“It always seems impossible until it is done...”
On 5 December 2013, we bade
farewell to Nelson Mandela.
Nelson Mandela became our
first international ambassador
in 2001. We will always be
extremely grateful to him for his
inspiration over the years.
6
Among other things, we were
deeply impressed by his involvement with the Peace Parks
Foundation - one of the beneficiaries of the Postcode Lottery.
The Peace Parks Foundation,
founded by Mandela and Prince
Bernhard of the Netherlands,
facilitates the establishment of
transfrontier conservation areas
and in doing so supports development and stability in Southern
Africa. This is entirely in keeping
with Nelson Mandela’s philosophy and his life’s work.
Like everyone else throughout
the world, we will hold Nelson
Mandela dear in our hearts.
We will miss Nelson Mandela,
but we console ourselves with
the thought that his philosophy
lives on through the efforts of
the many people and organisations that are striving to make
the world a better place.
CHAPTER 2
Our goodwill ambassadors
Our goodwill ambassadors are well-known personalities
who support the mission of Novamedia and the
Postcode Lotteries worldwide. We’re proud that they
Tony Blair, Great Britain:
“The great thing about the
Postcode Lottery and the way
it raises money is that this is
one of the few things in life
where you can have fun and
do good at the same time. It´s
a great fund-raising model.”
Rafael Nadal, Spain:
“I would like to thank the
Postcode Lottery for lending
its loyal support to all those
good causes, including my
own Rafa Nadal Foundation.
Because of your help, many
children will have a better
future.”
Richard Branson,
Great Britain:
“I think the Postcode Lottery
is a force for good. It is using
its profits to make an enormous difference.”
Desmond Tutu,
South Africa:
“All the profits that the lotteries help to distribute go to
projects that aim at making
our world a better place.”
want to work with us and help to promote our mission.
You can find the national ambassadors of each lottery on
pages 23, 31, 39, 45 and 51.
Bill Clinton, United States:
“The Postcode Lottery is the
best thing I have ever seen
to involve ordinary people
in charitable work. A whole
community can win and it
must be a great feeling to be
a part of it.”
Muhammad Yunus,
Bangladesh:
“Charity is a wonderful
concept; it really helps people who are suffering. But
one shortcoming of charity
is that every time you help
out, you need a fresh amount
of money. So charity has
a limitation: it cannot be
Johan Cruijff,
The Netherlands:
“You can do nothing alone,
but a lot together.”
Ruud Gullit,
The Netherlands:
“The work of the Postcode
Lotteries produces results for
children everywhere in the
world.”
expended in an unlimited
way. But if you can convert
this into social business, then
the social business money
always recycles. It does its
job again and again; it never
stops, because it’s a self-contained system. It doesn’t need
refilling; it fills itself. That’s
the power of social business.”
“Yunus and You Foundation/
Yunus Foundation Europe
is a foundation dedicated to
promoting the idea of social
business. We want people to
know what social business
is all about. We particularly focus on young people
because today’s young generation is the most powerful
generation of young people
in human history. It’s not
because they are smarter
than any other generation,
but because they are fortunate enough to have an enormous amount of technologies at their command, that
magnify the power and talent
they have.” “The Postcode Lottery has
enormous potential. The
more I know about it, the
more excited I get. Normally
when you buy a lottery ticket
everybody thinks ‘okay, I’m
going to win’. If you win,
that’s great news. If you don’t
win, is it sad news? No, it
isn’t! Not winning is not losing, so there’s no loss here. It’s
win-win anyway.”

CHAPTER 3
Lotteries for a better world
The mission of Novamedia/Postcode Lotteries is to
achieve a better world for people and planet.
The mission of Novamedia as the owner of the Postcode
Lottery format is to set up and operate charity lotteries
all over the world to raise funds for charities and increase
awareness for their work.
The Postcode Lotteries raise funds
to support charities and NGOs that
are dedicated to a world in which
all people, animals and plants can
live healthily and are treated justly
and with respect. In addition, the
lotteries provide a platform for
increasing awareness for the work
of their beneficiaries.
Lotteries
to support charities
The Dutch Postcode Lottery
(Nationale Postcode Loterij)
was launched in December
1989 and has grown phenomenally ever since. By December
2013, 2,638,049 players were
taking part with 4,492,775 lottery tickets. Thanks to this success, People’s Postcode Lottery
launched a pilot in the North
East of England in August 2005.
This was followed in Sweden a
month later in September 2005,
and 1,836,685 tickets had been
sold by the end of 2013 by the
Svenska PostkodLotteriet. People’s
Postcode Lottery launched in
Scotland in 2008 following the
success of the pilot, and in Wales
and England in 2010. The British
lottery now has a total of 397,896
players playing with 489,188 tickets.
8
Postcode
The principle of the lottery is simple, attractive and the same for
each country. The lottery ticket
number is based on the player’s
postcode plus a three-digit personal number. The ticket is paid
monthly in advance and lucky
neighbours win together when
their postcode is drawn. Winning
together means that an entire
street or neighbourhood wins. This
winning together concept makes
the Postcode Lottery the first innovation in lotteries since the Lotto
was invented 400 years ago.
Winning together
The idea of winning together is
strengthened by the giving side of
the lotteries: the distribution of
proceeds to charities. Although
the player may not always win, the
charities always do. All Postcode
Lotteries contribute a percentage
of ticket sales to charities. Charity
organisations working towards a
just and greener world and active
in areas which the players like to
support qualify for support from
the lotteries. Supported charities
have a great deal of freedom in
how they spend the money. They
are the experts in spending the
financial support properly, allowing them to invest money in the
areas that need it the most. It is the

Core values
Right from the start, the employees of Novamedia/Postcode
Lotteries were inspired by four words. And these words, these
values, continue to ensure that the heart of the Postcode
Lotteries in Great Britain, Sweden and the Netherlands keeps
beating strongly:
Courageous
We have the courage to act outside the established framework
and come up with solutions that others have not yet tried.
Fun
Players have fun and win great prizes, and we enjoy our work too!
Through the charitable organisations, we make people and planet
happy with our support.
Sharing
Our winners share the prizes. Our beneficiaries share in the
lotteries’ net contributions, and they, in turn, share them with
their own beneficiaries. We share our knowledge and skills with
each other. And all of this is for the benefit of the planet that we
share together.
Sustainable
We strive for sustainability in everything we do, from the way we
act to the way we work.
Winning together in Peterlee, Great Britain.
lotteries’ ambition to be a reliable,
long-term funding partner.
Awareness
As part of their mission, the
Postcode Lotteries provide players with information about the
charities they support. Players
find information on all supported
charities on the lotteries’ and
grant-giving trusts’ websites and
their work features in magazines
and newsletters sent to the players. TV game shows and special
documentaries feature the work of
the charities too. Moreover, players
are encouraged to use the charities’
services or can win prizes provided
by them, such as tickets for museums, flower shows, nature reserves
or zoos.
Differences
The Postcode Lotteries may differ
in structure and operation due to
different lottery and broadcasting
rules and maturity in the market.
Novamedia searches for the best
ways to implement the format.
The legal minimum contribution to good causes differs from
country to country. This is 20%
in Great Britain and 50% in the
Netherlands. In Sweden there is
no fixed percentage but the licence
requires that a reasonable share
goes to good causes. In 2013, this
percentage for Sweden amounted
to 32%. In Great Britain the charity
contribution went up to 22% and
to 25% in 2014.
The Postcode Lotteries would
ultimately aim to achieve a fixed
percentage of 40% for all countries. With a percentage of 40%
for prizes and 20% for recruit-
ment and costs, that offers the
best opportunities in the lottery
market. This would finally enable
the Postcode Lotteries to fund and
support more charities.
Media
There is a big difference between
the lotteries in terms of access
to the media, and to television
in particular. In the Netherlands
and Sweden, the Postcode Lottery
is primarily a television lottery.
Full attention is given to both
the winners and the charities in
their own and sponsored television programmes. That helps to
recruit players who then take out a
subscription to the lottery via the
post, Internet or telephone.
Britain is more regulated and
therefore here the Postcode Lottery
is promoting winners and charities
in traditional advertising air time.
Particularly last year, a solution
has been found for this by using
infomercials on Direct Response
TV (DRTV).
Distribution of
funds of People’s
Postcode Lottery
People’s Postcode Lottery, which is
regulated under the Gambling Act
2005, operates under two sets of
licences: one set is owned by the
growing number of grant-giving
trusts, which promote the lottery,
and one set is owned by the lottery
operator, Postcode Lottery Ltd, a
Novamedia subsidiary which does
all operational work and sells the
tickets.
The ticket sales of specified draws
go to the trust responsible for promoting these draws. Each trust’s
income is legally maximised to £10

