International Game Technology PLC announced the release of its 2021 Sustainability Report, which outlines the Company’s demonstrated environmental, social and governance (ESG) performance. IGT’s 15^th annual Sustainability Report validates the Company’s commitment to operating as an industry-leading sustainable business and illustrates its latest achievements in generating value for its stakeholders.

“IGT understood the vast importance of sustainability 15 years ago when we issued the Company’s first Sustainability Report, and our 2021 Sustainability Report underscores the progress we have made since then,” said Vince Sadusky, IGT CEO.“We are developing our sustainability plans to further integrate sustainability across the entire value chain and improve the ESG impact throughout our daily operations. Highlighted in our 2021 Sustainability Report, this plan outlines strategic goals that will drive our ESG performance, now and in the future.”

The latest IGT Sustainability Report demonstrates the Company’s drive to create value for its stakeholders, increase its corporate citizenship and enhance reporting on its activities through four key sustainability priorities: Valuing and Protecting Our People, Advancing Responsibility, Supporting Our Communities, and Fostering Sustainable Operations.

Highlights of the report include:

Valuing and Protecting Our People: IGT values, respects and appreciates the contributions of all employees. The diversity of its workforce and their appreciation for a multicultural work environment contributes to IGT’s understanding of global business needs and builds on IGT’s meaningful relationships with customers and communities.
- IGT issued its first Human Rights Policy Statement which outlines the Company’s belief that promoting sustainable principles begins with respecting the basic rights to which all human beings are entitled. As a global organization, IGT is responsible for promoting human rights and contributing to meaningful change around the world.
- Diversity and inclusion objectives were recently introduced for IGT’s senior leadership team, and in 2021, business unit leaders created action plans related to goals relative to diverse representation on their teams.
Advancing Responsibility: IGT’s commitment to advancing responsibility includes maintaining the integrity of games by ensuring its products and services are fully compliant with existing laws and the protection of all stakeholders’ rights. The Company’s approach to responsible gaming follows goals and commitments that aim to raise the standards of responsible gaming throughout the industry.
- In 2021, IGT released its Global Responsible Gaming Policy to transparently inform all relevant stakeholders about IGT’s worldwide programs and solutions. It was also created to meet or exceed requirements and regulations of responsible gaming in all jurisdictions where IGT operates.

Community involvement and employee engagement initiatives embrace a breadth of causes through corporate giving, corporate sponsorships and employee-driven programs.
- In 2021, IGT’s charitable giving focused primarily on basic needs as the ongoing effects of the COVID-19 pandemic have had lasting impacts in the communities it serves.
Fostering Sustainable Operations: IGT’s sustainability practices involve continual improvement of its environmental management systems and reduction of its impact on the environment.
- In 2021, IGT joined the Science Based Targets initiative, which drives climate action among businesses worldwide. With this commitment, IGT officially pledged to set targets to reduce greenhouse gas emissions, contributing to low-carbon emissions and furthering IGT’s ESG impact.

Infingame, a leading game aggregator, has rolled out major upgrades to its Tournaments and Challenges promotional tools, offering operators advanced ways to engage and retain players.

Instead of introducing new products, Infingame focused on refining its most popular gamification features, enhancing flexibility, performance, and campaign management. These improvements cater to operators increasingly prioritizing long-term player engagement over acquisition.

Enhanced Competitive Tournaments

Infingame’s Tournaments tool transforms regular gameplay into competitive experiences, boosting interaction through real-time progression. Optimized for web and mobile, the tool now allows operators to:

Customize tournaments with brand-specific banners
Segment players for whitelist participation
Add timed promotions like Happy Hours
Select from five tournament formats: bet race, win race, multiplier race, highest multiplier, and highest win

The updated reward system supports monetary and non-monetary prizes, free spins, optional wagering requirements, and automated payouts, reducing operational workload while maintaining campaign flexibility.

Challenges for Mission-Based Engagement

The Challenges tool guides player activity with structured tasks and rewards, creating mission-based engagement journeys. The upgrade enhances flexibility and precision, supporting:

Short-term promotional boosts
Recurring engagement strategies
Daily and long-term challenges for consistent player activity

This approach helps operators sustain engagement across the entire player lifecycle, creating meaningful, repeatable experiences.

Operator-Driven Development

Jana Filagina, Head of Commercial at Infingame, commented:
“The goal wasn’t to reinvent Tournaments and Challenges but to make them more powerful and user-friendly. Operators need tools that drive engagement continuously while keeping operational complexity low.”

Fully integrated into Infingame’s aggregation platform, the updated tools can be deployed instantly across thousands of games via a single API, enabling a unified ecosystem where content, analytics, and engagement mechanics work seamlessly together.

The upgrades reflect a broader industry trend toward gamified, retention-focused strategies, helping operators maximize player activity while simplifying management.
