As the world's largest provider of casino entertainment, Harrah's Entertainment is aggressively and creatively addressing its environmental challenges and responsibilities. CodeGreen, Harrah's comprehensive environmental program, focuses on critical issues of energy, waste, water, and carbon emissions. Harrah's is committed to finding sustainable solutions for our products, equipment, and facilities.

Harrah's leadership in environmental stewardship is but one reflection of our historical industry leadership in innovation and corporate social responsibility (CSR). Environmental stewardship is in fact a key component of Harrah's Code of Commitment, the social responsibility standards that govern how we conduct business, and that guide our relationships with our customers, our employees, and our home communities. Other aspects of our CSR programs include: philanthropy, volunteerism, community relations, diversity & inclusion and responsible gaming. For additional information on these components, please visit, http://www.harrahs.com/harrahs-corporate/about-us.html

CodeGreen's foundation is the enthusiasm of our employees and the interest of our customers in Harrah's being good environmental stewards. CodeGreen teams at each Harrah's property work hard to reduce natural resource use, conserve energy, and promote reuse and recycling.

Several recent accomplishments demonstrate how sustainability is deeply woven into Harrah's business model and corporate ethics. In 2008, Harrah's became the first casino company to both join Climate Leaders, EPA's partnership with leading firms committed to reducing greenhouse gas emissions, and win a regional EPA Environmental Quality Award. In 2008, Harrah's also partnered with NativeEnergy to reduce the World Series of Poker's carbon footprint.

But our commitment to sustainability is nothing new. Over the last five years, 74 energy conservation projects, including one of the world's cleanest co-generation units, have reduced Harrah's carbon emissions by the equivalent of 164,440 barrels of oil. Our conservation projects have been good for the environment, and smart for our business.
