1939 Games, together with representatives of the Association of Game Producers (IGI), the Icelandic Electronic Sports Association (RÍSÍ), and Game Makers Iceland (GMI), signed an agreement on a safe working environment on September 16, 2021.

This Charter is unequivocal and sends a clear message about a healthy working environment in the video game industry. The Charter states that the organization does not tolerate harassment, sexual or gender-based harassment, or violence of any kind and will work systematically to prevent such unwanted behavior, take action to stop it, and prevent its recurrence in addition to supporting victims.

The organization believes that managers and leaders within its ranks are pivotal in shaping the video game industry's constructive culture and good image in Iceland. A safe working environment can only be created by working in the spirit of the Charter and by showing a professional approach characterized by consideration, courtesy, respect, and tolerance.
