Diversity, Inclusion and Accessibility

Celebrating diversity and putting belonging at the heart of what we do

Our Vision

To create a video game, our global teams work together to push the boundaries of what’s been done before, and build an unforgettable experience for players. The journey from concept to launch requires collaboration, passion, and commitment, learning as we go, failing, and trying again before we get it right!

That same creativity, dedication, and growth mindset form the foundation of our approach to diversity, inclusion, accessibility, and social impact (DIASI). To truly have an impact, we must leverage innovative ideas and diverse perspectives to continue building a company — and an industry — that’s welcoming to all.

We’ve designed a multidimensional strategy centered on three pillars — Product, People & Culture, Social Impact.

For Ubisoft, putting DIASI at the heart of everything we do is a long-term commitment, one that we will tackle with the same passion and dedication that we bring to our games.
