At The Game Bakers we care about our planet. Since 2022, we have taken measures to reduce the impact of our studio and games on the environment. Today we’re announcing that we are joining the Playing for the Planet alliance. Want to know more about what we are doing on this important topic?

• We can’t improve what we can’t measure, so we’re measuring our studio and games carbon footprint with Jyros. We set ourselves targets and review every year. With P4P Alliance we have now committed to reach net zero by 2030.

• We have taken measures to reduce our footprint as a studio, with work from home, travel reduction of travel, a green energy supplier for the office, recycling equipment, vegetarian meals…

• We are also offering a financial incentive for employees working from home ready to switch their homes to green energy. We would love to know if other studios are taking similar steps. Do you know of any?

• We’re optimizing our (digital) games to reduce their energy consumption, from their download size to how much energy they use. We’re learning more about how we can optimize. We’re also planning to update our previous games using what we learn with support from France 2030 program.

• For our next game Cairn – an ode to the awe inspiring nature in the mountains, we are preparing a collaboration to help alleviate some of our impact and generally do some good. More soon!

• Most of our games have underlying themes that will make players reflect on the importance of the environment, the worlds and nature around our protagonists: Squids, Haven, Furi, Cairn…

• We participate in actions to raise awareness about sustainability in games, like Midgar’s Zero Carbon Quest or the Earth Appreciation festival 2025. The Green Game jam from P4P is also one to watch.

• We also want to thank organisations who work for a more sustainable game industry and are helping all of us by providing tools and guidance: teams like Jyros, the Sustainable Game Alliance or UKIE (and their useful reports ) among others.
