The Pan Africa Gaming Group (PAGG) is a collection of the top 11 game development studios across Africa. The continent is poised to become a top 3 gaming market globally with more than 1 Billion youth and more Internet-connected smartphones than all of the USA, Canada, and Mexico combined.

As an organization, we have committed to running PAGG with a Net Zero carbon footprint. We have also committed to using our pulpit as game developers to create games with positive messaging to spur climate action by the Billion youth in Africa.
OPERATIONS
Our Kenya operation (one of our largest studios, and operational headquarters for PAGG) is already 100% carbon neutral with our main offices running on a 300kW solar array, our main data center running on renewable energy, and any non-renewable draws being offset through projects. Kenya as a country already runs on 93% renewable energy feeding the grid, so any time we are not on Solar, we're still on wind/geothermal. We see Kenya as the pilot example and hope to replicate this across each of our studios.
