Carbon Footprint — Operations: How does Ubisoft Entertainment score?

DitchCarbon (sourced from Ubisoft's own Play Green disclosure) reports FY2023 Scope 1 at 2,852 tCO2e and Scope 2 (market-based) at 7,314 tCO2e — a total operational footprint of ~10,166 tCO2e. Ubisoft states its GHG reporting follows the GHG Protocol market-based method and is certified by an external auditor and declared to ADEME and CDP (Ubisoft environment page). Multi-year data is tracked, with FY2022 figures also published (~5,000 tCO2e Scope 1+2 market-based). Third-party limited assurance

Carbon Footprint — Supply Chain: How does Ubisoft Entertainment score?

FY2023 Scope 3 (upstream, as reported) was 136,069 tCO2e, representing ~93% of the total footprint. The largest category is purchased goods and services (primarily subcontracting and marketing). Ubisoft's 2022 Play Green update notes that purchased services/subcontracting is 'the largest share of Ubisoft's emissions by far.' A Green Procurement Policy exists with environmental performance criteria for new suppliers, and annual supplier engagement discussions are underway. However, the Scope 3 bo

Emissions Trajectory: How does Ubisoft Entertainment score?

Total reported emissions (Scopes 1, 2, 3 upstream) moved from ~158 ktCO2e (FY2020) to ~148 ktCO2e (FY2021) to ~147.8 ktCO2e (FY2022) to ~145.5 ktCO2e (FY2023) — a very modest nominal decline. However, the 2022 Play Green update explicitly states the 2021 reduction was 'mostly due to the COVID-19 pandemic' and 'cannot be considered permanent.' The FY2024-25 AGM brochure states 'emissions have risen sharply, in particular as a result of geopolitical conflicts that have altered the paths taken by o

Energy Source: How does Ubisoft Entertainment score?

The Play Green 2023 article (covering FY2022 data) reports that 78% of office electricity came from renewable sources (up from 67% in FY2021), and 95% of data centre electricity came from renewable sources. Ubisoft's website states its goal to power work environments with '100% renewable electricity.' The market-based Scope 2 figure of 7,314 tCO2e is very low relative to the company's size (~17,000 employees), consistent with high renewable purchasing. No RE100 membership was found. The renewabl

Nature & Biodiversity Impact: How does Ubisoft Entertainment score?

Ubisoft's nature impact is principally indirect — as a digital software company with office-based operations, it has no direct land use, deforestation, or habitat destruction exposure. Ubisoft has awareness of biodiversity as a topic, deploying in-game environmental activations and funding a Biodiversity Reserve in Peru as part of its climate contribution portfolio. The 2022 Play Green update confirms Ubisoft uses ISO 14040/44-compliant life-cycle analysis. There is no TNFD-aligned disclosure fo

Resource Use & Waste: How does Ubisoft Entertainment score?

Ubisoft has active waste-reduction measures in its Play Green programme: Green IT Policy (extending hardware lifecycle, second-life for equipment), elimination of single-use plastics as a stated goal, 15+ green committees in studios globally focused on waste sorting and reduction, and increasing digitisation of game distribution (85.9% digital net bookings by FY2025). The 2022 update notes IT hardware lifecycle extension and recycling visibility improvements. However, no public quantified waste

Water Impact: How does Ubisoft Entertainment score?

No specific water consumption data, water targets, or water stewardship disclosure was found in any publicly available Ubisoft source searched. As a predominantly office-based digital software company with no manufacturing or water-intensive processes, Ubisoft's absolute water footprint is inherently very low. There is no evidence of water pollution incidents or discharge non-compliance. The score of 4 reflects: genuinely negligible water impact from the nature of the business, but no water bill

Targets & Commitments: How does Ubisoft Entertainment score?

In June 2022, SBTi validated Ubisoft's near-term targets: absolute Scope 1 and 2 GHG reduction of 42% by 2030 from a 2020 base year, and 67% of suppliers by spend to have SBTs by 2026 (Play Green 2023 article). These are reduction-first targets aligned with 1.5°C. The Scope 1+2 target is absolute, which is positive. However, there is no SBTi net-zero (long-term) validated target. The overall footprint target (per employee) is intensity-based, not absolute. Ubisoft also funds external climate con

Transparency & Accountability: How does Ubisoft Entertainment score?

Ubisoft has a dedicated Director of Corporate Environmental Sustainability (Nicolas Hunsinger), a CSR Committee at Board level, and a dedicated sustainability strategy (Play Green). GHG reporting is certified by an external auditor and declared to ADEME and CDP. CSR performance indicators are linked to executive compensation (the CSR Indicator represents 20% of long-term variable compensation, tied to SBTi trajectory). Annual CSR disclosures are embedded in the Universal Registration Document (f

Controversies & Red Flags: How does Ubisoft Entertainment score?

No environmental regulatory fines, greenwashing rulings (ASA, FTC, or equivalent), credible NGO climate criticism, or documented environmental damage were found in any search. The controversies found are unrelated to environment: workplace harassment/toxic culture allegations (2020), NFT backlash (2021), game quality issues. Ubisoft has no InfluenceMap profile found indicating active climate lobbying. Ubisoft is a member of the Playing for the Planet Alliance (UN-facilitated), which is a positiv

Making progressPending Review

Ubisoft has solid operational GHG reporting and a validated SBTi near-term target, but total emissions are rising due to supply chain bloat. Scope 3 excludes the largest lifecycle category (player devices, 90% of footprint). Nature and water are absent from disclosure. Transparency is decent but lacks net-zero commitment.
