Hamburg, May 30, 2022 – gamigo is proud to announce that it became a member of the Playing for the Planet Alliance, a collective effort by the video games industry to reduce its carbon footprint and integrate environmental activations into their games.

The Playing for the Planet Alliance is a group of gaming companies who have made voluntary, ambitious, specific, and time-based commitments for people and planet, facilitated by the UN Environment Programme (UNEP). Being part of the Alliance also means that the companies will collaborate to address the climate emergency together, to achieve more than any individual company could on their own.

“As a company, we must acknowledge our responsibility for sustainability and integrate it into our actions. We are therefore very proud to be accepted as a member of the Playing for the Planet Alliance,” comments Jens Knauber, CEO at gamigo group. “gamigo and its parent company MGI have already had success working on sustainability projects in the past, and as a member we can now share and exchange best practices with and learn from other game studios in the Playing of the Planet Alliance.”

gamigo group has agreed to undertake the following initiatives within the next twelve months:

Since the launch of the Playing for the Planet Alliance, the initiative has supported its members efforts to reduce their carbon footprint, with over half committing to reach net-zero carbon emissions or carbon negativity by 2030.The Alliance has also inspired its members to integrate authentic environmental activations in games with existing player bases through three Green Game Jams.

Gamigo will participate in the Green Game Jam 2022, which is the biggest Green Game Jam yet with 50 participating studios.
