Lotería de Medellín receives new sustainability certification from Fenalco Solidario

The Lotería de Medellín said Fenalco Solidario Colombia certified it again in business sustainability, carbon footprint measurement and verification, and carbon bonds. The lottery said the certification supports its work on responsible management.

The lottery reported 78 tonnes of CO2 offset, 77 MWh of renewable energy backed and more than 84 tonnes of recyclable material used as part of its sustainability results.

Néstor Fernando Zuluaga Giraldo, manager of the Lotería de Medellín, said the results reflect a commitment to sustainability that combines climate action, the circular economy and solidarity. He said the lottery will continue to promote initiatives to improve its practices, use resources responsibly and contribute to a more sustainable future for Antioquia.

Earlier in the year, the Lotería de Medellín became the first in the country to obtain certification under the NTC 6767 of 2024 quality standard, which assesses security, quality and transparency processes in territorial games draws, according to the report.

In May, the Lotería de Medellín marked 95 years of operation, citing record sales, transfers to health and expansion of its digital channels during 2025. The entity, originally created as the Lotería de Beneficencia y Asistencia Pública, said it reached sales of COP177.013m (US$48.5m) in its traditional lottery product, which it said gave it the highest sales volume in Colombia during the year.
