Gala Bingo acknowledged for Corporate Responsibility
The Gala Coral Group, owners of Gala Bingo have secured their place in the Corporate Responsibility index…….which is another notch in the goal post for them. The team at Gala Bingo managed to get bronze in the (CRI) category for a number of different reasons and these included the charity drive they have been on for Sue Ryder Care during the past few years, their responsible gaming initiative and their strategy on environmental stewardship.
The corporate responsibility index provides businesses like Gala Bingo with a dedicated approach to management, plus measuring and reporting on business impacts on the environment and society as a whole. This in turn does help companies to integrate and improve their operations.
Stephen Howard, who is the Chief Executive, Business in the Community said: “I congratulate Gala Coral on achieving Bronze in the 2009 Business in the Community Corporate Responsibility Index. Companies participating in the Index may be at different stages of their responsible business journey, but they have all demonstrated that they take these issues seriously and are leading the field in ensuring this is just how they do business. We believe this is imperative if we are to strengthen and stabilise our businesses and economy.”
Speaking about their achievement, Dominic Harrison, Chief Executive, Gala Coral Group said: “We’re delighted to have been included in the Corporate Responsibility Index for the first time and we are aiming higher as we continue to work on clear corporate responsibility goals.
He also went on to say, “We were highly commended for our strong community partnerships where we have worked hard to raise over £1m for Sue Ryder Care. We also gained accolades for developing our strategy on environmental stewardship, where we have set and exceeded clear targets on carbon reduction.”
Gala Coral have been facing some very turbulent times lately (financial wise) but hopefully the worst is now behind them. Gala Bingo remains at the top of their game both online and offline and they continue to lead the way for others to follow. The game of bingo would just not be the same if Gala Bingo did not have a hand in it.
