LAS VEGAS—Harrah’s Operating Company, Inc., a subsidiary of Harrah’s Entertainment, Inc., and NativeEnergy, an international marketer of high quality carbon offsets and renewable energy credits (RECs), announced an agreement to provide Harrah’s guests the opportunity to mitigate the global warming impact of their travel to Harrah’s managed resorts by purchasing carbon offsets from new renewable energy projects.

“We are continually looking for innovative environmentally sustainable practices to implement throughout our portfolio of 40 domestic properties,” said Gary Loveman, chairman, CEO and president of Harrah’s Entertainment. “Environmental stewardship is an important component of our Code of Commitment, the casino entertainment industry’s preeminent declaration of corporate social responsibility. Our relationship with NativeEnergy allows us to offer our employees and guests the opportunity to join us in this commitment.”

Guests and employees will be able to purchase carbon offsets from NativeEnergy to support new renewable energy initiatives, such as farmer-owned wind turbines and family farm methane recovery projects. Harrah’s plans to make NativeEnergy’s carbon offsets available immediately for meetings, special events, and conventions. Ultimately, the program will be extended to its Total Rewards members and other segments of its customer base.

“As a leader in environmental sustainability, Harrah’s is setting an example for the hospitality industry and is also helping to raise awareness with their 90,000 employees and their 100 million annual guests,” says Tom Boucher, president and CEO of NativeEnergy.
