Sustainability for Casinos

Sustainable business practices are rapidly gaining visibility and importance in the gaming industry. In addition to new regulations governing sustainability practices, patrons increasingly demand that casinos share their commitment to the environment. While implementing sustainability initiatives can be challenging, it also brings great benefits – new patrons, improved efficiency and profitability. Yet, because of limited resources, gaming companies are unsure which initiatives are right for their patrons and businesses.

Why SAS®?

A midsized gaming company might expect the following results using SAS:

  • In the first six months of tracking, systemwide consumption is reduced by 10 percent.
  • High-performing units are recognized, and best practices for reducing usage are identified. 
  • Forecasting and what-if analysis discover further reduction opportunities.
  • Usage metrics are included in marketing campaigns and in the annual report to stakeholders. For the first time, both patrons and stakeholders are able to see real evidence of the company’s sustainability efforts.
