A new chapter by Olivier Comte Président & CEO

"The 52 Group’s along with are central to our vision and values. Both are deeply rooted in our DNA and shape the way we do business.

In the ever-changing landscape of the technology industry, and as a gaming company, we recognize the profound impact our actions can have on the world around us. It’s not just about what we create, the games we develop; it’s about we have as a company and as individuals.

Our commitment to CSR stems from the conviction that our purpose goes beyond profit. As a gaming company, we have the power to innovate, inspire and contribute to This is not just a moral imperative; it’s a strategic decision that aligns our growth with the betterment of society.

A key aspect of our CSR strategy is environmental management. Our industry, while fostering innovation, can also leave a significant carbon footprint. We are taking steps to minimize our impact by ensuring that our growth does not come at the expense of the planet, with these two guidelines:

Ethical technology practices: as a technology company, we are acutely aware of the ethical considerations that accompany innovation. We’re committed to developing and deploying technologies that not only advance our business objectives, but also meet the highest standards. Our commitment to responsible AI, data privacy and cybersecurity reflects our dedication to these principles.

Employee well-being: Our employees are at the heart of our business, and their wellbeing is paramount. We invest to ensure that our team flourishes both professionally and personally. We’re committed to fostering a diverse, inclusive and welcoming workplace By embracing different perspectives and backgrounds, we enhance our creativity, innovation and, ultimately, our competitiveness."

Chief Impact officer positive

When it came to drawing up a roadmap for the 52 Entertainment Group’s CSR strategy, the aim was to create a powerful means of having a positive impact on society, fostering community involvement, and contributing to sustainable development.

community involvement

sustainable development

But when we talk about responsibility, sustainability and commitment, the risk of Greenwashing is never far away. Can we really transform our business models? And how can we reconcile the 3 Ps: People, Planet and Profit, within an international tech group worth nearly 100 million?

I’m very proud, with this first impact report, to share with you our commitment to a more responsible approach, both in the development of our games and the fulfillment of our employees and community. We aim and have a deep desire to be even better every day on issues impacting society.

As you will see, the game development process can have an impact on the environment. As a responsible company, we are gradually adopting design practices to minimize our carbon footprint. This includes the use of sustainable materials , waste reduction and the gradual adoption of energy-e cient technologies.

sustainable materials energy-efficient technologies

We see our role as an opportunity to educate and raise awareness among our employees and community. We are starting to create awareness-raising programs, collaborating with charitable organizations, and dedicating resources and time to support important social causes. We’re encouraging our employees to take ever greater action in this direction.

well-being

One of our CSR priorities is a commitment to the well-being of our employees and our gaming community. We understand the impact our games can have on the daily lives of our players, and we are committed to creating positive, enriching, and respectful experiences.

We are committed to open communication about our initiatives, progress, and challenges. We regard feedback as essential for adjusting and continuously improving our practices.

CSR is not just an initiative, it’s the way we do business every day.

We are proud of our commitment to our players, our staff and society as a whole.

The that marked big milestones: big dates

Better Program

What’s that you might ask? It’s formed of

6 values

6 values that guide our day-to-day behavior; how we work and grow within our field of business and industry, how we connect with our community and how we develop our people.

It’s quite simply, «BEING BETTER».

In our products. In our services. In our behavior. As individuals, and as a company.

A key characteristic of the program is that it gives us the opportunity to develop a business model that resonates with all stakeholders and gives equal importance to strategic decisionmaking and the distribution of value.

Diagnose and take action: our carbon footprint

What does it involve?

Today, companies are encouraged to set for their greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions in line with scientific recommendations, in accordance with the recommendations of the Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change (IPCC) and the Paris Climate Agreement.

52 has taken up the challenge to reduce its carbon footprint and intends to continue to reinforce its action. The first step of this environmental strategy was therefore to carry out an of the 52 Group's for 2021.

And how does it work?

52 Entertainment’s carbon footprint takes into account direct and indirect energy emissions (scope 1, 2 and 3).

Scope 1

relates to greenhouse gas emissions produced directly by the company, from heating offices or running a fleet of company-owned vehicles for example.

Scope 2

concerns indirect energy-related emissions. This is mainly related to emissions linked to the energy production, such as electricity which is consumed by the company, but not emitted in the workplace, rather in the place where it is produced (e.g. combustion in a gas-fired power plant).

Scope 3

represents all other emissions generated as a result of the company’s activity by sources that aren’t owned or controlled by the company, either upstream or downstream of the value chain.

The Sami platform enables us to measure our greenhouse gas emissions and reduce our carbon footprint. Sami has been with us every step of the way!

