Ensuring sustainable use of resources

The intensive exploitation of natural resources, whether raw materials, packaging, or water, is a major driver of pressure on ecosystems. In response to rising global demand and resource scarcity, a transformation of production and consumption models is necessary.

Our ambitions regarding resource preservation

Responsible resource management, a cross-cutting pillar of our environmental policy, is reflected in the following commitments:

  • Reducing waste generation and improving waste recovery across all our sites and activities.
  • Improving the environmental performance of the materials and packaging we use.
  • Managing our water consumption effectively.

These actions reflect our ongoing commitment to limiting our impact on ecosystems and enhancing our overall environmental performance.

Waste Management

Waste management, which affects greenhouse gas emissions, natural habitats and their ecosystems, as well as the availability of resources (such as oil, metals, and wood), is a key issue fully integrated into our environmental policy. To reduce the negative impacts of waste on the environment, we have defined an approach based on two main objectives:

  • Reducing waste generation at source.
  • Increasing waste recovery, particularly through recycling.

In line with the waste treatment hierarchy, we prioritize prevention, reuse, and recycling over other forms of recovery or disposal.
Our approach is structured around regulatory compliance, traceability of waste streams, and ongoing employee awareness-raising around a “zero waste” mindset. In addition, we have developed action plans aimed at reducing the use of single-use products, in line with the Group’s guidelines on responsible purchasing and material optimization.

For example, our scratch cards, lottery tickets, and paper receipts are all 100% recyclable.

  • 6,509 tons of recycled or reused waste in 2024

  • 2,278 tons of waste sent to landfill

  • 1,355 tons of waste incinerated with energy recovery

  • No waste incinerated without energy recovery

  • 193 tons of waste disposed of by other methods (including composting)

Material and packaging

We are committed to reducing the environmental impact of the materials used for our paper games, particularly paper and transport/logistics packaging, as our games are not sold in individual packaging. To this end, we apply eco-design principles to limit the use of resources and prioritize responsible materials.

We have thus committed to using FSC® certified paper for all our paper games. This label helps reduce the environmental impact of logging by promoting diversity of tree species and ensuring protection of soil, flora, and fauna in forests.

Efforts are also underway to reduce plastic use in our operations, lower the paper weight of our gaming materials by identifying sustainable alternatives, and limit non-essential promotional packaging.

  • 878 tons of wood fiber or paper-based materials used in 2024

  • 55 tons of plastic packaging used in 2024

  • 99 % recyclable

  • 3 % compostable

  • 3 % made with recycled content

Water resources

We are committed to managing our water consumption and reducing our water footprint across our entire operational scope. The responsible use of this essential resource is part of a broader approach focused on efficiency and continuous improvement.

In addition to the annual monitoring of water consumption across all our buildings, we conducted an in-depth analysis in 2024 on our main sites to identify areas most affected by water stress, so we could locally adapt our practices.

  • 101 600 m³ of water consumed in 2024

Climate

Reducing our carbon footprint across the entire value chain

Climate change represents a major global challenge, requiring urgent and ambitious action to limit greenhouse gas emissions. International commitments, such as the Paris Agreement, call for capping global warming at 1.5°C in order to mitigate the associated environmental and social impacts.

Biodiversity

Making a positive contribution to biodiversity preservation

The sustainable management of natural living resources and the conservation of biodiversity are essential to ensure the long-term viability of ecosystems on which both human life and economic activity depend. We recognize the need to adopt sustainable practices in managing natural resources and to actively contribute to ecosystem restoration, by aligning our actions with the Kunming-Montreal Global Biodiversity Framework and the French National Biodiversity Strategy.
