Flutter Entertainment PLC

The Board, through the Risk and Sustainability Committee and the Safer Gambling Sub-Committee has maintained oversight of the four pillars of the Positive Impact Plan, receiving regular updates of progress against goals throughout 2023. The Risk and Sustainability Committee also maintains oversight of our evolving strategy, our response to regulatory and public policy change in respect of safer gambling, social responsibility, changing climate-related disclosure requirements, and our workplace, including our Diversity, Equity and Inclusion ("DE&I") strategy. The Risk and Sustainability Committee is supported by the Safer Gambling Sub-Committee, which provides dedicated support and focus to our Play Well strategy. The Safer Gambling Sub-Committee met four times during 2023 and reported on progress to the Risk and Sustainability Committee. The Risk and Sustainability Committee continued to work closely with the Audit Committee, holding two joint meetings in 2023, for the purposes of overseeing the internal governance processes that support our sustainability ambitions and regulatory obligations. The Risk and Sustainability Committee received six updates on the Positive Impact Plan in 2023. For a list of Risk and Sustainability Committee members and the Committee Charter see: www.flutter.com/about-us/corporate-governance/board-committees/. The Executive Committee defines the strategy and ambition for our Positive Impact Plan, with quarterly management reporting having been developed further during 2023. Key strategic initiatives are brought to the Executive Committee for review and overall approval. There is strong engagement from the Executive Committee, with the Group CEO and each divisional CEO holding dedicated meetings with the Group Director of Sustainability and Regulatory Affairs additionally on at least a quarterly basis to review progress and identify any areas where additional support may be required or new opportunities can be developed. At an operational level, we have a Sustainability Working Group which is responsible for mobilising strategy and ensuring appropriate engagement and progress across the Group, with representatives from key functions and each division participating in this working group. In 2023, we continued our focus on building solid foundations and key enablers such as investing in appropriate technology solutions to help us better capture, verify, assure, and improve our data capabilities across each Positive Impact Plan pillar. We expect to see the results of these investments in 2024 as we roll out and integrate our solutions. We have also developed global working groups dedicated to our various pillars. These groups bring together experts from across each division to share knowledge and continue to develop strategy and drive progress. This is a great example of our Flutter Edge in operation. We have continued to invest in central resources and expertise including appointing a new Group Head of Communities; a Group Head of Sustainability Strategy and Engagement; a Sustainability Project Manager; and Environmental Analyst. We are pleased with progress in 2023 and look forward to continuing to drive momentum in 2024.

Describe the process(es) your organization has in place to ensure that your engagement activities are consistent with your overall climate change strategy[…]The organization is currently reviewing a range of appropriate processes to ensure that the organizational activities are consistent with our strategy reflecting our climate change ambition and activity.

The organization is reviewing options regarding accreditation and certification on a range of relevant ISO standards including ISO 14001, that could provide a recognized framework to measure, manage, frame and deliver a structured series of processes to ensure consistency and compliance. In addition, an investigation into appropriate levels and frequency of internal environmental auditing will also begin in 2022.

A fuller list of our activity across 2021, 2022 and 2023 can be found in sections C3.1 and C12.1e.

All areas of activity will be delivered in 2022 through the recruitment of a new dedicated sustainability team that will include a dedicated head of sustainability, head of community, head of safer gambling, head of environmental and sustainable supply, and also a dedicated sustainability reporting manager and environmental analyst.

Oversight and guidance on all areas of related strategy, activity and output will be overseen through our sustainability and environmentally focused committees and working groups as listed in C1.02

Our ambition is to establish reliable, accountable, verifiable and consistent routes to granular level data and information to accurately determine our own sphere of impact and deploy initiatives to gain further and greater control in this ae and to begin to exhibit leadership throughout our sector.

2023 will see the development of the organizations first Annual Sustainability Report (to the GRI framework) and we will have published our net-zero route map, established SBTI targets, aligned with RE100, have mapped out our alignment with the UN SDGs and have in place a robust sustainable procurement programme. This will help demonstrate a robust, responsible, and verifiable position regarding our commitment and associated activities towards climate related issues, TCFD recommendations and wider areas of environmental impact. Having these robust foundations established and with the appropriate infrastructure, strategies, resources, policies, procedures and programmes in support, we will be better placed to use public platforms to advocate climate related issues through the attendance and participation at climate themed conferences, events and through appropriate media streams including journals.
