The company confirmed that the improvement effect after interventions was 83.0%. This result, when compared to previous quarters, marked improvement. For example, the improvement effect after interventions halted at 82.1% and 82.6% in Q4 2022 and Q3 2022 respectively.
Efforts within Journey Towards Zero Continue
Tracking and at the same time reducing the revenue from harmful gambling is one of Kindred’s strategic sustainability goals. With this long-term commitment, the company leads by example by voluntarily implementing effective controls, processes and collaborating with its customers to reduce the revenue from harmful gambling.
To ensure transparency of the process, Kindred posts quarterly reports about the metrics related to revenue from harmful gambling. Ultimately, the company seeks to achieve zero percent revenue from harmful gambling, a goal that is expected to have a positive impact on societies and the industry as a whole.
“Going forward I look forward to following the holistic approach and collaboration across different teams within Kindred. Responsible gambling is not a factor only for one team, but it is something that every single employee contributes to through their knowledge and commitment to reducing harmful revenue.“
Henrik Tjärnström, CEO of Kindred Group
Henrik Tjärnström, Kindred Group’s CEO, revealed that engaging with customers that are showing signs of at-risk or problem gambling is an ongoing commitment of the company. Moreover, he explained: “To prevent a harmful behavior, early intervention is critical, and I am glad that we can see result of the rollout of automated interventions that we have done in some of our markets.”
Focusing on the future, Tjärnström predicted that the company’s teams will continue to stand united and engage with customers that may be showing signs of at-risk gambling. He explained that reducing revenue from harmful gambling isn’t a priority for a single team within the company, but a goal for the whole Group. Finally, Tjärnström acknowledged the importance of technological solutions and the positive impact they may have in the Journey towards Zero initiative.