40% prize fund, 25% charity proceeds and 35% operational costs.
With the growth of the lottery,
there will be more money for more
charities.

audited by an independent auditor.
Distribution of funds

The Swedish Postcode Lottery
combines a strong business
concept with a social ambition.
Responsibility for these two facets is shared between Novamedia

operates on the Swedish regulated
gambling market. The business
is run by Novamedia Svenska
PostkodLotteriet AB, which holds
the commercial risk and provides
the capital required for operating
the lottery.
The Swedish Postcode Association
holds the lottery licence. All beneficiaries of the lottery are members
of the Association.
The Board of the Association is
composed of leading representatives from society. Based on recommendations from the Charity
Department, the Board decides on
the addition of new beneficiaries
as well as how the proceeds are to
be distributed between the beneficiaries.

Distribution of
funds of the Dutch
Postcode Lottery
In the case of the Dutch Postcode
Lottery, recruitment and distribution go hand in hand. This is also
one of the reasons behind the success of the Dutch Postcode Lottery
in the Netherlands. It is efficient.
Finally, the organisation acts very
decisively. The highest executive body in the organisation, the
Supervisory Board, decides how
funds will be distributed every
year. Long-term contracts are
concluded with most beneficiaries, guaranteeing our support for a
longer period.
‘Baie dankie, Postcode Lottery’
Our ambassador Desmond Tutu, emeritus archbishop
and winner of the Nobel Peace Prize gave a very inspiring
speech during the Dutch Postcode Lottery’s Charity Gala,
in which he thanked the lottery and encouraged it to go
further.
‘One thing I hold true is that even in times of
strife we recognise that, as human beings,
you and I are really made for laughter. We are
made for caring. That’s when we really feel
good about ourselves. Not when you are doing
something for yourself, it’s when you reach out
to others that you find an extraordinary kind of
fulfilment. And on behalf of the very many you
help in so many parts of the world, I say: Baie
dankie.’
‘The Postcode Lottery helped God to make God’s world a caring world.’

Money for charities
People’s Postcode Lottery,
just like its sister lotteries,
is dedicated to raising vital
funds and awareness for
charities and good causes.
As of 2013, £34.3 Million
has been raised by our
players. From April 2013
onwards, the percentage
from every ticket going to
charity increased from 20%
to 22.5% with £10.2 Million
awarded to good causes.
This, along with more
people playing the lottery,
resulted in a 42% increase
in funds available.
Funds generated by players are
distributed by seven charitable
trusts that award regular grants to
a range of good causes.
These are: Postcode Green Trust,
Postcode Care Trust, Postcode
Culture Trust, Postcode Animal
Trust, Postcode Heroes Trust,
Postcode Global Trust and People’s
Postcode Trust.
At least 45p from every £2 ticket
supports one of these trusts.
Postcode Global Trust marked an
exciting first for lottery players in
Britain with funds supporting good
causes internationally.
More than 1,100 projects have
benefitted from funding of up
to £10,000. Apart from projectspecific support, all funds awarded
remain flexible so that the charity
can spend funds where and how
they wish. This is very special
in the funding world and allows
charities to seek other opportunities for match funding.

Players and Winners
With 653,124 winners and a total of 489,188 tickets
sold in 2013, this has been a record breaking year for
People’s Postcode Lottery. In the last 12 months, our
charity lottery has increased its active tickets by an
incredible 61%.
The Prize Plan
How to play?
A large part of this success revolves
around our efforts to bring players,
communities and the good causes
they help closer together, while
offering appealing monthly, weekly
and daily cash prizes.
This winning formula has seen
players of People’s Postcode
Lottery generate an amazing
£34.3 Million in the last 8 years.
Each lottery ticket costs £2, and
there are five draws every month.
Players play with their postcode
and this is their ticket. They register to play online, by telephone or
via our direct marketing materials
inserted in a wide range of local,
regional and national publications.
Players can pay for their ticket in a
number of different ways, including Direct Debit, a credit card or
PayPal. Any prizes are paid directly
into the winner’s account.

TV Advertising
(DRTV)
Direct Response TV is People’s
Postcode Lottery’s secret weapon.
We broadcast high volume,
selected daytime commercials
across digital channels. In 2013,
our commercials showed a
varied mix of many winners’ emotional reactions to receiving their
cheques, presented by our trusted
and enthusiastic ambassadors. The
response is measurable and kept
the phones busy and the online
team on their toes. The commercials reached over 47 million people - almost three quarters of the
UK’s population and have proved
a huge hit with the viewers, who
started talking about the adverts
on Twitter and Facebook. Our own
winning players have become our

best marketing tool recruiting new
players as well as building brand
awareness, which rose to over one
quarter of the population. Whether
you are a player or not, you’ve
heard about People’s Postcode
Lottery in Britain.
eGaming
This year, attention was given to
developing our eGaming. This is
another avenue for charity support with 10% of net profit going
to good causes. The results have
grown 100%.
Delighted player, Ranjit Virdi, jumps for joy after winning £100,000 and a
brand new BMW.
Social Media
Social media remains a key channel
to engage with players and potential players. Facebook and Twitter
in 2013 saw millions people learn
or gain awareness of People’s
Postcode Lottery in 2013. Part of
this success has been the frequent
‘online conversations’ with fans
and followers as well as specific
online competitions offering free
and additional chances to win.
Vote that Counts
Vote that Counts, a national competition in which the public vote
for their favourite charity, ran
nationally for the first time in
2013.

Lucky players in Port Talbot celebrate a Postcode Millions event for the second time in two years.
Our famous winner shouts “Derek,
we’re going to Benidorm.”
Following on from previous successes, 83,000 votes were received
for charities competing for
£100,000. The campaign was led
by People’s Postcode Trust working with The Daily Mirror. We saw
26 million people reached through
Twitter alone because Hollywood
heavy weight Katherine Heigl and
comedian Eddie Izzard lent their
support. The People’s Dispensary
for Sick Animals (PDSA) walked
away with the grand prize of
£50,000 after managing to secure
28% of the votes.

