Ubisoft is publicly committing to a five-year plan which should improve the company's diversity. In recent years, Ubisoft has faced accusations and lawsuits regarding gender-based discrimination, "institutional harassment," and abuses of power. The accusations led to a wave of departures among Ubisoft's leadership, but stopped short of leading to co-founder Yves Guillemot stepping down. This has led to criticism over a lack of meaningful structural change at Ubisoft, perhaps prompting this new announcement.
