Sustainability Achievements
In November, we launched the Playbook for Inclusive Game Development and Marketing to address various development areas, such as inclusive player research, character design, and game accessibility, supporting our teams in creating games that embody our inclusivity values. The guide is a free resource, enhancing its availability and encouraging continuous dialogue and growth across the gaming community and beyond.
We joined Better Games Together (BGT), a collective of Finnish game studios that share the goal of making our companies, as well as the wider industry, more accepting of LGBTQIA+ people. As a member of BGT, we took joint action by hosting networking events open to all our employees and serving as a main partner of Helsinki Pride.
RovioCon Google 2023 was a fantastic forum for exploring essential topics together.

We heard talks about the business case for inclusive product and game design, how to lead people through uncertainty, and took a deep dive into designing inclusive game content.
We participated in Playing for the Planet’s Green Game Jam for the fourth year in a row, with a record number of our games joining.
