Ubisoft's carbon pledge

• More than half of Ubisoft's emissions are tied to "purchases." A company rep told Axios that involves "a broad range of services related to our business activity, including subcontracting, marketing and advertising."

Why it matters: The creation of gaming hardware and software and the electricity used to make and play games all put a drain on the environment.

• A 2020 report by Wired called the next generation of gaming, with its focus on energy-intensive streaming, "an environmental nightmare."

By the numbers: Ubisoft reports its 2020 carbon footprint was "141.7 kilotons CO2-equivalent," as it targets its drop based on its 2019 levels.

• The company recently tied about $200,000 worth of its CEO's annual pay to achieving that reduction.