More players…
The Swedish Postcode Lottery keeps growing every
year. By the end of December 2013, 1,010,064 players
were taking part in the lottery with a record number of
1,836,685 tickets. This resulted in more money for charities as well as more money in the prize pot.
By using the potential of the market forces – marketing, television
entertainment and large lottery
prizes – we raise money that
would never have reached the
charities otherwise. And Swedish
players receive information about
these charities.
Players pay by direct debit and are
entered into all the draws of that
month. The winning postcodes
are announced every day. The
‘GrannYra’, the Swedish Postcode
Lottery´s biggest prize, is awarded
to a winning postcode three times
a year.
How to play
PostkodMiljonären
The Swedish Postcode Lottery is
based on the same format as the
other Postcode Lotteries, where
the lottery ticket number is based
on a postcode. The price of a lottery ticket is 160 Swedish kronor
a month, approximately €18.
‘PostkodMiljonären’ continues to
be one of Sweden’s most popular
TV shows, with the 700th episode
being broadcast in December 2013.
This game show, based on the
‘Who Wants to Be a Millionaire?’
format, is broadcast every Friday

Sjöberg, a well-known Swedish TV
personality.
The Friday show includes a feature
with the weekly draw results and
the postcode prizes, presented by
the Street Prize presenters, who
visit the winning neighbourhood
of the week. The Saturday show
includes a short feature about one
of the charities and also a lucky
winner scooping one million kronor. In October 2013, a number of
special episodes of ‘The Postcode
Millionaire’ were broadcast, featuring contestants representing several of the charities supported by
the Swedish Postcode Lottery. The
winnings in these special episodes
were presented to charities represented in the show.

Each Friday, the prize for the winning postcode is 100,000 Swedish

Charities always win
Since it began in 1989,
the Dutch Postcode Lottery
has contributed over €4.1
Billion to charity organisations dedicated to ‘people’
and ‘planet’. It now supports 101 charities worldwide and plays a pioneering
role in the quest for a fair
and enterprising, green and
responsible world.
The licence of the Dutch Postcode
Lottery stipulates that 50% of the
lottery’s revenue will be donated
to charity. Since its inception, our
revenue has grown every year. In
2013, it amounted to a record sum
of over €605.3 Million, representing a total contribution of almost
€302.6 Million to the charities.
This gave us room for new beneficiaries. The total number of charitable organisations supported in
2013 is 101, from which 8 received
a one-off contribution. The lottery
has a licence for 16 draws a year,
the proceeds of which are divided
among the beneficiaries.
Institutional support
The Dutch Postcode Lottery provides long-term institutional support to organisations working in
the areas of poverty alleviation,
human rights, nature conservation, the environment and social
cohesion in the Netherlands. The
Supervisory Board of Holding
Nationale Goede Doelen Loterijen

new charitable organisations to the
group of beneficiaries.
Long-term support
The Nationale Postcode Loterij
N.V. has contractual relationships
with its beneficiaries. Their annual
financial donation depends on the
proceeds of the lottery. Five-year
contracts are agreed with most of
the beneficiaries that joined after
1994. During the fifth year, the
beneficiary and the lottery evaluate
the relationship on the basis of the
results achieved by the organisation in the areas of ‘people’ and
‘planet’. One of the criteria is that
the organisation receives a substantial proportion of its income
from sources other than the lottery. Some of the organisations
supported by the lottery are listed
below.
Dream Fund
Our contribution enables the charitable organisations to complete
projects that actually make a difference. We introduced the Dream
Fund in 2009, with the aim of
allowing one or more beneficiaries
a year to fulfil a ‘precious’ dream.
This year we are supporting one
large scale Dream Project of two
international beneficiaries. With
our contribution of €14.4 Million
Peace Parks Foundation and
World Wide Fund for Nature start

growing demand for rhino horn in
primarily China and Vietnam and
driven by international criminal
syndicates, rhinos are under threat
of extinction. South Africa is now
one of the last countries to have
a significant population of rhinos
left in the wild.
Extra draws
We organise two annual extra
draws, bringing the total to 14
draws a year. The Supervisory
Board decides how the contribution is to be distributed, with the
beneficiaries submitting project

The Elders
Since its foundation by Nelson

resolution to protect the rights of
women. In May 2013, Kofi Annan
took over the chairmanship.

The Lottery awarded €14.4 Million from the Dream Fund to the Peace Parks Foundation and the World Wide Fund
for Nature to help save the rhinoceros from extinction. This rhino’s horn has been injected with colorant and a poison
that is harmless to him, making him worthless for poachers.
2013, we used €40.5 Million of the
proceeds to support 18 of these
extra projects.
For the Prince Claus Fund, culture
is a basic need and, for that reason,
is essential to the development of
mankind. At the beginning of the

Getting players
By the end of 2013, the Dutch Postcode Lottery had
2,638,049 players who played with a total of 4,492,775
lottery tickets. Turnover increased by more than 4.1%
from 2012 to a record €605.3 Million in 2013.
People play the lottery with a
lottery ticket number based on
their postcode. So winners of
the Postcode Street Prize or the
“PostcodeKanjer” are usually
neighbours. This is what makes
playing the Postcode Lottery so
unique: all the players in a street
or neighbourhood win together.
Television
Television continues to be an
invaluable medium for the Dutch
Postcode Lottery. As well as the
awarding of prizes, the television
programmes always feature one or
more of our charities. To promote
the recognisability of the lottery,
the major prizes are presented by
lottery ambassadors.
In 2013, the prize pot amounted to
no less than €215 Million.

In March, April, October and

The popular programme “Postcode
Loterij Eén tegen 100” (Postcode
Lottery One Against 100), presented by Caroline Tensen, has
been high in the viewer ratings
ever since it started in 2000. In
April, no fewer than 1.4 million
viewers watched this exciting
game show. A permanent feature
of the programme is the Postcode
Street Prize awarded by Gaston
Starreveld.
“Postcode Lottery One Against 100” with Caroline Tensen continues to be popular. In April, almost 1.4 million viewers watched this exciting game show.
The December “PostcodeKanjer” amounted to €48.9 million, of which €21.45 Million was shared by nine players in Vrouwenpolder, Zeeland.
When the Postcode Street Prize
was announced every working day
in September, the award was seen
right before the evening news.
The most popular morning programme in the Netherlands,
“Koffietijd” (Coffee Time) provides charitable organisations
with a platform for drawing
attention to their work. Coffee

every day. This programme
is broadcast on weekdays

Mailings
and publicity
We also sent out letters to announce the
“PostcodeKanjer” of €48.9 Million.
Recruiting new players relies heavily
on the national
campaigns for the
“PostcodeKanjers”,
the Postcode Prize,
the “Koningsprijs”,
the “EuroKanjers”,
the Street Prizes and
“Miljoenenjacht”. The
“PostcodeKanjer” at the
end of December even featured
a unique film – Cinderella – in
which the winning postcodes
were announced. Almost two million people watched this. In this
respect, television was an important channel for reaching Dutch
people as tickets were not for sale
in shops.
Apart from television, we also used
letters, e-mails, billboards, campaign websites, dynamic bus shelters, joint promotions and social
media.
In these campaigns, we drew attention to our aims. With posters,
banners on websites, commercials on radio and TV, telephone
and letters, our main goal was to
recruit players. In documentaries,
special websites and reports, the
emphasis lay on information about
our charities.
We also featured regularly in
national newspapers. Every week,
for the seventh year in succession, we placed a full-page “For
Example” advertisement in a
national newspaper featuring one
of the charitable organisations.
The national and regional media
devote a lot of space to the Dutch
Postcode Lottery: our prize-winners, our support for charities and
other projects.
“Kanjers”
At the beginning of June, during
the TV programme “One Against

“PostcodeKanjer” of €18.9 Million
had been won in Udenhout.

