Environmental Sustainability

We strive to do our part to mitigate climate change and conserve natural resources. Across our global footprint, we are working to use energy and water more efficiently, leverage renewable resources and mitigate what we cannot eliminate.

 

Managing our Environmental Impact

Our sustainability efforts focus on:

Managing our climate change impact and setting emissions targets

Measuring and reporting our progress

Measuring and Managing our Carbon Emissions

We will continue to do our part to mitigate climate change by managing carbon emissions across our operations. In 2023, we established this ambition with two goals:

  • EA will be carbon neutral for operations by 2027
  • EA is committed to becoming a net zero enterprise in alignment with the Paris Agreement

We’re progressing towards our goals. In FY24, we are pleased to share our progress toward our goal to be 100% carbon neutral by 2027 and progress on our net zero commitment:

  • Achieved 100% carbon neutrality for North American and European operations Place.1
  • 7% decrease in total emissions over FY23 baseline.2

 

Managing Energy, Water and Waste

We seek cost-effective opportunities to optimize energy use across our operations, including our offices and data centers. We also include environmental performance in the selection criteria for new offices and data centers, including an emphasis on buildings that maintain green building certifications, such as LEED and BREEAM. Fifteen of our offices are LEED-certified or other green building certified workspaces. Other initiatives include:

  • Our new offices in Hyderabad, India, Kirkland, Washington, and Madrid Spain were designed to include green spaces to improve indoor air quality and create a welcoming environment for employees.
  • Using LED lighting, automated room sensors, and efficient air conditioners to reduce energy use.
  • Working with cloud partners committed to powering their data centers with renewable energy.
  • Conserving water use through xeriscaping, use of recycled water for watering, and turf installations.  
  • Reducing waste through recycling, composting, and purchasing eco-friendly supplies, including rain gardens.  
  • Implementing responsible end-of-life processes for our hardware.

 

Global Green Team

Our Global Green Team fosters belonging and community around a common interest in sustainability, and has grown to over 1,000 members. This team drives a broad range of internal and community-based environmental actions targeted at driving a sustainable future for employees, players and the communities in which they play and live.

  • EA Vancouver’s Frostbite team led several invasive plant removal events throughout Discovery Place Conservation Area, helping restore and maintain the natural ecosystem.
  • In 2023, the Green Team contributed more than 2,500 hours in communities cleaning beaches, restoring habitats, protecting biodiverse areas, hosting sustainability events, conducting e-waste drives, and more.
