Entain, the holding company behind Ladbrokes and Coral, has announced a new commitment to sustainable energy, pledging to become completely carbon neutral by no later than 2025.

The operator will reduce and offset emissions within its own operations, in addition to cooperating with suppliers to decarbonise its supply chain. The group currently maintains a 24,000-strong workforce spread across 4,5000 retail outlets and 20 offices in five different continents.

A formal letter of commitment has been sent to the Science Based Target initiative (SBTi) by the firm, which is beginning to develop its decarbonisation strategy.

“This is an ambitious and critically important commitment that we are making today, and one that I am proud to make on behalf of our people around the world,” commented Jette Nygaard-Andersen, newly appointed CEO of Entain.
