Room 8 Group Sustainability Report 2023

Summary

The 2023 sustainability analysis presents Room 8 Group’s comprehensive ESG strategy, positioning environmental stewardship, social responsibility, and robust governance as core drivers of its competitive advantage in the global gaming services sector. By integrating sustainability into corporate planning, the firm seeks to demonstrate that long‑term value creation can coexist with measurable reductions in ecological impact and heightened stakeholder trust. During the reporting year, the organization expanded its workforce to more than 1,260 specialists and delivered 1,300 projects for roughly 700 clients, achieving a 12.7 % increase in customer‑satisfaction scores and earning 89 award nominations across more than 300 distinct titles. The environmental program centers on cutting greenhouse‑gas emissions, improving energy efficiency, and scaling renewable‑energy and recycling initiatives, with the Green Office policy applied across sites in Poland, Romania and Brazil. This policy has introduced green computing, renewable‑energy‑sourced data centres, remote‑work options, low‑carbon transport and mandatory waste‑sorting, while internal audits and training ensure compliance; the combined Scope 1 and 2 emissions are classified as non‑significant. Social initiatives emphasize diversity, equity and inclusion, health and safety, charitable engagement and transparent governance. A dedicated data‑protection framework—featuring a Data Protection Officer, compulsory privacy and cybersecurity training, and regular DPIAs—aligns the company with GDPR and global privacy standards. Looking ahead to 2024, the firm pledges to broaden workforce diversity, strengthen mental‑health and burnout support, further reduce e‑waste, and refine CSR performance through KPI tracking, external benchmarking and periodic policy reviews. These actions collectively illustrate a holistic approach to sustainability that spans operational, social and governance dimensions across multiple geographic regions within the gaming industry.

The organization expanded its workforce to 1,300 professionals across diverse geographic regions, including Brazil and Romania, while simultaneously improving customer satisfaction ratings to 8.7 out of 10. This growth was accompanied by a strategic focus on leadership seniority and the implementation of a "Green Office" policy designed to mitigate the environmental footprint of its physical and digital infrastructure. Environmental performance remains a low-impact area for the group, with total Scope 1 and 2 emissions estimated at under 1,000 tCO2. These results are supported by a shift toward green-energy data centers and high renewable energy usage in specific regional hubs, such as Brazil’s 100% renewable energy mix. Social responsibility initiatives are anchored by a significant commitment to Ukraine, totaling over $8 million in donations. These efforts provided critical humanitarian aid, including water purification for 15,000 people and technology hardware to support remote education for displaced students. Internal governance and workforce development saw measurable progress through a 50/50 gender split at the board level and a 34% female representation across the total workforce. The establishment of a compliance hotline and an updated Code of Ethics resulted in zero reported discrimination incidents during the period. Moving into 2024, the strategic focus shifts toward formalizing a comprehensive Corporate Social Responsibility strategy that prioritizes mental health, enhanced e-waste management, and rigorous data protection through mandatory cybersecurity training for all employees.

Corporate Responsibility Report 2018

The 2018 corporate‑responsibility overview for Modern Times Group (MTG) reflects a year of strategic realignment following the spin‑off of its Nordic Entertainment and Studios businesses into the newly listed Nordic Entertainment Group. The core thesis is that MTG’s renewed focus on esports, gaming and broader digital ventures can be pursued responsibly through four pillars—media responsibility, social impact, business ethics and environmental care—underpinned by materiality analyses for both entities and a suite of stakeholder‑driven priorities such as gender diversity, inclusion, GDPR compliance and the protection of minors. Financially, MTG reported net sales in the range of 15‑20 billion SEK and achieved an 89 % completion rate for mandatory ethics e‑learning. Risk management was strengthened by publishing event‑security guidance adopted by eight of twenty‑one partners, and by prioritising attendee safety at esports tournaments. Social contributions included a $18 k donation to UCSF, multi‑million‑dollar fundraising for Save the Children and the Diabetes Foundation, and the launch of education programmes targeting young gamers. Governance was reinforced through board oversight, external audits and memberships in more than a dozen industry bodies—including the IGDA, Esports Integrity Coalition and MESA—facilitating continuous stakeholder engagement via surveys, focus groups and board‑level dialogues. Environmental reporting showed a total carbon footprint of 25,215 t CO₂e, a 7 % year‑on‑year increase, while energy intensity fell sharply from 66 GJ per employee in 2016 to 40 GJ in 2018. Scope 3 emissions from events are now being captured, and no fines were recorded for direct energy use,
