The 17 Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) of the United Nations were adopted by all UN member states in 2015 as part of the 2030 Agenda for Sustainable Development. These 17 global sustainability goals in such areas as health, education, fair work and the environment are aimed at both state and private stakeholders around the world. We at ZEAL can demonstrate a positive contribution to nine of the 17 SDGs. With our business model and corporate policy, we can make a significant contribution to the following three SDGs:
SDG 3 – Good Health and Well-Being
Our numerous measures to protect vulnerable players and minors provide a safe environment for responsible gambling in a controlled setting. To this end, we provide players with various tools for self-control, but also offer external control where necessary.
SDG 8 – Decent Work and Economic Growth
Our highly flexible working models (including work from home, trust-based working hours and additional paid leave for special occasions) facilitate a good work-life balance and the reconciliation of work and family life – benefiting our female colleagues in particular. We aim to develop and retain our employees over the long term by offering continuing education measures and attractive pay based on fair and transparent targets.
SDG 12 – Responsible Consumption and Production
ZEAL stands for transparent, safe products and responsible marketing. This is how we achieve satisfied customers while at the same time supporting numerous charitable organisations.