Prize, which is drawn every

In 2013, there were five draws for
the Super Postcode Prize of

The “EuroKanjers” are a joint
venture with the British People’s
Postcode Lottery. There were
three draws for the prize in 2013.
In July, for example, the prize of
€3.24 Million was shared between
players in Assen, while winners in
Britain shared €360,000.
Finally, there were a further two
large money prizes in March and
May. The Postcode Prize was
shared in Arnhem and amounted
to €6.6 Million. Players in
Gendringen in Gelderland shared
the “Koningsprijs” (King’s Prize)
of €4.4 Million.
For every big “Kanjer” prize, we hold a street party to which all the neighbourhood residents are welcome, as here in
Gendringen.
The largest part of the prize €42.9 Million was shared over
one postcode and the surrounding
neighbourhood. In addition, players with six postcodes throughout
the country shared €1 Million.
The “PostcodeKanjer” of €42.9
Million was finally shared in the
little village of Vrouwenpolder in
Zeeland. The media showed enormous interest. It was front-page
headlines in national newspapers
while TV news gave it extensive
coverage. The prize even made
the headlines over the borders in
Belgium and Germany.

prizes have a ‘green’ theme. We
awarded more than 6,000 Postcode
Lottery bicycles.

Internet
and social media
Twitter, LinkedIn, Facebook and
text messaging have become
regular communication channels for the lottery. The website
is an important means of informing players about the lottery, our
activities and the charities. Social
media also enable interaction with
players.
Many of our players now get the
draw results via one of these channels or a special app. In fact, the
draw results are increasingly the
subject of tweets and text messages. In 2013, we conducted
various campaigns via Facebook,
like ‘What would you do with a
million?’

The Dutch Postcode Lottery has
a strong team of ambassadors

which has exactly the same material qualities as the traditional
brick and costs the same. Dosier
plans to make her patented technology available to brick factories
around the world.
The judges, chaired by Richard
Branson, selected two runners-up
from a total of 311 entries in the
2013 contest for environmentally
productive and commercially
viable products. One runner-up
was Patrick Heuts, presenting the
O-foil, a revolutionary propulsion
system for ships inspired by the
swimming motion of dolphins.
A working prototype was installed
on a river barge, resulting in a
50% reduction in fuel consumption.

Allaard, went sky high to harvest
wind energy at altitudes of 300
to 600 meters. The PowerPlane

ground-level turbine.
Reducing carbon emissions is the
aim of the Postcode Lottery Green
Challenge, which was awarded
for the seventh time in 2013.
This year, the three winners were
inspired by shellfish, dolphins and
high winds. This year’s winner of
the €500,000 prize was American
architect and multi-scientist
Ginger Dosier who invented bio-

force of bacteria for the production of bricks. The common brick,
baked of clay at temperatures of up

Charities for culture
The beneficiaries of the
BankGiro Lottery work in
the field of culture and the
preservation of cultural
heritage. We are the leading culture lottery in the
Netherlands, providing longterm support for 58 and
one-off support for 12 top
institutions. Half of every
lottery ticket sold goes to
these charities, amounting
to almost €62.5 Million in
2013.
Distribution
of the contributions
Long-term beneficiaries receive an
annual contribution from the lottery for a period of five years. Our
contribution is intended for the
purchase, restoration and presentation of permanent collections, and
The opening of the Rijksmuseum was celebrated widely throughout Amsterdam. The museum was opened
by Queen Beatrix of the Netherlands.
for the purchase and restoration of
monuments. Within these parameters, the beneficiary organisations
can establish their own priorities.
They report back to the lottery on
this every year.
Any extra funds are assigned to
new long-term beneficiaries and/
or one-off funding. Large-scale
and/or innovative projects and
high-profile projects in the cultural
or heritage sectors may qualify
for one-off funding. Some of the
organisations supported by the lottery are listed below.
The Concertgebouw in Amsterdam celebrated its 125th anniversary and
hosted the BankGiro Lottery Summer Concerts.
The charities
The Museumplein is the centre
of art and culture in Amsterdam.
Around the square are grouped
the Rijksmuseum, the Van Gogh
Museum, the Stedelijk Museum
and The Concertgebouw. We’re
proud to support all of these institutions. 2013 was an exciting year
for all of these beneficiaries.
The Rijksmuseum is the biggest
museum in the Netherlands and
is celebrated for its collection of
paintings from the Dutch Golden
Age. Following extensive restoration and reorganisation, the
museum reopened in April 2013,
and welcomed more than two

More new museums
Thanks to our support, museums
all over Holland were also able
to enhance their collections. The
Fries Museum in the north of the
Netherlands built a completely
new museum in the centre of
Leeuwarden, which was opened by
Queen Maxima in September.
In the east of the Netherlands,
the Museum de Fundatie was
entirely renovated. And so was the
Noordbrabants Museum in the
south of the Netherlands.
Purchases
The Mauritshuis acquired a major work by the influential 16th century landscape painter Paul Bril.
This limestone bust from 500 BC is a
unique addition to the Rijksmuseum
van Oudheden in Leiden.
42
million visitors in the first eight
months. Thanks to our extra donation, the sculpture gardens could
be completely redesigned.
The Van Gogh Museum in
Amsterdam houses the largest collection of works by Vincent van
Gogh in the world. In 2013, the
museum underwent a minor restoration, but will receive an extra
contribution over the next three
years to fund its ambitious plan for
a completely new entrance area.
The Stedelijk Museum has also
undergone a radical, long-term
make-over. With stunning exhibitions such as the Kazimir Malevich
retrospective, it is rapidly regaining its position among the leading
European museums of modern art.
Throughout 2013, the
Concertgebouw celebrated its
125th anniversary with special
concerts and performances, fully
justifying its position as one of the
best concert halls in the world.
Our support has also been important for the purchasing budgets
of Dutch museums, enabling our
beneficiaries to acquire outstanding artworks every year.
The Rijksmuseum van Oudheden
in Leiden (Dutch National
Museum of Antiquities) has
acquired a unique limestone statue
from Cyprus. It dates back to the
5th century BC and is of unrivalled
quality. Comparable statues are
only to be found in the collections of the Louvre and the British
Museum.
The Mauritshuis acquired a major
work by the influential 16th century landscape painter Paul Bril
(1553/1554-1626). He greatly
influenced other painters with
landscapes such as his minutely
detailed “Mountain landscape with
Saint Jerome” (1592) which was
painted on copper.
With our help, Museum Boijmans
Van Beuningen in Rotterdam
acquired a rare triptych from the
beginning of the 15th century. The
painting depicts the embalming of
Christ and was painted in Bruges
around 1410-1420 by an unknown
artist. There remain only 20 to
30 paintings produced in the Low
Countries in this period.
This rare triptych from the beginning of the 15th century now belongs to the
Museum Boijmans Van Beuningen in Rotterdam.
See www.bankgiroloterij.nl for a description of all charities.
Focus on the players
At the end of 2013, the
BankGiro Lottery had
567,057 players who played
with a total of 833,536
tickets. It contributed a minimum of 50% of its revenue
to charitable organisations
working on culture and the
preservation of cultural heritage. The ticket number is
based on the player’s bank
account number.
In 2013, we launched a
new prize concept in the
form of the “KluisKraker”
(Safecracker).
The “KluisKraker” campaign
started in August. We made the
prizes bigger and the lot numbers
smaller. Before that, the entire
bank account number was the lot
number; now it is just the last five
figures. This enables more winners
to share the big prizes.
The “KluisKraker” campaign was
large-scale with TV and radio
commercials, bus shelter advertising, banners, letters, websites
and e-mails. The “KluisKraker”
was drawn twice in 2013. The
first time, in August, was for €2.2
Million. In December, the winners
shared €2.4 Million.
Choosing
for yourself
In 2013 we expanded the option
for players to choose which
cultural institution they want
to support. After all, if players
can choose where 50% of their

