Corporate Social Responsibility Community Activism IGT takes seriously its role as a responsible global citizen in the countries and communities where it does business. IGT's community responsibility takes various forms, from monetary gifts and in-kind donations like donated services, computers and used equipment to employee volunteer time, service on agency boards and use of the Company's facilities for public events and meetings. IGT's community involvement embraces a breadth of needs including education, health and human services, and the arts with special emphasis on "active" involvement. Employee Diversity Diversity is a strong component of IGT's success, and the Company is committed to developing a culture of inclusion which involves recruiting, talent development, and overall building of a diverse workforce. IGT's diversity council is a cross-functional representation of the Company that stewards and champions many diversity initiatives. Our diversity management takes the lead in developing and implementing a breadth of efforts that involve both internal activities and external alliances. Supplier Diversity IGT is continually seeking out and expanding its local and national base of suppliers, especially those owned by minorities, women, the physically and mentally challenged, and service-disabled veterans. We encourage our suppliers and contractors to involve these types of businesses through partnerships, joint ventures and subcontracts. (www.IGT.com/SupplierDiversity) Responsible Gaming IGT acknowledges problem gambling as an issue that cannot and must not be ignored. IGT promotes responsible gaming to its employees, customers and the public, and supports agencies and programs committed to researching, preventing and treating problem gambling. IGT believes that all stakeholders in the gaming industry must take a pro-active approach to problem and underage gambling. IGT is a major supporter and member of the two largest U.S. organizations dedicated to reducing problem and underage gambling: the National Council on Problem Gambling (NCPG) and the National Center for Responsible Gambling (NCRG). We work closely with the NCPG and its 34 state affiliates to promote awareness and education, and provide funding for the nationwide problem gambling "Helpline." IGT senior executives serve on the Boards of both organizations. IGT recently renewed its commitment of $1 million to the NCRG for support of peer reviewed scientific research into pathological gambling and to provide scientifically based responsible gaming education. IGT is the only gaming equipment manufacturer in the world to have a full-time Director of Responsible Gaming, charged with implementing the Company's Responsible Gaming Program. (www.IGT.com/ResponsibleGaming) 'Green' Initiatives IGT is also proactive in its recycling and energy saving efforts. IGT facilities annually recycle millions of pieces of cardboard, metal, paper and glass, as well as aluminum cans, plastic bottles, printer cartridges, wire harnesses, pallets and fluorescent light bulbs. While IGT does not generate a large amount of hazardous waste, small quantities of inks and solvents are recycled by an outside disposal company. The Company has steadily reduced the amount of energy consumed in its daily operations. A major example was a recent lighting retrofit that replaced more than 5,000 antiquated light fixtures and reduced energy consumption by 3.4 megawatt hours a year. Energy savings have also been realized through installation of lighting occupancy sensors and "as needed" use of service and electrical equipment instead of around-the-clock operation. In compliance with the European Union (EU) Restriction of Hazardous Substances (RoHS) Directive of 2006, IGT began manufacturing RoHS-compliant machines for European distribution. Although not required to do so, IGT now includes many of the parts that meet or exceed the RoHS standards in machines manufactured for the US and countries outside the EU.
