Making Progress
Updated November 2025
Boyd Gaming continues to focus on ways to reduce energy consumption throughout our organization. Through capital investments in more energy efficient equipment and rolling out new operational initiatives to reduce consumption we continue to make progress in decreasing energy usage.
The company continues to invest in energy efficient capital projects, such as LED lighting and upgrading building system and aging equipment. Operational initiatives, like monitoring based commissioning, ensures our property HVAC systems are operating at peak performance and efficiency.
These efforts have helped us achieve a 34% reduction in weather-normalized energy consumption in 2024 when compared to our 2017 baseline.

Weather-Normalized Energy Consumption
Weather Normalization is key in addressing variance due to extreme temperatures which could impact visibility of the decarbonization efforts led by a company. This process normalizes natural gas and electricity consumptions using an annual feed of normalized weather data for a site, which means that the weather is averaged over a recent 10-year period using the actual weather (sourced from NOAA) from each location. Boyd engaged a new provider to calculate weather normalized data and restated figures in 2023. Weather normalized data from 2017 to 2022 was calculated by Boyd’s previous provider.
Annual Carbon Emissions
Carbon emissions are based on Scope 1 (natural gas) and Scope 2 (purchased electricity) only from 2017 to 2024. Boyd engaged a new provider to calculate annual carbon emissions and restated figures in 2023. Annual carbon emissions from 2017 to 2022 were calculated by Boyd’s previous provider.
Reducing Carbon Emissions
Boyd Gaming continues to focus on ways to achieve long term reductions in energy consumption and carbon emissions to improve our environment. We have tracked Scope 1 (natural gas) and Scope 2 (purchased electricity) since 2017 and have reduced our annual carbon emissions by nearly 40% over this time period.

Fugitive emissions were calculated based on the Simplified Material Balance Method as defined by the United States Environmental Protection Agency. (EPA) Fleet emissions for all vehicles and maintenance equipment were calculated using factors provided by the United States EPA.
Greenhouse Gas Emissions by Region
Emissions by Region include Scope 1 (natural gas, fugitive & fleet) and Scope 2 (purchased electricity) which are location based. Data excludes Scope 3 (waste) emissions.