money goes, their involvement
will increase. From 1 May, eight
new museums were earmarked in
addition to the existing four. The
Drents Museum was particularly
successful in recruiting new players.
Television
From 3 September, our programme
“Max Monumentaal” was shown
on Dutch public television. Over
eight episodes, we presented 16
listed buildings that would have
been lost had it not been for the
right expertise and the necessary
funding. Thanks to our financial
support, the necessary renovation
can now be carried out.
The most popular morning programme on Dutch TV, with almost
200,000 viewers, is “Koffietijd”
(Coffee Time). Among other
things, this programme offers
charitable organisations a platform
to showcase their work. There’s
a different theme every day, with
Thursdays being devoted to art
and culture.
Stars on Canvas
One of our most popular television
programmes is “Sterren op het
Doek” (Stars on Canvas) in which
presenter Hanneke Groenteman
plays host to well-known Dutch
people who are painted by three
different artists while being inter-
viewed. At the end of the programme, the celebrity can take one
of the three paintings home with
him; the other two are auctioned
for charity. The programme has
been very successful for six years
now and we commissioned eight
episodes in 2013.
Blockbusterfonds
In 2012, we launched the
“Blockbusterfonds” (Blockbuster
Fund). This fund stimulates and
initiates innovative and exceptional cultural exhibitions and
events. The BankGiro Lottery collaborates on this with beneficiary
the Prince Bernhard Cultural
Fund, the VSB Fund and the

the Jackpot, which was drawn for
the last time in July and totalled
€812,305. Other big prizes
included five €100,000 prizes in
the extra draw in October.
We also surprised our players
with a wide variety of prizes that
included tickets for museums,
theme parks, musicals and the
cinema, as well as dinner and gift
vouchers.
Almost 28,000 winners visited the
Historic Grand Prix at Zandvoort
racing circuit, where we raffled a

VandenEnde Foundation. The
BankGiro Lottery contributes to
this by buying tickets for events
supported by the fund, which are
then awarded to players.
The grants from the Blockbuster
Fund in 2013 were for the exhi-
bitions “Petra. Miracle in the
Desert” in the Rijksmuseum
van Oudheden, “The Dead Sea
Scrolls” in the Drents Museum
and ‘Malevich’ in the Stedelijk
Museum, among others.

prizes. These included money
prizes, prizes in kind and an
increasing number of cultural
prizes. The “Kluiskraker” replaced
The BankGiro Lottery Concerts
are a summer tradition in which
we bring pop and classical music
together in The Concertgebouw. In
2013, we held a third series of five
concerts. More than 4,000 players won two tickets for concerts
organised especially for them.
Well-known Dutch musicians
such as Racoon, Iris Hond and
Rob de Nijs performed alongside
BankGiro Lottery ambassador Ilse
DeLange.
The BankGiro Lottery raffled a fully restored Porsche.
Internet
and social media
Twitter, LinkedIn, Facebook and
text messaging have become
regular communication channels
for the lottery. The website is an
important means of informing
members about the lottery, our
activities and the charities. The
social media enable interaction
with players.
Co-operation
Windmill “De Vriendschap” in
Veenendaal was one of mills
that could be visited during the
“BankGiro Loterij Molendagen”.
Ambassador Ilse DeLange and Racoon performed in the five special
BankGiro Lottery Concerts.
Publicity
From April to October inclusive,
there were more than thirty provincial and regional BankGiro
Lottery “Molendagen” (Windmill
Days). These were organised by
the Dutch Windmill Association
and provided the public with
an opportunity to take a close
look at the windmills. The same
association also organised the
BankGiro Lottery Windmill
Prize – an annual public prize to
which we contributed €50,000.
Another initiative that got a lot
of publicity was the Museum
Prize. This is a collaborative effort
between the lottery, the Prince
Bernhard Cultural Fund and the
Dutch Museum Association. The
BankGiro Lottery Museum Prize
2013 was for the museum that was
most successful in appealing to a
group or community. The prize
of €100,000 went to the Jewish
Historical Museum.
From 20 to the 29 September 2013
there was the first “Fotoweek”
(Photo Week) in which the
whole of the Netherlands turned
its attention to photography.
“Fotoweek” is an initiative
of Foam and the Nederlands
Fotomuseum and was supported
by our extra contribution.
In co-operation with our beneficiaries, we ran special campaigns
for their visitors. These people are
interested in culture and might
therefore like to take part in the
Netherlands’ culture lottery – the
BankGiro Lottery.
In June, for example, there
was a special campaign for the
Rijksmuseum’s project “Alle kinderen naar de Nachtwacht” (All
children to the Night Watch).
Children were taken to the
museum in the Rijksmuseum Bus
to view Rembrandt’s masterpiece.
BankGiro Lottery Ambassadors
Albert Verlinde,
musical and theatre producer and TV presenter:
“What I like about the
BankGiro Lottery is that it
makes Dutch culture better
known.”
Henk van Os,
former director of the
Rijksmuseum:
“It’s important to preserve our
cultural heritage, because that
tells us who we are.”
Harmen Siezen,
former newsreader:
“I’m happy to make an effort
to recruit as many members
as possible for the BankGiro
Lottery because culture in the
Netherlands deserves to be
preserved.”
Ilse DeLange,
singer:
“I’m a passionate ambassador of the BankGiro Lottery
because I’m totally in favour
of getting more people to
enjoy culture.”

