Caesars Reports $88M Community Investment and Responsible

Caesars Entertainment has released its 2025 Corporate Social Responsibility (CSR) Report, revealing nearly $88 million invested in community programs and significant strides in responsible gaming and environmental efforts.

The report details Caesars’ progress under its People Planet Play strategy, which guides the company’s approach to community impact, environmental stewardship, responsible gaming, and team member development. For players and bettors, these initiatives translate into enhanced responsible gaming education and support services designed to reduce gambling-related harm.

In 2025, Caesars provided nearly 15,000 hours of responsible gaming training to more than 44,000 team members. This training equips staff to identify and assist guests who may be experiencing gambling difficulties. The company also expanded guest education and access to support resources across its casino properties and digital platforms, offering players more tools to make informed decisions about their gambling.

Community investment totaled $87.8 million, including donations to national and local nonprofits through the Caesars Foundation, volunteer hours contributed by employees via the HERO program, and funds raised through the Caesars Makes Change initiative. These efforts support community wellbeing, which can indirectly benefit players by fostering healthier environments.

Caesars invested $35 million in employee training and development, supporting over 1.5 million hours of learning. The company filled more than 7,700 roles internally in 2025, including 5,500 promotions, reflecting a commitment to career growth and workforce stability. For players, a well-trained and engaged workforce can enhance service quality and safety at Caesars venues.

On the environmental front, Caesars achieved a 21% reduction in Scope 1 and 2 greenhouse gas emissions compared to 2019 levels and a 26% reduction in Scope 3 emissions since 2022. The company expanded its renewable energy efforts through a long-term partnership with Estuary Power, securing more than 65,000 MWh of clean energy annually. Additionally, Caesars increased electric vehicle infrastructure, including converting the Caesars Palace fleet to fully electric vehicles, which reduces fuel consumption and emissions.

Capital investments in 2025 included the start of Phase Two of the $200 million Caesars Republic Lake Tahoe transformation and over $100 million in enhancements at Flamingo Las Vegas. These upgrades aim to improve guest experiences through revitalized facilities and amenities.

At Caesars, doing business the right way means creating value for our team members, our guests, our communities and our shareholders, said Kiersten Flint, Senior Vice President of Corporate Social Responsibility and Internal Communications.
