Scientific Games Wins Communitas Award for German Pallet Recycling
Atlanta – October 12, 2026 -- Scientific Games has won a 2026 Communitas Award for Excellence in Corporate Responsibility. The award, in the Ethical and Environmental Responsibility: Green Initiatives category, recognizes a project that recycles wooden shipping pallets in Germany with the v. Bodelschwingh Foundations Bethel, one of the country's largest social service organizations.
Scientific Games donated hundreds of lottery pallets to the Bethel project
The pallets were used to ship lottery scratchcards to German lotteries. Because the untreated wood no longer goes to landfill, it is turned into birdhouses and toys. Members of the disabled community make the items by hand at Bethel's Kracks Workshop.
Bethel sells the finished items in its retail shop. The revenue supports the organization's programs, workshop operations and future initiatives for people with disabilities.
