Our code of ethics
YRS TRULY was born out of a belief that gaming is for everyone — we want to do what we can to create a positive impact. We’re a certified B Corp™️, verified as an organisation committed to reaching the highest levels of social and environmental responsibility.
Here’s how we’re planning to do our bit:
Gaming is for everyone
We want to see opportunities being given to those who have felt excluded from gaming.
In practice, this means doing our best to provide opportunities for content creators and contractors who have previously been under-served. We see them as a natural part of the larger gaming community.
Fair and transparent pay
- We pay our employees and contractors fairly and on time.
- Our job listings always include a salary range.
- No full-time employee past their probation earns less than £30,000.
- Financial stability and the long-term safety of employees are our priority – not short-term profit.
- We’re transparent with our donations, making them public as they happen. List of recent donations at the end of this page.
Supporting small businesses
Where possible, we give preference to local, small retailers and businesses, as opposed to multinational corporations. We prefer to work with independent suppliers, rather than seek services through a corporate middleman.
Not making the world a worse place
As most of our business takes place online, it’s hard to measure our environmental impact. We can, however, take steps to ensure that we remain as sustainable as possible:
- We use public transport instead of cars, unless absolutely forced to (when transporting bulky or valuable goods, or late at night). We also use train connections, including internationally, instead of flying.
- We are a meat-free business — our team lunches and catering at our events and shoots will always be vegetarian or vegan. When looking for catering, we will also give priority to local vegetarian and vegan suppliers.
- We have a list of environmentally-preferred suppliers for shipping, our HQ and home offices, and we buy locally where we can.
- Our waste gets processed accordingly to guidances from our local council.
- Our merch, t-shirts and business cards are all sustainably printed. We don’t create items meant to be thrown away — everything can be reused or recycled.
We’re always looking to improve how we conduct our business and are open to suggestions from employees, contractors and clients (or you, reading this!).
