Ubisoft is promising support for employees, but has muted criticism for legislators.
Ubisoft has sent out a letter to employees acknowledging the dueling legislative trends of anti-abortion laws and anti-LGBTQ laws in the United States of America. In the letter (shared via a company blog post), chief people officer Anika Grant and vice president of global diversity and inclusion acknowledged the impact these laws may have employees, and promised support from the company for employees to “have access to the quality healthcare that you need.”

Raashi and I are reaching out today because we’ve heard that some of you are deeply concerned by recent State legislation that affects the LGBTQ+ community and by the potential ramifications an upcoming US Supreme Court ruling could have on women as well as trans and non-binary people. We also heard that you wanted Ubisoft to be more active and vocal in our support of these groups.
On behalf of Yves and all of Ubisoft’s leadership team, we want to be clear: at Ubisoft, we believe that women’s rights are human rights, trans rights are human rights, and equal rights for all are essential to creating a world where everyone can be their authentic selves and thrive.
As always, our priority is the health, safety, and well-being of our teams. We are continuing to review our benefits packages for US employees to ensure you and your family will have access to the quality healthcare you need, regardless of where in the US you live. In addition, we are examining what other resources we can bring to bear to support our women and LGBTQ+ team members in the US who could be most directly affected.
