Virtuos

As gaming becomes more mainstream, there has been a growing movement among developers who are using games as a medium to highlight environmental and social issues. However, game production itself is inherently energy-intensive, from the mining of materials for hardware to the electricity required to power software. To combat this, several gaming companies including Virtuos have made concrete efforts to grow their businesses sustainably. As a service provider, our key environment impact at Virtuos is tied to our electricity consumption across offices worldwide. As such, we've committed ourselves to achieving 100% renewable energy source by 2025, on top of an annual carbon neutrality target.