The FriendsLottery
(VriendenLoterij) was set up
to raise funds for charitable
organisations working in the
fields of health and wellbeing in the Netherlands.
The lottery has been doing
this for 24 years. In 2013,
the lottery contributed
€48.7 Million to charities.
Distribution
of the contributions
FriendsLottery players can choose
for themselves which organisation
they want to support. For each lottery ticket sold, 50% of the ticket

price goes to the chosen organisation.
About 3,200 clubs and associations take part in this, ranging from small associations with
only a couple of tickets, to very
big ones. Such as Stichting Het
Vergeten Kind (The Forgotten
Child Foundation) that received
more than €136,000 for improving
the living conditions of children
in reception centres. Half of the
players play for a cause that they
choose themselves; the other half
support regular beneficiaries of the
lottery, promoting health and wellbeing. Some of the organisations
supported by the lottery are listed
below.
Well-being
For ten years, she was unbeatable
and her impressive string of consecutive victories stopped at 470.
On 12 February, Esther Vergeer
bade farewell to a top sporting
career that had brought her seven
gold medals in the Paralympic
Games. The wheelchair tennisplayer decided to focus on her
Foundation that provides sporting
opportunities for children with a
disability throughout the world.
This provides them with a better
position in society. In November,
Esther launched a series of 30
sport clinics at schools for disabled
children.
In March, seventeen children with
diabetes received special football
training at Ajax, the Dutch football champions. The Bas van de
Goor Foundation of former volleyball international Bas van de
Goor gave them an opportunity
to train at this prestigious club.
Former footballers and current
Ajax trainers Frank and Ronald de
Boer and Kenneth Perez personally led the various exercises. They
were so impressed with one of the
participants that he’s been allowed
to train once with an Ajax youth
team.

In autumn, we introduced “VriendenFonds” (FriendsFund) – a fund that
enables our beneficiaries to fulfil the special wishes of deserving people.
Health
No fewer than 120,000 players of
the FriendsLottery have played
for the VUmc Cancer Center in
Amsterdam since 2007. In 2011,
this enabled the opening of the
fast-diagnosis outpatients’ clinic
– a state-of-the-art diagnosis and
treatment centre. In this unique

clinic, cancer patients can receive
a fast diagnosis – often within 48
hours – and a made-to-measure
treatment plan. One in eight
women in the Netherlands gets
breast cancer. The Pink Ribbon
organisation is doing something
about that. The foundation supports scientific research and
finances psycho-social and social
projects to improve patient care.
October saw the launch of the
Robbin app, based on the principles of mental fitness. The app is
financed by Pink Ribbon and is a
valuable addition to the arsenal of
psycho-social support for breast
cancer patients.
Living with a kidney disease is
mentally and physically taxing.
Actually dialysis is about survival
rather than living. Transplantation
is the best treatment but the
waiting list is too long. The
Nierstichting (Kidney Foundation)
does its utmost to ensure that
kidney patients not only survive
but have a real life. In June, the
Foundation announced that they
are working on a worldwide breakthrough with a portable artificial
kidney.
Heroes
Footballers from the Dutch premier division are using their
fame in the interests of health
and well-being in society. One
example is the record international player and Champions
League winner Edwin van der
Sar. Under the slogan ‘Never ever
give up’, Edwin van der Sar and
his wife Annemarie have established a foundation for people
with brain damage. The foundation stimulates this group to take
exercise during rehabilitation and
afterwards. The Hersenstichting
(Brain Foundation), the Edwin
van der Sar Foundation, Fit!vak
and Sportgeneeskunde Nederland
launched the initiative with Meet
me @ the Gym as a national project to make sports centres accessible to people with a brain injury.
This project was funded through a
donation from the FriendsLottery.
Edwin and Annemarie van der Sar open the rehabilitation centre at the VUmc hospital in Amsterdam.
See www.vriendenloterij.nl for a description of all charities.
Every player counts
At the end of 2013, the
FriendsLottery had 526,109
players with a total of
1,227,491 tickets. It contributed a minimum of 50%
of its revenue to charitable
organisations working on
health and well-being.
The FriendsLottery also enables
members to decide for themselves
which charities they want to play
for. Apart from national charities,
our members also frequently play
for clubs and associations in their
own neighbourhoods; organisations for which they have a soft
spot or in which they have or feel
an interest and that they want to
support financially. For example,
because their child is a member of
the club or because they use that
community centre. This ensures
extra involvement on the part of
members.

Prizes
Ambassador Lucille Werner (centre) presented the 5,000th edition of the TV
programme “Lingo”.
Every week, there are big money
prizes to be won, rising to
€100,000. And once a year there’s
a star prize of €1 Million.
As well as money prizes, the lottery awards thousands of prizes in
kind, such as cars, scooters, flatscreen TVs, travel vouchers, iPads
and bicycles. In 2013, we gave
away gastronomic holidays, dinner vouchers, skiing holidays and
hotel and musical packages.
Television
Exposure on television is important for the FriendsLottery and
its beneficiaries. In 2013 too, the
FriendsLottery lent its name to
the game show “Lingo”. Every
weekday at around dinnertime,
this show is watched by an average
of 800,000 people and has been a
success for many years. September
saw the broadcast of the 5,000th
edition. In the programme
“FriendsLottery: The Winners”,
presenter Rick Brandsteder and
our ambassadors presented the
week’s star prize every Sunday.
The programme “Koffietijd”

the most popular morning show
in the Netherlands. The broadcasts
provide the charitable organisations with a platform for their
work.
Campaigns
In the September recruitment campaign, ambassador Gerard Joling
appealed to the Netherlands to play,
and maybe win €1Million.
50
In the campaign “Heel Nederland
speelt mee” (The entire
Netherlands is playing with you)
our new ambassador, the very
popular Dutch singer Gerard
Joling, used a helicopter to appeal
to everyone to take part. Every
new member received a campaign
prize and could play for free for a
month.
We increasingly run joint campaigns with beneficiaries and
other partners. These enable our
commercial partners to show their
social engagement.
Clubs
and associations
The FriendsLottery concept
appeals to more and more
clubs and organisations in the
Netherlands. At the end of 2013
there were about 3,200 affiliated organisations. These clubs
and organisations sell tickets for
their own club. Players of the
FriendsLottery can always play for
a cause they choose themselves
and every non-profit institution
can benefit. 50% of the stake goes
straight to the club’s own account.
The FriendsLottery stimulates
Prize-winners and charitable
organisations regularly get local,
regional and national media
attention. For example, there’s
the Sportiviteitsprijs, an initiative of VU Connected and the
FriendsLottery. We use the prize
to reward sports initiatives that
contribute to more sportsmanship in the Netherlands. The winners receive €10,000 and €5,000
respectively.
On International Volunteer
Day, 7 December, Martin van
Rijn, the Secretary of State and
minister Ronald Plasterk, presented the Meer dan Handen
(More than Hands) Awards. The
FriendsLottery made three contributions of €5,000 and two of
€2,500 available for this.
Internet
and social media
Internet and social media have
become permanent channels of
communication for the lottery. The
website is an important way of
informing members about the lottery, its activities and the charities,
while social media enable interaction with the participants.
Committed to sport
The FriendsLottery is strongly
committed to sport as a way of
achieving health and well-being.
We unite with professional sportteams to emphasize the importance of sport and other club-
related activities. For this reason,
the lottery is a social partner of
Dutch premier division football.
This generates recognition and
attention to sport as a way of
achieving health and well-being,
particularly for young people. The
lottery is visible in Dutch stadiums
at all premier division matches and
on TV broadcasts showing highlights of the matches.
To promote sport as a way of
achieving health and well-being,
we have run a number of campaigns together with the clubs.
The intention of the “More than
Football Week” has been to use
all sorts of campaigns to stimulate
clubs and volunteers to set up new
initiatives.
The “Vriendenseats” (Friends Seats) in the stadium of national champions Ajax was one of the special prizes in
2013.
FriendsLottery
Ambassadors
The FriendsLottery has a strong
team of ambassadors who
spread the word about the importance of the lottery and the good
work of its beneficiaries.
Richard Krajicek,
Wimbledon tennis
champion 1996:
“When injuries
meant that I had to
bid farewell to professional tennis, I
felt how awful it is
when you can’t do
things that you want to do. I’ve increasingly come to realise how important the
support of the FriendsLottery is. They
often make the impossible come true,
particularly for children, who need it
most.”
Giovanni van
Bronckhorst,
former football
player for Arsenal,
Feyenoord and FC
Barcelona:
“Together we create
opportunities that
allow children in
sports clubs to face the future with promise. They’ve deserved that, because all
children deserve that.”
Dirk Kuyt,
former Feyenoord
and Liverpool
footballer (now
Fenerbahçe):
“I’d like to thank
all members of the
FriendsLottery for
their support for
charities like my Dirk Kuyt Foundation
and others that focus on health and wellbeing. After all, you don’t win without
top scorers.”
Edwin
van der Sar,
former goalkeeper
for Ajax, Juventus
and Manchester
United:
“We’re very happy
with the support
we get from the
FriendsLottery. Because of that, we can
give people with an acquired brain disorder the exercise that they need so very
much.”
Esther Vergeer,
former wheelchair tennis
star and 7-times
Paralympic champion:
“Being and staying
healthy is something that you have
to work at every day and I’m happy to
make my contribution to that. That’s
why the work of the FriendsLottery is so
important. And as many people as possible should know that.”
Gerard Joling,
singer and TV presenter:
“The charities
supported by the
FriendsLottery
appeal to me.
Together, lottery
members support
tens of organisations and thousands of
clubs and associations that are committed to health and well-being.”
Lucille Werner,
presenter of the
popular Dutch
game show Lingo:
“Disabled people
should also dare to
take the initiative
themselves. Success
in society depends
first and foremost on your own attitude.
Thanks to the FriendsLottery, the Lucille
Werner Foundation can show that in all
our media and television productions!”

