Sustainability Achievements

– Appointment of Head of Diversity, Equity, and Inclusion (DEI):

We continued to strengthen the sustainability focus by hiring a Head of DEI in September 2022. While many companies have DEI within the HR function, we made the decision to have it under sustainability because it impacts all functions of our organization, including our games. We are now taking strides towards 1) creating a diverse workforce, 2) fostering an inclusive & equitable workplace, and 3) designing inclusive games and marketing.

– Enhanced focus on diverse and inclusive game design and marketing:

Through our core products, games, we have the opportunity and responsibility to think about what kind of world we build and share with our players. In September 2022, we appointed two employees to facilitate cross-functional inclusive game design & marketing initiatives. This includes moderating an internal discussion channel, sharing best practices across the company, as well as managing related projects and initiatives.

– Becoming carbon neutral:

During 2022, we reached an important milestone of carbon neutrality within our value chain emissions (Scope 1, 2 and 3). We also published our next step beyond carbon neutral: in late 2022, we sent our commitment letter to the Science Based Targets initiative – the leading framework for setting emission reduction targets. Committing to Science Based Targets helps us to identify potential emission reductions and to set emission reduction targets that are in line with climate science.

– Collaboration with UNICEF Finland continued:

Starting from January 2022, our efforts with UNICEF Finland have focused on Sierra Leone, where we are supporting UNICEF’s country-wide education program through a contribution to the national education funding pool. In addition to our support for Sierra Leone, we have also contributed to UNICEF’s emergency support in Ukraine with our staff for the UNICEF employee donation program in March 2022.
