EL Environmental Initiative | European Lotteries

It aims to to create a collective dynamic among members on concrete commitments in the environmental field, namely, the use of paper coming from certified sustainable forests for gaming materials (i.e., scratch tickets); and the regular monitoring of greenhouse gas emissions (i.e., an action plan to reduce carbon emissions).
