Like other sectors, the gaming industry is working to reduce its sizable carbon
footprint, generated by energy use during gaming in addition to fossil fuels
used in hardware production. But consumers, including gamers, are making more
sustainable choices. According to a 2020 study from Globalwebindex on gaming
personas [
], many gamers are up to 50% more interested in environmental issues than the
global average.
Prioritizing sustainability as part of their business strategy, Razer has
committed to several sustainability actions and goals between now and 2025.
Plans include pursuing product health, sustainability and transparency programs
for their many branded hardware devices, including mice, keyboards and
headsets.
"At Razer, we are committed to a sustainable future and to making sure that the
world remains an arena that we can all continue to play in," said Razer CEO and
Co-founder Min-Liang Tan. "UL is the global safety science leader, so it was a
natural choice for us to collaborate with them on achieving our objectives for
greener, more sustainable gaming products. We also plan to earn third-party
certifications, like UL ECOLOGO, which is known and trusted by consumers
worldwide."
"As the gaming industry unites to take action in the fight against climate
change, we are proud to work alongside Razer to help pioneer meaningful
sustainability progress in gaming. We hope their achievements will set the pace
for the rest of the industry," said Doug Lockard, vice president and general
manager of UL's Retail and Consumer Products group.
