Playing for the Planet's mission is to support the games industry to reduce its carbon footprint by providing guidance and tools to understand, measure, and reduce carbon emissions.
In October 2023, the Playing for the Planet Alliance released a groundbreaking report, created with the input of 11 members, to clarify how the GHG Protocol accounting and reporting standards apply to the video games sector. This report consolidates the industry’s experiences and offers a comprehensive guide for gaming companies to navigate GHG accounting. Read it here.
Building on this work, the Alliance developed the Playing for the Planet Carbon Calculator—a validated, user-friendly tool designed specifically for game studios, publishers, and industry organizations. This tool enables accurate carbon footprint measurement, helping companies focus on reducing the most impactful emissions. Learn more.
