Concerns

There is a lack of publicly available, independently verified ESG data and transparency for Valve Corporation (the video game company), making it difficult for stakeholders to assess its environmental, social, and governance performance. Major ESG rating agencies and sustainability databases do not provide comprehensive ratings or disclosures for Valve Corporation.
