Like Willump’s snowball rolling through the Freljord, Riot Games is growing...quickly.
Since 2019, Riot has more than doubled in total size going from 2,000 employees to over 4,000. During that time, we went from one game to five, we expanded to TV with our Emmy award winning series Arcane, and we launched more esports circuits to bring the highest level of competition to fans around the world.

Experience
Everything at Riot ultimately ladders up to our games and the people around the world that play them every day.
In 2022, players empowered charity drives that contributed millions of dollars to important causes. We utilized a global mindset to make sure our characters are diverse, representative, and unique for cultures around the world and became closer to where players play by investing in new infrastructure and better localization.

Scope 2: Purchased Energy
