While the global pandemic has slowed down and the overall environment keeps facing a variety of new challenges, Gamania Group has never stopped for once, continuing to move forward steadily in the changing market environment based on a multi-faceted business strategy. In 2023, the consolidated revenue was NTD 9.79 billion, and the operating profit was NTD 640 million.
We have not only pursued innovation and breakthroughs in the application of technology, but also supported original content in various sectors such as comic, novel, illustration with text, and music for long, fostering a positive cycle of the industrial ecology. Gamania does not only pay attention to the businesses.
Knowing full well the importance of sustainable development to corporate operations, Gamania Group has set four major sustainability strategies and policies in 2022, including “Promoting Sustainable Management,” “Promoting Digital Responsibility,” “Promoting Environmental Friendliness” and “Promoting Positive Value,” and determined measurable indicators for stepwise implementation based on the seven UN Sustainable Development Goals (UN SDGs) highly relevant to the core business.
We are glad to share our impressive achievements in 2023:
Gamania believes that sound corporate governance is the cornerstone of business development and supports the provision of high-quality products and services for customers. Therefore, the Group established the Risk Management Committee this year to identify potential risks in various aspects of corporate management and business processes, so as to ensure the effectiveness of sustainable operations. Gamania has been rated as the top 6%-20% among TPEX-listed companies in the corporate governance evaluation for four consecutive years, and has been ranked first in the domestic industry of interactive media, services home entertainment (IMS) by the international sustainability evaluation agency, SP Global.
“Working and living in peace” is our commitment to our employees. We are committed to creating a friendly environment where employees can take care of both work and life with peace of mind by constantly implementing various welfare measures. Actively practicing sustainable dining actions, the employee cafeteria “Gama Island” was recognized by the 3rd Green Dining Guide “Corporate Green Food First Award” and obtained the Ministry of Environment’s “Eco-friendly Restaurant” certification.
Gamania is devoted to creating a safe and high-quality digital service experience for the players and users, standing by the side of consumers and protecting the rights and interests of all users. We were the first in the industry to formulate regulations regarding advertising, and combated fraud from all dimensions through channel management and close cooperation with the public sector. As of the end of the year, nearly 90% of the fraud cases had been significantly reduced, showing our industrial self-discipline and fulfillment of social responsibilities. Meanwhile, in 2023, there were no major cyberattacks or privacy breaches at Gamania. We revised 13 information security regulations, and got 86 patents approved and announced in Taiwan.
In 2023, despite the increased business volume and number of employees at Gamania, we were still actively engaged in energy saving and carbon reduction measures. We conducted hardware restructuring at the headquarters, replacing old lamps with an LED induction system; the electricity consumption per person this year declined by 17% compared to 2022. In addition, we introduced atmospheric water generators that could turn moisture in the air into potable water for the first time, and advocated employees’ water-saving practices; the water consumption per person decreased by 5.34 m³ compared to the previous year. Also, we continued to promote environmental protection internally; as a result of our efforts to reduce plastics, the garbage generation per person was reduced by 11.71 kg. Gamania adopted the Task Force on Climate-Related Financial Disclosures (TCFD) methodology for independent check of potential climate risks and opportunities earlier than the peers in the industry and even the domestic laws and regulations. The Group’s carbon reduction commitment has also been certified by the CWS as one of the 220 companies in Taiwan with exceptional performance in line with the “target for temperature rise limit of 1.5°C” of the Paris Agreement, making us ranked 14th among all industries and ranked 1st in the service industry of software.
Gamania Group is a company with the DNA of “taking up challenges.” Apart from the actions to support grassroots baseball, Gamania Group organizes at least three blood donation events every year, including the participation in the “Neihu Technology Park 1,000-person Blood Donation Campaign” for seven consecutive years; the number of participants reached 197 employees in 2023, with a total of 293 bags of blood collected. Also, we work together with rural and local communities and enterprises to spread positive influence to different corners of society. Furthermore, Gamania Cheer Up Foundation continues to promote adventure education for young people. In addition to the continuous promotion of the Big Dream Project, it expanded the initiative dimension of adventure culture in 2023 by supporting the establishment of the first U12 community club basketball team in Hualien, “Hualien Gama Apes,” and launching the “Gamania Coast to Peak Ultramarathon” project featuring an extremely challenging event with a track built to international standards that allows more people to see Taiwan’s rich cultural heritage and unique landscape ecology.
Gamania’s mission is to create a digital life full of fun for all players and users. In the future, the Group will regard high-tech and internationalization as the development targets, focusing on expanding the fields of AI technology application to provide more globalized network technology services. At the same time, we will embrace every change and challenge with the attitude of “Dare to Challenge” and the adventure spirit for brave breakthroughs, so as to bring a positive influence to the market and build a sustainable corporate brand with our actions.
