Room 8 Group Sustainability Report 2023

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.

Report

Sustainability Report 2023

Room 8 Group transitioned toward a formal Environmental, Social, and Governance (ESG) framework in 2023, achieving Global Reporting Initiative (GRI) compliance while scaling its global operations. 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.
