Purpose

Our purpose: FDJ’s strategic compass

Our purpose

“Gaming is our business, giving back to society is what drives us and responsibility is our constant focus.”

Our purpose is at the very heart of FDJ’s strategy. It is the fruit of a collective labour and reflects our stance as a useful, committed, and responsible company that is intertwined with the fabric of our society and our era. Our purpose has been part of our company by-laws since 2020 and guides us in everything we do.

FDJ Group offers people who wish to experience the thrill of gaming and moments of emotion a wide range of responsibly-designed games.

Gaming is our business, giving back to society is what drives us and responsibility is our constant focus.

We promote recreational gaming by accompanying our customers, creating games with built-in integrity, and reducing the risks and consequences which arise from our activity. We actively help prevent addictive behaviour and underage gaming.

We are faithful to the French national lottery legacy – created to help wounded World War One soldiers – and we continue to support social and community initiatives, and fund good causes.

As key partners of local businesses, we ensure that our games and services are widely available through a dense network of neighbourhood retailers. Thanks to our committed employees and capacity for innovation, we are pursuing our goal of sustainable growth, underpinned by a responsible and socially useful business model, and close collaboration with our stakeholders.

Deploying our purpose in 2020 involved:

Rolling out our roadmap in the form of our six commitments.
Accompanying our employees and stakeholders to build the future together.
The Stakeholder Committee to ensure an open dialogue and thorough oversight of our commitments.
Corporate communication based on the “Make a win-win” campaign.

FDJ Stakeholder Committee

Our Stakeholder Committee aims to develop high-level dialogue about the stakes the Group faces. It oversees the application of our purpose and the six commitments. This body allows diverse points of view to be shared and for the company to implement new measures, understand expectations, and suggest avenues for improvement.

The Stakeholder Committee is made up of 14 people and is presided by ex-Managing Director of Parisian hospital group AP-HP and President of Korian Rose-Marie Van Lerberghe. The Committee meets three times per year with President and CEO of FDJ Stéphane Pallez, and Executive Vice-President Charles Lantieri. Committee members represent the diversity of FDJ’s stakeholders, and/or are experts in areas close to the Group’s activities, in line with our purpose. So far, the Stakeholder Committee has met ten times.
