Sustainability

Environmental sustainability is a crucial issue for players, for Riot, and for the entire world. While sustainability has always been something we’ve strived for, it’s high time we made our commitments abundantly clear. By putting in the work ourselves, working with impactful partners, and sharing best practices with the rest of the gaming industry, we can, and must, push forward towards a healthier world. 

We want players to be able to enjoy our games for generations to come. To make that future a reality, we have to follow the science to stay up to date on the best practices for sustainability while staying committed to reducing our overall environmental impact. 

We’ve done the research to understand our greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions and we’re ready to introduce our commitments as a company:

Since we first released our company-wide sustainability commitments and have started reporting on our Greenhouse Gas (GHG) emissions data we’ve remained committed to transparency by providing updates on how we’re progressing towards our commitments and sharing our yearly GHG Emissions Footprint.

While our commitments drive our company’s decisions in all facets, we are proud to continue our tradition of bespoke sustainability initiatives that make an impact on the world around us. In the past, we’ve worked with players using in-game fundraisers to direct millions of dollars to sustainability organizations. In our offices, we’ve employed a variety of sustainability practices to reduce food waste, water usage, and energy consumption.

In esports, we’ve used Worlds to bring sustainability in-game and work with long-time partners to make an exponential impact. In addition, our remote broadcast center in Dublin, which opened in 2022 and broadcasts Worlds to millions of players worldwide, is already running on 100% renewable energy.

As we look toward the future, we recognize that there is always more work to be done. Our commitments and initiatives are just part of this mission that the world will have to accomplish together. We’re excited to keep improving the ways we can make an impact as we work towards our commitments as a company.
