Our second Sustainability Sphere focused on the video games industry and considered how it can better drive positive social impact. Stakeholders asked how do we encourage people to play for the planet, rather than let the planet pay socially and environmentally?
Insights
In our first Sustainability Spheres event, industry experts discussed the future of ‘fast fashion’, a model which dominates the sector but has been criticised for being unsustainable. Attendees were asked how the industry can embed sustainable practices into their models.
