Caesars Entertainment employees volunteered, mentored students and raised money for local causes throughout 2025, extending the casino and sports betting operator’s reach well beyond the gaming floor. With tens of thousands of workers involved, the effort had a measurable nationwide impact.
The company detailed those results in its 2025 Corporate Social Responsibility Report, covering community support, environmental performance, employee development and responsible gambling programs.
Caesars is the largest retail and online casino entertainment operator in the US and trades on the Nasdaq under the ticker CZR.
Foundation, volunteers and guests drive $87.8M in giving
Caesars reported $87.8 million in total community investment for 2025.
Nearly $3.6 million of that came from the Caesars Foundation, which funds nonprofit groups nationwide, while team members logged 78,000 volunteer hours through the company’s HERO program. Guests contributed an additional $2.6 million through the Caesars Makes Change checkout initiative.
The company also invested $35 million in employee training and development, supporting more than 1.5 million hours of learning across the enterprise. Caesars filled more than 7,700 roles internally last year, including 5,500 promotions.
Kiersten Flint, senior vice president of corporate social responsibility and internal communications at Caesars, said the company operated with discipline in 2025 while advancing its long-term strategy:
“Doing business the right way means creating value for our team members, our guests, our communities and our shareholders.”
That strategy, known as PEOPLE PLANET PLAY, guides how Caesars balances stakeholder value against long-term business resilience. Gaming companies face growing scrutiny over their community and environmental practices, and investors increasingly weigh ESG performance when evaluating casino operators.
Three decades of responsible gambling work
Responsible gambling remained a central focus in 2025, as Caesars marked 36 years of programming in that area.
The company delivered nearly 15,000 hours of related training to more than 44,000 team members and expanded guest education tools across its properties and digital channels, including its Caesars Palace Online Casino platform.
Caesars also strengthened its broader compliance efforts last year, including work on cybersecurity, data privacy and anti-money laundering controls, aimed at supporting the safety of guests, employees and the business.
The full report includes disclosures aligned with GRI Standards, SASB and TCFD reporting frameworks, offering a fuller picture of how Caesars approaches sustainability, workforce development and community impact nationwide.
Caesars cuts emissions, doubles down on clean energy
Caesars cut its Scope 1 and Scope 2 emissions 21% from a 2019 baseline and its Scope 3 emissions 26% from a 2022 baseline, according to the report.
A new agreement with Estuary Power marks one of the company’s largest clean energy commitments to date. Under the deal, Caesars will draw more than 65,000 megawatt-hours of clean electricity annually, building on its existing solar investments.
The company also converted its in-house vehicle fleet at Caesars Palace to fully electric models last year, part of a broader rollout of electric vehicle infrastructure companywide.
Lake Tahoe and Las Vegas casino renovations highlighted
The report also highlighted large capital projects across the portfolio. Work began on Phase Two of the $200 million transformation of Caesars Republic Lake Tahoe.
Caesars also began more than $100 million in enhancements at Flamingo Las Vegas, one of the company’s Strip properties.
