SUSTAINABILITY

Environ­ment and climate

The game industry has a relatively low impact on the environment and climate, since most operations are carried out digitally, and games are distributed primarily through digital channels. Our greatest environmental and climate impact comes from the energy consumption of server rooms and business travel by air.

Server operation and digital distribution

Most of our products are sold via downloads. We seek to promote sales through digital channels over retail sales in stores, as digital management reduces impact on the climate. Running servers and hardware has an environmental and climate impact, and the company actively seeks more climate-friendly server rooms and other solutions in order to minimize the company’s negative environmental and climate footprint.

Business travel

We aim wherever possible to replace physical travel and gatherings with digital alternatives, such as digital conferences and meetings. In 2022, we produced a business travel policy to ensure that our employees use the most sustainable travel solution available. The policy states that priority must be given to transport with the least possible climate impact. The challenge for us lies mainly in flights to the USA, where most global trade fairs and game development conferences take place.

Facilities

Starbreeze rents all its premises, which means limited opportunities for influence and control over things such as the proportion of renewable electricity, waste management and recycling options. We engage in active dialog with our landlords to ensure that our premises are as environmentally and climate-friendly as possible, and have associated services.
