All elements of the company’s environmental policy were assessed in accordance with the requirements of the ISO 14001 international standard. ISO 14001 is the main standard for environmental management systems in the world. It was first developed by the International Organization for Standardization in 1996 to establish a framework that would help companies minimize their environmental impact and move towards sustainable operation. Microgaming CEO, John Coleman, commented on the situation as follows: “ISO 14001 certification is a significant milestone for the business, and I am proud of our collective efforts in helping to safeguard our home and planet for current and future generations.”

This new certificate served as yet another step in Microgaming’s long-term commitment to environmental protection and a greener future for its local community. Back in 2017, the company’s 4,280 m² headquarters became the first office building on the Isle of Man to be awarded an “Excellent” BREEAM sustainability rating. In order to achieve this feat, Microgaming had to introduce many new environmentally-friendly practices, overhaul its environmental management systems, and take steps to significantly lower its carbon footprint. On top of this, as part of its PlayItForward program, Microgaming also:
- Implemented a new waste management solution at its main office.
- Replaced its lunch containers with more ecological options.
- Optimized its energy consumption levels to avoid energy waste.
- Bought annual bus passes and electric bikes to make staff commutes greener.
And these actions have not been left unnoticed. Microgaming received many awards in recognition of its leading role in Corporate Social Responsibility (CSR) and ecological initiatives. These include Best Leadership Event (ICE Awards) and Best CSR Strategy (HR Excellence Awards). And, based on the company’s environmental trajectory, it certainly seems that these won’t be the last awards of this type Microgaming receives.
