Many companies in luxury sector are invested in training and learning programs for organizational development. Gamification is one of the most popular methods to deliver modern day e-learning programs that give employees a more autonomous and engaging experience. There are several benefits to the professional environments by implementing;

• Environmental Responsibility
• Ethical Responsibility
• Philanthropic Responsibility

into their gamified CSR training. The benefits include increased employee retention, reinforced corporate image and opening up more innovation and creativity in corporate settings.

Diamondo raises awareness about the diamond industry and the significant impact it can have on the environment. a-Maze uses gamification technique to address these issues through responsible mining practices, certification schemes such as the Kimberley Process, and initiatives to reduce the environmental impact of diamond mining and processing.

A Serious Game that breaks down the complexity of sustainable development

When a-Maze entrusted Emeraude Escape with a project to shed light on the complexity of sustainable development in agri-food sector, it meant a lot to our team as it is one of the core values we’re fully committed to. Through this CSR awareness serious game, several important issues are brought to attention:

• Water and disturbing truths about plastic use
• Microplastic waste and the effects of food packaging
• Agriculture system and production of animal protein
• Food value chain and labour conditions
• Daily food waste
• Agri-food supply chain and CO2 Emission

Game scenario:

Our planet resources are not limitless, but demand continues to rise. Consumption in the future will be very different from present day.

A multigenerational family was getting ready to have dinner. When they started to take seat at the table, 6 essential items of their meal started to disappear. A strange portal opened suddenly and someone walked out of the portal, the man claimed that he came from the future to warn them that they needed to pay attention to their current buying/consumption behaviour in order to protect the resources in the future.

The mission is to help each member of the family to understand what they must do to bring back the 6 missing items of their meal to enjoy a nice family dinner.
