Aristocrat Leaisure's Environmental & Sustainability Plan

Anna Meresi Towan asked a question today via Facebook

if you have an airline company, does your company have any environmental sustainability plan or strategy?

if not, does my company have an Enviro plan/Strategy?

Anna - My answer to you is as follows :-

My Company is definitely not an airplane company. However for Aristocrat it means sustainability is about ensuring that their business and their industry has a long-term future – economically, socially and environmentally.

Our sustainability priorities are established at Board level and cascaded throughout the global organisation and expressed in the way we do business every day – our processes, our people and our products.

On page 11 Question 6 of my blog mentions part of this initiative through working closely with industry leaders to promote responsible gaming initiative and support the adoption of evidence based responsible gaming practices and policies.

Sustainable Practices

Aristocrat not only complies with the various environmental laws to which their operations are subject, but also aims to achieve a high standard of environmental performance across all their operations. To reduce their environmental footprint, mitigate regulatory risks and decrease costs, they have implemented a range of initiatives including:
• introducing energy efficiency and recycling programs across all our offices and sites;
• establishing water recycling systems in their Integration (manufacturing) Centres;
• removing hazardous materials previously used in products and ensuring suppliers comply with similar standards;
• increasing the usage of recyclable material in their products and packaging, and labelling of all plastics with the appropriate recyclable symbol and material type; and
• introducing practices to define environmental considerations in product design.


Through their centralised procurement system, suppliers tendering for work must provide information about their sustainability practices. Information provided on topics such as occupational health and safety, risk management, governance, community investment and environmental practices forms part of their supplier selection process.

Aristocrat's comprehensive procurement policy requires their employees to:
• adopt strategies to avoid unnecessary consumption and manage demand;
• foster a viable market for sustainable goods and services; and
• support suppliers who are socially responsible and adopt ethical practices.
