Welcome to Camelot’s Corporate Responsibility Report 2007
This report tells you how we go about the business of running The National Lottery, and what we do to make sure we raise as much money as we can for Good Causes in an efficient and socially responsible way. It also allows you to check how well we have done in meeting the commitments we made a year ago, and the new targets we’ve set ourselves for 2007/08.
In particular, the report highlights the importance we place on involving all the people we depend on for our success, from public interest groups and employees to our retailers, suppliers, shareholders and, of course, the players and winners themselves.
Our priorities for 2007/08
Responsible play
The success of The National Lottery depends on our continued ability to understand and meet the needs of players while protecting the vulnerable.
Our people & communities
Our commitment to giving something back to the community is one of the reasons we’re rated among the top employers in the UK.
Business relationships
We need strong and trusting relationships with our retailers, suppliers and shareholders to run a successful National Lottery.
Environmental impact
As the first major lottery operator in the world to become carbon neutral, we’re demonstrating the role we can play in tackling climate change and reducing waste.
