Key themes include:

  1. How you manage your environmental impact to have a positive influence on the planet which your stakeholders, regulators and customers will love.

  1. Values-based approach to your work to foster your people, culture, and products to have positive social impact in communities in which you work and society at large.

  1. Strengthen your corporate governance work, particularly around safer gambling and ESG Reporting.

Nigel Birrell, CEO of Lottoland commented: “We are pleased to be the primary sponsor of Gibraltar’s first industry-wide gaming and gambling conference. ESG is central to not only how we operate externally but also how we behave and engage with our people. We are looking forward to hearing what other industry experts are doing in this field and also sharing the journey that we have been on.” Other sponsors and exhibitors include Hassans, Gibtelecom, Crucial Compliance, nChain and RiskScreen.

The event is already gathering broad interest and, with gambling conferences taking place regularly around the World, the Ethical Gambling Forum hopes to put Gibraltar on the conference map, along with the well established KPMG e-Gaming Summit.