3 important take aways from our 202 review 2022 3

2,2 teq C02

The emissions per employee fell from 2.9 tCO2e to 2.2 tCO2e, representing a significant carbon footprint reduction per employee. Well done everyone!

Objectives :

Create and develop a low-carbon o er by reducing the overall impact of our activity.

Be a carbon-neutral company.

Environmental sustainability

0,9%

Of all flights in 2022, only 0.9% were less than 1,000 km, thanks to the ban on domestic flights lasting more than 4 hours.

Almost 1/4 of the carbon footprint results from computers and mobile devices.

Taking all emissions into account, the Group has a total carbon footprint of 2,266 tons of CO2 equivalent in 2022.

The economic intensity of 52 Entertainment is 41 kgCO2e/k€.

In comparison, Sami’s and the Carbon Disclosure Project’s (CDP) customer base from our sector, "Software and Consulting", the kgCO2e/k€ economic intensity is 117.

It includes reimbursement for the daily commute from home to the o ce by bicycle and is authorized for employees via an expense claim linked to proof of their shortest route.

mobility

We also have a mobility bonus and an electric fleet.

€250

This scheme is designed to encourage employees to get to work by bike or electric bike. All employees receive €250 for the purchase of a bike or scooter. Isn’t that great?

Who’s taking the bike this year?

From January 1, 2023, domestic flights within France will be strongly discouraged in favor of rail travel, with the exception of train journeys lasting more than 4 hours, which may be authorized (subject to specific agreement).

The servers and services used on AWS are now switched o at night. This represents a saving of around 30%. 30%.

And what are the challenges for the coming years?

Improve the way in which our games are produced, developed and operated, without reducing performance and everyone’s day-to-day workload. Reducing the number of requests, and using green servers. A "Sustainable Game" taskforce has been in place since 2023 to make real progress towards more "sustainable" games.

Research & Development

Interview with Outlook for 52 Entertainment Daniel Ross

Director of IT and Tech

The two key topics are:

Minimizing the Digital Carbon Footprint:

The trend is towards energy optimization in data centers. All the major players in the field, such as Amazon Web Services (AWS) and Google Cloud Platform (GCP), which we use at 52 Entertainment, are committed to, and innovative in energy optimization. Using renewable energy sources, improving cooling, and optimizing server usage (such as turning o test and development servers at night) are increasingly common practices.

In 2024, this trend will intensify, with innovations in low-energy cooling and the use of AI to manage resources e ciently.

The cost of our infrastructure is directly linked to the volume of data we process and the e ciency of our applications.

Improving the performance of our games reduces our carbon footprint per user.

Digital sustainability:

In 2024, we continue to focus on the circular economy in the IT sector. Priority is given to purchasing reconditioned equipment and reusing devices to extend their lifespan. For example, we are using old machines to set up the network at our new premises in Boulogne-Billancourt.

Our road to digital sustainability

What are VR’s aspirations when it comes to preserving seas and oceans?

The sea is our playground, albeit for us a virtual one. Through our partnerships and initiatives, our main objective is to raise awareness of the importance of the preservation of the seas and oceans.

How do you ensure that environmental awareness is integrated into all of your projects?

All of our projects are connected to real races. We integrate environmental awareness by sharing with our players the marine conservation e orts taken by race organizers. The measures taken in the real world, are also represented in game as can be seen with the Cetacean Protection Zones that is now displayed in-game.

Are there any specific environmental considerations for the next edition of the Vendée Globe?

The Vendée Globe organization is about to make an announcement regarding its environmental commitment for the 2024 edition. For our part, in preparation for the event, we are exploring specific measures to reduce our environmental impact, including optimizing the platform’s technical hosting solutions and collaborating with partners committed to sustainability.

The WBF and Funbridge

A charity tournament that doesn’t go unnoticed...

Once again this year, Funbridge organized two special WBF tournaments to raise funds, and donated all the proceeds to the WBF, who then donated to a worthy cause. It’s always nice to see our passion for the game of bridge having a positive impact for an association we’re close to, the AFM Telethon.

Thanks to the active participation of players in our various tournaments, we were able to raise over for the Telethon.

My motto:

Ma devise : get to know how to achieve our CSR ambitions and to share this knowledge with everyone.

Certifications, training, emissions reduction, digital responsibility and QWL (quality of working life) improvement are all areas in which we are committed to working actively on and improving.

As a company in the entertainment sector, we have a central role to play with our digital footprint. This sector accounts for 4% of global emissions, and the figure could rise to around 14% by the year 2050, according to projections by the Shift Project.

At 52 Entertainment, quality of working life is at the heart of the company, enabling our colleagues to carry out their work in the best possible conditions.

QWL is not just an aspect of CSR for me, it’s an essential pillar and perfectly aligns with values particularly dear to my heart.
