MGA launches new Environmental, Social, and Governance hub on its website

The Malta Gaming Authority (MGA) has introduced its new Environmental, Social, and Governance (ESG) hub on its website, providing licensees with detailed information on ESG reporting. The landing page opened for the first time for registered licensees on July 9.

This newly launched ESG landing page serves as a central hub for all things related to the Authority’s voluntary ESG Code of Good Practice. It aims to assist online gaming companies in aligning with best practices, thereby meeting the evolving expectations of stakeholders.

"The Code enables us to showcase our licensees’ dedication to sustainability and to continue highlighting the positive actions already being undertaken by the gaming industry," the MGA stated.

The ESG Code of Good Practice for the remote gaming sector is an industry-specific framework designed to enhance transparency, encourage ESG reporting, and facilitate benchmarking among companies.

The Code complements existing industry efforts and serves as a reference for remote gaming companies to regularly assess, report on, and improve their ESG practices, the authority said. It was developed through four key stages: peer review and research, materiality assessment, stakeholder interviews, and consultations with licensees.
