888, one of the world's leading online betting and gaming companies, has established a new environment, social and governance (ESG) committee of the board.
The committee will be chaired by non-executive chairman Jon Mendelsohn. Senior independent director Anne de Kerckhove and non-executive director Mark Summerfield will also be members of the committee.
The committee aims to provide "board-level oversight of 888's ESG strategy, targets and progress against key performance indicators."
Mendelsohn said: "As a board, we are committed to ensuring that issues such as safer gambling, the climate change agenda, diversity and inclusion and community engagement are consistently incorporated into the group's strategy and decision making.
“The creation of this committee demonstrates 888's firm commitment to continuous ESG improvements and ensuring sustainable and ethical best practice across the group's activities."
