GDEV's Sustainability Strategy outlines Three Pathways that reflect our impact on employees, local communities, and the global community across Four Focus Areas aligned with our interactions with the world.

Our Games for Good Philosophy focuses on creating games that entertain, educate, and inspire positive change in individuals and society. For us, gaming should nurture players' growth, fostering skills and connections that extend beyond the screen.

The Charity and Initiative Support Approach is adopted to align our efforts more closely with strategy and vision. This approach emphasizes the creation of opportunities for in-game integration of initiatives, with a focus on environmental and social impact, addressingissues within both local and global communities.

Finally, GDEV's sustainability strategy is guided by the UN SDGs and benchmarked against the SASB Software & IT Services Standard.
