Dear King Community,

Today we'd like to talk to you about the first ever Environmental, Social and Governance report (otherwise known as the ESG report) recently presented by Activision Blizzard King (ABK).

This document publicly showcases our commitment to making our company one that champions our people, advances more diverse and inclusive communities, and protects our planet.

Here are some of the report's highlights:

🌟 Diversity

We have developed some of the most diverse characters from any video game publisher in the world; from Overwatch’s fan favorite Symmetra, the first playable character who is on the autism spectrum and WoW’s Pelagos, the game’s first openly transgender character to Tracer from Overwatch, the first LGBTQ character featured on a game cover and Tony Hawk’s Pro Skater 1+2’s Leo Baker, the first non-binary playable character in a sports game.


🌟 Environmental

We have eliminated 5.5 million pounds of plastic waste over the last five years, through changes to packaging and materials. And we announced, we are committed to reaching net zero greenhouse gas emissions by 2050 and to reducing packaging waste by another 50% over the next five years!

🌟 Employee Support

Our greatest asset is our talent. And for new and hopeful parents, we now provide infertility treatment support, lactation consulting services, and other tools. We also ensure all new parents can expect 12 weeks of leave at full pay, while birth mothers can generally take at least 20 weeks.


🌟 ESG Steering Committee

The ESG report also announces the creation of a ESG Steering Committee chaired by a cross-functional, enterprise-wide working group to identify ESG matters most relevant to our business and help us embed this work further into our organization.
