Standard Development

The SGA Standard is designed to help games companies comply with current and emerging sustainability regulations, reducing both risk and costs for companies operating in multiple jurisdictions, providing a structured, cost-effective, and proactive approach to sustainability compliance.

SGA develops and updates the standard iteratively in sections. For each open section SGA calls for input and offers a Member Consultation.

A call for input goes out to SGA members, at least 5 working days before the section related online Member Consultation, offering members to influence the development not only by submitting input via email, but also by actively contributing to discussions on methodologies, format of data collection, boundaries and other topics related to the standard.

After each Member Consultation, SGA provides a consice summary of the current state of research, received information, views and perspectives laying ground for the member voting on the specific Standard section. Once an additional section of the Standard is complete and ready for integration, members have the opportunity to provide final feedback on new features before the component is adopted and made publicly available here. Each new version of the Standard must be approved by the SGA Board.
