Building a more sustainable future
As global citizens who share the planet, we’re responsible for taking action to address climate change, and we’re dedicated to reducing our environmental impact today and into the future.
Wildeverse - Internet of Elephants
“Creators are using Unity to solve difficult problems, from visualizing climate change impacts to making fashion more sustainable. Our vision is for Unity to be the platform to create, cultivate, and communicate a more sustainable world.”
Our 2022 impact in numbers
We’re proud to continue our carbon neutral status. Our journey has just begun.
75,720
Our greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions across Scopes 1–3 were fully offset via verified offsets, removals, and energy attribute certificates.
$950,000
We supported creators and nonprofit organizations that are increasing awareness and spurring action on climate change.
1,800,000
As a UN Playing for the Planet Alliance member, we co-facilitated the 2021 Green Game Jam, which shared sustainability-focused content with millions around the world through popular games.
As a responsible business, Unity leads and empowers our ecosystem to create a more sustainable world.
Measuring our impact
Since 2021, we have reported our GHG emissions inventory, which encompasses our full Scope 1–3 emissions, including:
- Direct emissions
- Indirect emissions from purchased electricity
- Indirect emissions from purchased goods and services, capital goods, employee commuting, business travel, operational waste, and others
We have remained carbon neutral since 2021 through energy attribute certificates (EACs), clean power procurement via utility providers, carbon offsets, and removal projects.
Managing our impact
We are shrinking our footprint by:
- Lowering our office emissions by procuring clean energy and energy attribute certificates (EACs), and reducing waste through recycling and an IT equipment donation program.
- Sourcing energy-efficient IT equipment and recycling used equipment responsibly.
- Engaging our employees with sustainability initiatives, educational sessions, and volunteering opportunities.
- Making ESG-screened fund options for retirement investments available.
- Screening vendors for sustainability criteria and engaging our supply chain for strong sustainability commitments.
Partnering for climate action
With our global creator community, we have the opportunity to catalyze environmental impact beyond our own operations by leveraging partnerships, supporting environmentally focused creators, encouraging RT3D innovation, and inspiring our community to take individual and collective action. Through our partnership with the Business Council on Climate Change (BC3), we are developing tools and resources to support our suppliers in their own sustainability journeys.
Environmental grants and partnerships
We aspire to catalyze environmental impact beyond our own operations through partnerships and RT3D innovation.
MIT - Worlding
A first-of-its-kind research and development initiative that explores climate futures at the intersection of documentary, land-use planning, speculative modeling, and RT3D.
Project Drawdown
We partnered with Drawdown to create a framework that highlights the systemic, high-impact potential of the gaming industry's influence for climate action.
Drop in the Ocean
We supported the rebuilding of Drop in the Ocean for wider global reach and distribution at cultural institutions and high-profile international climate events.
By bringing storytelling and creative technology together, we create immersive and interactive project experiences that better communicate the vision of our major infrastructure and built environment projects.
Spotlighting creators

Zutari
Climate change is already causing huge destruction in Africa, which is why Zutari is using Unity to design, implement, and optimize innovative and renewable energy solutions.
Sitowise
With Unity’s capabilities for real-time simulation and digital twins, Sitowise is innovating the most sustainable infrastructure and living environments possible.
Monument Valley II
As a part of the 2021 Green Game Jam, creators added a “Lost Forest” chapter designed to remind players of the importance of trees and forests in the fight against climate change.
Circular Fashion Summit (CFS)
CFS aims to accelerate the transition towards digitized fashion and create measurable, scalable impact through the world’s largest virtual fashion event.
Internet of Elephants
On a mission to change how the world engages with wildlife and conservation, Internet of Elephants employs Unity to connect people with wild animals through everyday technology.
