25 years of impact: Introducing Ubisoft’s very first Canadian Impact Report

A quarter-century ago, Ubisoft opened the doors of our very first studio in Canada and firmly planted roots in the vibrant Mile-End community. From the very beginning of this journey, and with the opening of every new studio in Canada, we have made it a priority to positively contribute to each of our unique communities.  

Today, with the launch of our very first Canadian Impact report, we proudly share the inspiring stories of how our Canadian studios contribute to a more sustainable and inclusive society for our colleagues, players, partners, communities and our planet. Through this report, we reflect on our accomplishments in 2022-2023, recognize the incredible progress we have made, and humbly acknowledge that there is still more to be done.
