained in every aspect of our operations, from how we conduct business to the innovative solutions we deploy to mitigate any negative influence on the environment from our entire company wherever possible.

How they align with Earth Day 2024

At the heart of our environmental consciousness is a promise – a promise to our planet, our clients, and ourselves to not only reduce our carbon footprint but to also inspire change within our industry.

Here are some of the ways in which we’re turning our green vision into reality: 

Measuring our carbon footprint 

We have begun measuring our carbon footprint across the following areas; purchased electricity, employee commuting, business travel and outsourced data centres in alignment with the Greenhouse Gas Protocol. 

Carbon offsets and permanent carbon removal

Our dedication to making a real difference is highlighted by our investment in certified carbon offset projects, where a minimum of 90% of our contributions directly fund environmental initiatives. This commitment ensures that our efforts to offset emissions are both meaningful and impactful. Additionally, we have recently added permanent removal of carbon through ‘Climeworks’ to our impact portfolio.

‘Digital First’ innovation

Our Digital First strategy is not just about embracing technology and remote working to benefit us as a company – it’s about leveraging it for the good of the planet, too. This innovative approach has contributed to a year-on-year reduction of indirect emissions (scope 2) by 20% and has put us on the path to reaching net-zero indirect emissions (scope 2), showcasing our ability to exceed our sustainability goals.  

Cloud infrastructure and efficiency

By having committed to cloud infrastructure, we’ve significantly reduced our carbon output. This commitment not only enhances our operational efficiency but also lowers our environmental impact in one of the key emission areas for our industry.

The Race to Net Zero

Echoing the urgency of the global ‘Race to Net Zero’ campaign, we understand that achieving net-zero emissions is not a solo endeavour but a collective race that requires the participation of all industries. Inspired by initiatives like Formula 1’s commitment to net-zero by 2030, we’re motivated to cross the finish line together, emphasizing the power of unity in addressing climate change. 

Sustainable partnerships

In our quest to foster a greener future, we ask all of our new partners whether they currently have a pledge and encourage them to join us in our own which is free after becoming signatories.

After joining, reporting doesn’t start until after a year. This gives partners plenty of time to get accustomed to the pledge which is made even easier with the wealth of resources available through the community. This means that every partner can take part and not have to get involved in complex or expensive frameworks but can still contribute towards a better tomorrow. This collaborative approach amplifies our impact and can encourage a domino effect of environmental responsibility across the industry and beyond.  

Comprehensive eco-friendly measures

Offsetting business travel emissions and prioritising the use of regional event merchandising are just a few examples showcasing our efforts to minimise our carbon footprint. These types of measures not only reduce emissions from shipping but also support local economies, demonstrating our commitment to holistic sustainability. These types of considerations are always at the forefront of our decision-making processes, allowing us to create innovative, eco-friendly measures where needed.  

Making real innovations

Central to our climate pledge is the focus on driving real business innovations that contribute positively to the environment. By embedding sustainability into our business model, we’re not just compensating for appearances but are striving to make a difference through practical and innovative solutions.  

As we celebrate Earth Day, we believe our efforts stand as a testament to what can be achieved when a business commits to the environment wholeheartedly. But there’s always more that can be done. Our journey towards sustainability is ongoing, and each step we take is a step towards a more sustainable planet for every single one of us. We believe that every business, regardless of its industry, has a unique opportunity to contribute to this global cause. It’s about starting somewhere, anywhere, and persistently moving forward.

Together, we can forge a greener, more sustainable future.  We implore our partners and the wider industry to join us in this critical race to net zero wherever possible. Let’s collaborate and pledge to make every day Earth Day.
