Taking care of our fellow
human beings and our planet
Businesses have the power to drive positive change and foster a sustainable future by embracing Corporate Social Responsibility (CSR). Doing so is not just an ethical obligation, but also a sound investment.
CSR encompasses various facets, from environmental sustainability initiatives to social equity programs and transparent governance practices. Below, you will find a non-exhaustive overview of our efforts to help shape a better today and tomorrow.

In 2024, our Forge of Empires community helped plant 217,493 trees in the Dots.eco event. Starting 2025, we offer all employees a free “Deutschlandticket” for public transport.
We've been reducing our carbon footprint since April 2020 by calculating and offsetting emissions. Visit our ClimateID tracking page for more.
Efforts to reduce waste and emissions include switching to LED lighting, installing water dispensers, using renewable energy, expanding vegetarian food options, upgrading to energy-efficient servers, and installing presence-controlled heating thermostats. A 77 kwp solar system now provides over 66% of our energy needs on workdays.
