Lottomatica Achieves ISO 37301 Certification in Integrated Compliance

The Lottomatica Group has reached a milestone in strengthening its corporate governance by first achieving the UNI ISO 37301:2021 certification for its Compliance Management Systems and completing the transition to UNI ISO 37001:2025 certification for its Anti-Corruption Management System. Both certifications, granted by RINA, demonstrate the integration and modernization of its compliance controls across all segments in which it operates, including retail, online, and land-based gaming. ACCREDIA supported the ISO 37301:2021 certification, providing additional assurances of alignment with international standards.

What Does UNI ISO 37301:2021 Certification Establish?

The certification according to the UNI ISO 37301:2021 standard confirms that an organization can systematically manage both mandatory and voluntary regulatory obligations, as well as contractual and sector-specific commitments, integrating everything into a single compliance system. In Lottomatica's case, the process involved consolidating various compliance areas and internal controls under one methodological framework, seeking uniformity and strengthening governance, control processes, and decision-making support.

The attainment of this certification required an integration process that began in September 2025, covering the parent company and the group’s concession companies. The project was driven by Francesco Lauria, Chief Risk, Ethics & Compliance Officer and Anti-bribery & Corruption Officer. The executive stated:

“I am especially proud of this significant milestone, which demonstrates Lottomatica’s ongoing commitment to excellence and strengthening governance, risk management, and compliance systems. This outcome is another step in the Group's continuous growth and improvement.”

Scope and Sector Relevance: Lottomatica and ISO 37301 in the Gaming Sector

Lottomatica positions itself as the first gaming operator in Italy to receive the UNI ISO 37301:2021 certification, joining the small group of companies in the FTSE MIB index with such recognition. The certification encompassed both the corporate parent and its concession subsidiaries, focusing on retail, online, and betting sectors, following thorough audits conducted by RINA.

The achievement coincided with the complete transition to UNI ISO 37001:2025 certification, thereby reinforcing the group’s credibility in managing corruption risks and comprehensive compliance. The process included verifying the correct application of internal regulations, the effectiveness of control mechanisms, and the degree of integration of compliance measures into governance and daily operations of the Group.

Audit and Certification Process by RINA and ACCREDIA

The audits led by RINA covered all areas and processes included in Lottomatica’s Compliance Management System. The objectives were:

• To verify the correct application of the internal regulatory framework
• To assess compliance with international reference standards
• To analyze the effectiveness of the control system
• To measure compliance integration in governance and operational activities

The UNI ISO 37301:2021 certification was accredited by ACCREDIA, ensuring compliance with recognized global standards, which strengthens Lottomatica's position as a pioneer in compliance management in the Italian gaming sector.

Strategic Importance of the Certification in Compliance Management

These certifications not only fulfill formal functions but also place Lottomatica in a favorable position within the Italian and European markets. By anticipating and exceeding regulatory requirements, the Group strengthens its sustainability and adaptability to future regulatory changes.

The integration of compliance and anti-corruption management systems not only responds to international standards but also increases transparency, strengthens decision-making, and protects the corporate reputation of the company in a highly regulated sector like gaming. These advances are integrated into the corporate responsibility and governance strategy promoted by Lottomatica.

For operators and suppliers in the sector, the model adopted by Lottomatica sets a benchmark for compliance and best practices. The consolidation of controls into a single framework is being observed with interest by other players in the sector, both nationally and in other relevant markets.

The events and business forums scheduled for next year anticipate that Lottomatica's experience will be analyzed to determine its applicability in other regulatory contexts.

Conclusion: Lottomatica Reinforces Leadership in Compliance and Governance

The simultaneous achievement of the UNI ISO 37301:2021 and UNI ISO 37001:2025 certifications consolidates Lottomatica as a leader in governance, sustainability, and responsible risk and compliance management in the gaming sector. The comprehensive approach and accreditation under international standards provide a roadmap for other companies looking to anticipate regulations and strengthen their competitive position.
