Scientific Games (SG), a prominent company in the fields of analytics, technology, digital, and retail games, has made a significant announcement. They have appointed Andrew Jackson as the new Vice President of Environmental, Social, and Governance (ESG). This appointment signals SG's commitment to strengthening its ESG efforts and promoting sustainability across the globe.
As the VP of ESG, Andrew Jackson will play a crucial role in the development of strategic ESG initiatives for SG. His responsibilities include monitoring and streamlining various projects that align with SG's global goals, such as minimizing environmental impact, empowering employees and partners, and promoting responsible play and lottery literacy.
SG's journey towards enhancing its ESG initiatives began in 2022 when it became an independent company, allowing it to focus more on the lottery industry. This shift has enabled SG to make significant changes to its operations and prioritize sustainability.
Currently, SG is renowned as the largest developer and manager of instant lottery games globally. The company is not only a leader in the lottery sector but also in sports betting, offering technology, loyalty programs, and solutions. Annually, SG's partners contribute billions of dollars to various charity programs while advocating responsible gambling.
Andrew Jackson brings a wealth of expertise and experience in ESG to his new role. He has a diverse background, including experience in engineering, and has been with SG since 1999. Before becoming VP of ESG, Jackson served as the Director of Quality, Compliance, and Research & Development (R&D) at SG's instant game production and technology facility in the UK.
Dena Rosenzweig, SG's Chief Legal Officer, commended Andrew Jackson's extensive knowledge of sustainability and expressed confidence in his ability to lead SG into a new era of responsible growth. She believes that Jackson's guidance will enable SG's ESG programs to have a positive impact on communities and industries worldwide.
In November, SG demonstrated its commitment to responsible gambling by supporting the National Council on Problem Gambling's annual Gift Responsibly campaign for the sixth consecutive year.
