Impact Report 2025
The FY 2025 impact analysis presents Electronic Arts’ comprehensive ESG strategy, arguing that responsible stewardship of people, planet, and data is integral to sustainable growth in the interactive‑entertainment sector. By quantifying progress across talent, climate, privacy and security, the report demonstrates how the company translates corporate responsibility into measurable outcomes while maintaining its global market position.
Across a workforce of more than 6,000 employees worldwide, 83 % now have access to internal AI tools, and 17 % of new hires are returning staff, contributing to an industry‑leading attrition rate of –0.1 %. Expanded benefits—including paid parental leave and bereavement support—paired with a balanced gender composition, underpin the talent‑focused results. Community engagement generated 18,000 volunteer hours and $5.9 million in investments, reinforcing the social dimension of the strategy. Environmental performance shows a clear downward trajectory: total operational emissions fell to 6.6 Mt CO₂e in FY25, down from 7.3 Mt in FY24 and 10.6 Mt in FY23, with Scope 1 emissions at 2.98 Mt and Scope 2 (market‑based) comprising the remainder, while energy consumption reached 380,859 GJ, fully sourced from office operations. The company’s carbon‑neutral status and renewable‑energy initiatives address identified climate risks such as acute physical events, volatile energy prices, rising carbon costs and emerging reporting regulations.
Data‑privacy and security are governed by a privacy‑by‑design framework overseen by the Audit Committee, delivering explicit player notice, consent and control, data‑minimisation, and partner‑risk contracts. The security management system aligns with ISO, NIST and CIS standards, undergoes annual independent validation, operates a 24‑hour SOC and mandates annual training for all staff. An articulated AI governance model completes the governance pillar, ensuring responsible deployment of emerging technologies. Collectively, these initiatives illustrate a holistic, globally scoped commitment to ESG excellence throughout FY 2025.
