Betfair Group Limited's reported carbon emissions

Inherited from Flutter Entertainment plc

Betfair Group Limited, headquartered in Great Britain, currently does not report specific carbon emissions data, as indicated by the absence of figures in the latest emissions data. The company is a current subsidiary of Flutter Entertainment plc, which may influence its climate commitments and reporting practices. As part of its corporate family, Betfair Group Limited's climate initiatives and targets are likely aligned with those of Flutter Entertainment plc. However, no specific reduction targets or climate pledges have been detailed for Betfair itself. The absence of documented reduction initiatives suggests that the company may still be in the process of establishing its own climate strategy or reporting framework. In the context of the gaming and betting industry, companies are increasingly recognising the importance of sustainability and are expected to adopt comprehensive climate action plans. As Betfair Group Limited continues to operate under the umbrella of Flutter Entertainment plc, it may benefit from the broader sustainability initiatives and targets set by its parent company.
