Corporate Social Responsibility

Employees

The Board of Sportingbet is of the firm belief that the Company’s success is due to the quality and commitment of its workforce. The Company’s employee management priorities, including its remuneration strategies, are based on recruiting and retaining the best people in the industry and on encouraging working practices that improve productivity, reduce costs, develop talent and give job satisfaction.

Further, the Board recognises the need for communication with employees at every level. Weekly sales notes and all quarterly results announcements are circulated to employees and copies of the Annual Report and Accounts are made available too. The Company is committed to developing ongoing communication with all of its employees. This is achieved through a variety of channels, including the Group’s intranet, to ensure that everyone is informed of the Group’s progress and recognises the key roles that they, as employees, play in Sportingbet’s success. Further, the Group is committed to a policy of equal opportunity in matters relating to employment, training and career development of employees and is opposed to any form of less favourable treatment afforded on the grounds of age, disability, sex, marital status, sexual orientation, nationality, race or religion.
