Meanwhile, our campaign with SYBO’s smash hit game Subway Surfers and J Balvin was named as Best Sustainability Initiative at the Cynopsis Gaming Tempest Awards’ 2024.
The incredible influence of J Balvin, a global superstar known for his creativity and commitment to social causes, was recognised by judges for its ability to inspire even more people to join our sustainability efforts.
J Balvin fans and gamers taking part in the campaign by downloading special in-game items offset over 2,000 tons of carbon emissions (the equivalent of a concert with nearly 100,000 guests) in just three weeks!
A huge thank you to the amazing team at SYBO for supporting our green initiatives and so brilliantly amplifying our mission to drive positive environmental change.