CHAPTER 7
Our structure
Novamedia Executive Board
A growing total of 802 people work for Novamedia/
Postcode Lotteries. The majority work in the customer
service teams that provide direct contact with members.
The structure of each lottery organisation varies from
country to country, depending on the size of the organisation and on the lottery licences.
Novamedia
The three Postcode Lotteries were
set up by Novamedia, a Dutch
company based in Amsterdam.
Novamedia was established in
1983 to implement innovative,
commercial marketing techniques
on behalf of local and international
charities. In 1989, this led to the
launch of Novamedia’s first lottery:
the Dutch Postcode Lottery in the
Netherlands.
In 1998, the FriendsLottery joined
the Dutch Charity Lotteries, followed by the BankGiro Lottery
in 2002. The Postcode Lotteries
in Great Britain and Sweden were
launched in 2005.
Novamedia is the owner of the
Postcode Lottery format and
brand. It receives licence fees and
management fees from the lotteries. Novamedia is a marketing and
media company with a social mission. It organises charity lotteries
that raise funds and awareness of
organisations working for people
and planet.
Novamedia also uses its media
know-how and expertise to promote a society with well-informed
citizens. This is furthered
through its publishing subsidiary Uitgeverij Nieuw Amsterdam/
Wereldbibliotheek and the ECI
book club and web shop. 80 per
cent of the shares of Novamedia
is now owned by the independent Novamedia Foundation Trust.
The Executive Board consists of
Boudewijn Poelmann (CEO),
Ruud Esser (CFO) and Sigrid van
Aken (COO). The Board is supported by a team of Company
Directors: Annemiek Hoogenboom
(Director Great Britain),
Jan Oostrom (IT Director), Eva
Struving (International and
Charity Director) and Harold
Zwaal (Commercial Director).
There is also a team of Functional
Company Directors
Boudewijn Poelmann
Directors: Sandor Brouwer
(Business Development Director),
Simone van Bijsterveldt (Finance
Director), Martijn van Klaveren
(Communications Director) and
Virginie Kuijer (HR Director).

CHAPTER 8
Corporate Social Responsibility
Novamedia/Postcode
Lotteries is a socially driven
organisation. We want to
make the world better. The
money that we provide to
help our beneficiaries contribute to a better world is
earned by operating charity
lotteries. However, we need
to practice what we preach:
it is our goal to stimulate
what is best for the planet
and its people all over the
world, so we have to set
the right example.
Planet First!
In 2009, the lotteries in the
Netherlands, Sweden and Great
Britain adopted a firm stance
towards CSR. Together with
the Institute for Sustainable
Innovation & Development
(INSID) we formalised a sustainability vision called ‘Planet First!’.
This ‘Planet First!’ vision shaped
our CSR strategy. Furthermore, we
considered the sustainability issues
important to our main stakeholders at that time: participants, beneficiaries, employees, government
and political parties. This was
achieved by carrying out a material issue analysis that led to the
following relevant CSR themes:
Fair and Real Cost Pricing, Planet,
People and Openness.
Our CSR strategy and selection
of themes are based on the belief
that we need to start by setting
the right example within our own
organisation. However, we do
realise that our social impact lies
54

