Sustainability
Good Operations is our approach to corporate sustainability and responsibility. It is how we are working for a better world.
Funding raised by players of People's Postcode Lottery has been affecting change and transforming lives and communities across the world for the better since 2005.
A sustainable approach has been ingrained in all we do since the very beginning - it is one of the core values at the heart of People's Postcode Lottery.
"Along with our sister lotteries, People’s Postcode Lottery is a force for good in creating real lasting social change and empowering charities, communities and people across the globe.
"It is our ambition to be an equally strong power for good in sustainability."
Clara Govier, Managing Director
