    We give priority to four areas of corporate responsibility. Of these, the most important for us are promoting responsible play and reducing our environmental impact.

  • Improving our management Improving our management

    As a company which is serious in its aim to behave responsibly, we are constantly examining ways to improve our performance and management systems.

We want Camelot to be a well-run and responsible company. We work hard to make sure Corporate Responsibility is ingrained at every level of the organisation and that we are able to control and minimise the risks we face as a business. Everyone who works for Camelot has a part to play in protecting our reputation and the good standing of The National Lottery.

This section of the report describes Camelot and how we operate The National Lottery. It also details how we manage Corporate Responsibility and what we do to address our social and environmental impacts.

Our vision for the current Licence period is 'to serve the nation’s dreams through The National Lottery'. To achieve this we have worked a strong set of values in place and worked with our staff to create a set of behaviours which define how everyone in Camelot can bring them to life. Read more about our vision and values.

The way we run The National Lottery is strictly regulated by the National Lottery Commission (NLC). Read more about how we address our Licence responsibilities and how money from the lottery is divided.

Our strategic goal is to maximise returns to the Good Causes in a socially responsible way. Working with our stakeholders, we have developed a clear list of priorities for our CR activities to achieve this goal. Read more about how we established our priorities.

Like any company which is serious about behaving responsibly we are constantly striving to improve our performance and management systems – and actively seeking feedback on how best to do so. Read more about our focus on continued progress.

Effective CR management & governance is means constantly checking that we have the right policies and practices in place; and ensuring that reliable expert advice is available when it is needed. Read more about our approach to managing corporate responsibility.

We are not responsible for distributing the money we raise, but we work closely with the 14 National Lottery Distribution Bodies (NLDBs) which decide where funds are allocated. Read more about Good Causes.
