OLG has released its first comprehensive Corporate Social Responsibility (CSR) Report, which will serve as a baseline measure of OLG’s efforts in key areas of social responsibility, including:

• Responsible Gambling and efforts to address problem gambling;
• Earning and keeping customers’ trust;
• Supporting employees’ engagement in communities;
• Strengthening communities; and
• Reducing OLG’s impact on the environment.

“We are proud of the progress we are making on our CSR efforts,” said Rod Phillips, President and CEO, OLG. “Each year, through this report, we will demonstrate the progress we are making on these efforts and articulate our goals for the coming year.”  In the past, OLG has reported on its social responsibility initiatives in a number of different ways, including its Responsible Gambling web site, knowyourlimit.ca; its annual report; and In Your Community reports. Now, OLG’s Corporate Social Responsibility Report will bring all of this information together each year into one comprehensive document.  “Ontarians rightly expect OLG to maintain a strong standing as a good corporate citizen and to integrate the values they hold into our culture, policies, programs, and decision making,” said Phillips. “Ultimately, our goal is to be a global leader when it comes to social responsibility and how we report on our CSR efforts.”  You can find a copy of the report on the Corporate Social Responsibility page of ModernOLG.ca.