beyond our own organisation,
with the beneficiaries receiving
our contributions and winners
receiving their prizes. The themes
of Planet and People focus mainly
on our own internal organisation,
while the themes of Openness and
Fair and Real Cost Pricing focus
on maximising our positive social
impact.
Fair and
real cost pricing
This concerns what the actual cost
of a product is and whether a fair
price has been paid for it. It also
includes the cost of pollution and
working environment. For example, for the last few years we have
used FSC (Forest Stewardship
Council)-certified paper as much
as possible. Today, 89% of the
paper used by the Dutch lotteries
is FSC-certified and/or is recycled. In Sweden, this is 92% and
in Great Britain it is 99.8%. Other
certifications are also used. For
example, the coffee and tea have
Fairtrade certification and meals
are organic where possible.
Code of conduct
started implementing the code of
conduct for suppliers. The first
step was to ask all our main suppliers to commit themselves to our
code. At the end of 2013, 204 of
our 806 significant suppliers had
committed themselves to the code
(25.3%).
We also initiated an in-house dialogue on prizes that are sustainable
and will keep our customers on
board.
Planet
In the interests of our future, the
earth needs to become our priority again. Only if we adequately
protect the environment, use our
natural resources sustainably and
share these resources fairly, can we
create a solid basis for real prosperity.
Having as little negative impact on
the environment as possible and
even creating a positive impact are
criteria for our own operations.
Two sustainability themes focus on
reducing the negative impact on
the environment:
1. Carbon footprint;
2. Energy dependency and local
sourcing of renewable energy.
Carbon footprint
being carried out on the possibilities of doing this for the lotteries
in the Netherlands.
We have set ourselves the target
of using 100% renewable energy.
This target has already been met
by Novamedia. The Dutch Charity
Lotteries use 78% renewable
energy and in Sweden this is 84%.
All our entities have set themselves
the target of sourcing 100% of
their energy from the home country by 2015. Both the Swedish and
People’s Postcode Lottery met this
target in 2012 and 2013. In the
Netherlands, this is more difficult
to achieve. The gas supply in the
Netherlands is not guaranteed to
be from the home country. The
Dutch Charity Lotteries have
increased the amount of energy
sourced from the home country to
46% and Novamedia remained at
25%.
By 2015, we want to sustainably source 20% of our energy in
ownership. Only for the Swedish
Postcode Lottery does this target
not apply as they are dependent on
their landlord for their energy supply. We will research the possibilities of reaching this target in the
coming years.
New office
vided everything we were looking
for.
For sustainability purposes, we
insisted on inhabiting an empty
building instead of building a new
office. Our new and spacious office
provides us with a chance to make
a new start, in which we can apply
our values. The building will be
completely stripped on the inside
and equipped with sustainable features. Furthermore, as this building is much more spacious than
our current office, we will be able
to incorporate our social mission.
In December 2013 the Dutch
Charity Lotteries acquired a new
head office. On the outskirts of
Amsterdam’s main business district, the Zuidas, we found an
empty office building that pro-
In 2013, our overall emissions of
CO2 per FTE (full-time equivalent)
fell by 12% despite the growth of
the organisations. The reduction
was highest in Sweden with 32%.
The Dutch lotteries now have five
electric cars. We have set ourselves
the target of fully compensating
all our remaining CO2 emissions.
This target was met in 2013 by
the Dutch Charity Lotteries and
the Swedish Postcode Lottery. In
Sweden, we are even climate neutral according to GHG Corporate
Value Chain Standard (Scope 3).
Energy dependency
and local sourcing
of renewable energy
In the long term, energy independence will form the basis of a completely renewable energy supply.
In striving towards this, we are
currently focusing on purchasing
‘green’ electricity produced locally.
The final aim is to produce our
own renewable energy. Research is
We also focus on sustainability in our prizes, as in the case of these ‘Postkodlotteriet’ bicycles in Sweden.
55
Staff engagement
Here the team of the lottery in Great Britain enjoy their Christmas Breakfast together.
People
Only with an engaged, welldeveloped and diverse group of
employees are we able to work
towards our mission and create
a better world. Our core values,
‘courageous’, ‘sustainable’, ‘sharing’
and ‘fun’ are fundamental to good
employment.
Three items are central to this.
Much of this concerns in-company
training programmes that we
organise ourselves. The rest of the
education budget is intended for
training employees or departments
at external training institutes.
The total investment in training
and development increased by
8.8%.
Training
and development
We constantly work on the professionalism and development of our
employees. For this reason, the
training programmes are not only
geared to occupational development, but also to raising social
awareness, personal effectiveness
and growth. Every year, we make
substantial investments in education and training our employees.
56
The Dutch lotteries have several electric and hybrid cars.
All our entities are considered
to be a Great Place to Work®.
Although we are pleased with the
results, we consider it important to
maintain employee satisfaction.
In May 2013, 322 employees and
46 teams from all our lotteries
signed up for the Global Corporate
Challenge (GCC). GCC is meant
to stimulate easy physical exercise
in the work place: all you have
to do is simply count your steps.
People’s Postcode Lottery was
even awarded the title ‘World’s
Most Active Organisation 2013’
in the Advertising Media and
Entertainment category. They
managed a massive 443,266,730
steps in 16 weeks.
In all lotteries, our employees carried out voluntary work in working hours. Towards the end of the
year, the employees of People’s
Postcode Lottery joined forces
with a local social business to
make and deliver sandwiches to
the capital’s homeless. Employees
of the Dutch Charity Lotteries
took a group of elderly people
for a day out at the beach. They
pushed them around in special
beach wheelchairs, made sure that
nothing was lacking, and gave
them an unforgettable day.
Diversity
The Charity Lotteries aim to reflect
society in the Netherlands, Sweden
and Great Britain in terms of diversity of management and employees. Where possible, we try to
recruit people who are far-removed
from the job market. To achieve
this, there is also an active policy
to reach employees from every
stratum of society.
The total number of FTEs in our
entire organisation grew by 8%
(2012: 565.7 FTEs and in 2013:
609.2). We consider that the balance between men and women
in our entire workforce is good:
55.6% of our staff is female. The
balance between men and women
in the management team improved
with the introduction of two new
female management team members.
For years, the Christmas Breakfast has been a popular tradition for employees of the Dutch lotteries.
Openness
The basic principles for organising
a responsible lottery are reliability, accessibility and transparency.
Raising funds in a sustainable
way is the Charity Lotteries’ mission. For us, Corporate Social
Responsibility also means ensuring responsible gaming and being
transparent. We aim to be transparent in the way we communicate, about our internal organisation and on how the revenues are
spent.
Responsible gaming
The winning Dutch team in the Global Corporate Challenge: they took the
most steps in a period of 16 weeks.
With more than 5 million participants and total revenue of almost
€1.2 Billion, we have a big responsibility towards both participants
and charities alike. Responsible
gaming entails organising a fair
and honest lottery so that participants are well informed, enjoy
taking part and are happy with the
way we raise funds for charities.
It is always up to the participant
whether he or she takes part in the
lottery.
The measures that we have taken
in the Netherlands have resulted
in a further drop in the number of complaints upheld by the
Advertising Code Commission
from five to four. One complaint
was entirely upheld and the other
three only partially upheld.
By communicating clearly with
the participants, we try to limit the
number of queries to zero.
Both in Sweden and in Great
Britain we received one complaint,
neither of which was upheld.
At the end of 2013, the customer
experience team of the People’s
Postcode Lottery was awarded an
accreditation by the Institute of
Customer Experience.
57
Transparency
The Charity Lotteries receive over
€1.2 Billion in revenues each year.
This money comes from participants who have the chance to win
fantastic prizes. They can also
take pride in the fact that a large
The detailed Planet First!
report 2013 is available
on the website:
www.novamedia.com
proportion of that money goes
to charity (in 2013, 50% for the
Dutch lotteries, about 25.5% for
the British lottery and 35% for the
Swedish lottery).
Integrity and
compliance with
legislation
and regulations
All of our processes, particularly
the draws, must be honest and
comply with current legislation.
Therefore each draw is carried out
under the supervision of a civil-
law solicitor. The lotteries are also
closely monitored by external
supervisors in other areas. During
the reporting year, there were no
significant issues with the draws
or with the payments to participants and beneficiaries. This was
confirmed for all countries by
the auditors. Incidents in the
draw process were promptly
identified and effectively
analysed and resolved. We
want to continue this
high standard in the
future.
The Dutch Postcode Lottery provides personal guidance for winners of the big money
prizes, and also publishes a book of tips.
Ripple of Hope Award
In December 2013, the Swedish Postcode Lottery
received The Ripple of Hope Award in New York. It was
the first time that a Swedish organisation has received
this award. The Ripple of Hope Award is presented by
the Robert F. Kennedy Center for Justice and Human
Rights.
This award acknowledged th Swedish Postcode Lottery’s dedication to social work, especially its big contribution to charitable
causes.
The Robert F. Kennedy Ripple of Hope Award lauds leaders of the
international business, entertainment, and activist communities
who demonstrate commitment to social change.
Previous honourees include President Bill Clinton, Archbishop
Desmond Tutu, Bono, George Clooney and Vice President Al Gore.
