Caesars Entertainment on Monday released its 2024 Corporate Social Responsibility report, highlighting the company’s progress on environmental goals, community impact, and responsible gaming programming.
“People Planet Play” is the framework underpinning Caesars’ corporate social responsibility strategy.
“2024 was an incredible year for us at Caesars Entertainment,” Caesars Entertainment Senior Vice President of Corporate Social Responsibility and Internal Communications Kiersten Flint said in a statement. “In addition to rounding out a multi-year capital cycle where we completed and opened three new destinations, we made robust enhancements to programs that benefit our team members to help them reach their full potential with us at Caesars. We spent time giving back to our communities and we celebrated 35 years of our Responsible Gaming program. We’re proud of the work we did in 2024 and are carrying that momentum forward in 2025.”
The report details progress in Caesars’ corporate responsibility strategy framework in three categories: People, Planet, and Play.
