(ANSA)- Rome, July 7 - Italian gaming group Lottomatica took
several steps in 2015 to boost its corporate social
responsibility, including its involvement in cultural,
educational and social integration projects.
Among figures that reflect its social efforts, Lottomatica
took on 23 employees to boost its staffing numbers to 1,715, and
invested six million euros in initiatives to benefit the
community and encourage responsible use of gaming.
"Gambling is at the centre of the political, economic and
social agenda. We propose a management of the sector along the
principles of responsibility and return to the community while
continuing to run a satisfying business," said Lottomatica
President Fabio Cairoli.
"We ask the government for stability and certainty... it is
not necessary to prohibit gambling, but to give security above
all to the players," he said.
Social projects that Lottomatica is working on include
"Let's spread the word", to discourage gambling among minors.
It is also investing in Italian heritage restoration
projects, supplying student bursaries for young musicians, and
supporting programmes in economically disadvantaged parts of the
country.
