Lottomatica Secures ISO 37301 Compliance Milestone and Upgrades Anti-Corruption Certification

Lottomatica Group has marked a significant governance milestone by securing the UNI ISO 37301:2021 certification for its Compliance Management Systems—the first gaming sector operator in Italy to do so—and completing a transition to UNI ISO 37001:2025 for its Anti-Corruption Management System. Both systems were audited and certified by RINA, with the compliance certification carried out under ACCREDIA accreditation, supporting full alignment with international standards.

Focus on Integrated Compliance Under UNI ISO 37301:2021

Lottomatica’s achievement of UNI ISO 37301:2021 marks the group's ability to manage regulatory, contractual, and sector-specific obligations cohesively. The certification applies to both the Parent Company and its concessionaire companies, covering operations in the retail, online, and broader gaming segments. This step places Lottomatica among a small group of FTSE MIB companies with such recognition and underscores its status as the first Italian gaming operator to reach this compliance standard.

What ISO 37301 Compliance Certification Entails

Certification to UNI ISO 37301:2021 indicates that the company has successfully:

• Developed a compliance management framework enabling systematic management of both mandatory and voluntary requirements
• Integrated various compliance and internal controls into a single, uniform system
• Fostered organization-wide methodological consistency and enhanced decision-making support

The scope of the audit by RINA extended to all areas of compliance and the underlying company processes. It assessed not only the adherence to the internal regulatory framework but also:

• Compliance with obligations set by reference standards
• Effectiveness of the internal control system
• Degree of integration between compliance measures and the Group’s governance structures

Transition to UNI ISO 37001:2025 for Anti-Corruption

Simultaneously, Lottomatica completed the transition to UNI ISO 37001:2025 for its Anti-Corruption Management System, a process which built on an anti-corruption certification maintained since 2022. This transition reinforces the group’s focus on ethical business practices and further strengthens its risk management infrastructure across all relevant business sectors.

The dual certification project, initiated in September 2025, was led by Francesco Lauria, who serves as Chief Risk, Ethics & Compliance Officer as well as Anti-bribery & Corruption Officer for Lottomatica. Lauria commented on the importance of the recognition:

“I am particularly proud of this important milestone, which demonstrates Lottomatica’s ongoing commitment to pursuing excellence and strengthening the effectiveness of its governance, risk management, and compliance systems. This result also represents a further step forward in the Group’s growth, consolidation, and continuous improvement.” — Francesco Lauria

Strategic Implications for Lottomatica Group

Lottomatica’s alignment with international compliance standards exemplifies a proactive approach to advancing group-wide risk management and governance. Being the only operator in Italy’s gaming industry to secure UNI ISO 37301:2021, the Group positions itself at the forefront of best practices for responsible business management.

The certifications further strengthen Lottomatica’s internal controls and provide stakeholders—regulators, investors, and customers alike—with evidence of the company’s commitment to sustainability and transparent operations.

RINA and ACCREDIA: Audit and Accreditation Partners

Certification audits were conducted by RINA, an internationally recognized certification body. The accreditation by ACCREDIA adds additional credibility, confirming that Lottomatica’s compliance systems are domain-aligned and externally validated according to global norms.

Ongoing Evolution of Compliance and Governance Controls

These certifications are part of a broader process of continual improvement within Lottomatica Group, reflecting a long-term strategy aimed at consolidating and streamlining compliance and governance activities across its portfolio in the retail, online, and gaming segments. The integrated compliance management system is designed to provide a robust structure for managing all types of obligations—regulatory, contractual, and sector-specific—within a unified framework.

Industry observers will be watching whether Lottomatica’s approach sets a new benchmark for compliance management within Italy’s gambling sector and potentially across European gaming markets.
