The British Columbia Gaming Commission (BCLC) recently published its yearly review, aptly named “Succeeding with Intention.” This publication emphasizes the organization’s dedication to environmental, societal, and governance (ESG) objectives and displays the advancements achieved throughout 2022/23. BCLC is integrating its social mission into the core of its activities, striving to create a beneficial influence that extends beyond mere financial gains. On that note, they generated over \$1.6 billion in net revenue for the region. The review emphasizes significant accomplishments such as enhancing the “Game Pause” self-exclusion initiative, fostering reconciliation endeavors with First Nations communities, championing inclusivity, initiating a carbon reduction strategy, and establishing a stakeholder governance structure. BCLC is demonstrating that it’s feasible to thrive commercially while making a tangible contribution to society.
The British Columbia Lottery Corporation (BCLC) has demonstrated its dedication to diversity and equity through a variety of recent programs. One such program, the “Inclusive Holiday Program,” provides employees with greater autonomy in selecting the holidays they celebrate. This program exemplifies BCLC’s efforts to foster a more inclusive work environment.
Additionally, BCLC has collaborated with Instant Win Gaming (IWG) to introduce the novel “Set for Life” game on its PlayNow.com platform. This engaging new offering merges retail and digital gaming, providing players in British Columbia and Manitoba with a unified gaming experience.
