The Game Culture Foundation has officially published the CSR White Paper 2024-2025, highlighting the social value of the gaming industry by summarizing the corporate social responsibility achievements and future directions of major gaming companies over the past two years.
The Game Culture Foundation (Chairman Yoo Byung-han) has released the CSR White Paper 2024-2025, compiling the social responsibilities fulfilled and key performance results achieved by the gaming industry. Major game companies belonging to the foundation's CSR Council—including NHN, Nexon, Netmarble, NC, NEOWIZ, and Pearl Abyss—jointly participated in publishing this white paper. Notably, it highlights the tangible scale of contributions and case studies by recording the gaming industry's CSR initiatives spanning a two-year period from 2024 to 2025.
This year's white paper was planned around key themes: Sharing & Mutual Growth, Inclusion & Partnership, and Communication & Empathy. Going beyond simple monetary donations, each company detailed the social values created by applying the interactive and creative nature unique to video games across various fields, including education, the environment, and social welfare. In addition, interviews with heads of CSR departments at each company were included to provide in-depth coverage of each firm's CSR goals, hands-on experience, and future challenges.
Yoo Byung-han, Chairman of the Game Culture Foundation, stated, "Through this white paper, we were able to confirm that the gaming industry's social responsibility is expanding into various domains and becoming more sophisticated". He added, "Going forward, as a hub for K-game culture that opens up the future, the Game Culture Foundation will continue to record the CSR activities of the gaming industry and strive to spread that positive value throughout society."
Meanwhile, the Game Culture Foundation, which has consistently highlighted the positive social value of the gaming industry since 2011, plans to distribute this white paper to executive and legislative government branches as well as related agencies. The general public can also view the document in PDF format by visiting the Game Culture Foundation's website.
