Riot Games plans to establish an ethics committee and global deals council after the company’s short-lived partnership with NEOM, a Saudi Arabian city development project.
The global deals council will implement a tracker to provide company-wide transparency for “all business development and sponsorship deals occurring in Riot’s global operation.”
Representatives from Riot Games’ social impact division Karma, the Global Esports team, and its legal and diversity and inclusion teams will all be included. The council will report to the developer’s Head of Corporate and Business Development, Brian Cho, and Senior Vice President, Mark Sottosanti.
