ThaVibes Environmental, Social and Governance (ESG) Statement

Last Updated: April 3, 2026

Introduction

ThaVibes recognizes that global sustainability challenges—including climate change, biodiversity loss, digital inclusion, ethical AI deployment and human rights are critical in 2026. As a leading digital platform empowering independent creators and filmmakers worldwide (with deep roots in the Caribbean and CARICOM region), ThaVibes partners with creators, audiences, investors and stakeholders to deliver innovative streaming, AI-powered tools, events and monetization services at scale while advancing sustainable solutions.

This ESG Statement outlines ThaVibes’ commitment to identifying, assessing and managing environmental, social and governance (ESG) risks and opportunities. It reflects ongoing dialogue with internal and external stakeholders and is reviewed annually to align with evolving global standards (including ISSB IFRS S1 & S2, EU CSRD/ESRS where applicable, GRI, SASB TMT standards, Science Based Targets initiative (SBTi) and the EU AI Act), technological advancements and our business strategy. This is a forward-looking, evolving document that prioritizes long-term value creation for our community, shareholders and the planet.

Approach to Sustainability

Sustainability leadership is both a business imperative and a core expression of ThaVibes’ values: Doing the Right Thing, Putting Creators and Audiences First, Leading with Exceptional Ideas, Committing to Diversity, Equity and Inclusion and Giving Back.

Our Digital Sustainable Research (DSR) Group leads the integration of ESG considerations across the platform, focusing on three pillars:

  1. Solutions and Services: Developing and promoting sustainable digital tools, including energy-efficient AI creator features, virtual production technologies and low-carbon streaming experiences that drive progress on climate action, inclusive growth, the circular digital economy and responsible AI.
  2. Companywide Sustainability: Embedding ESG into operations, product development, AI governance and decision-making.
  3. Field Building through Media and Digital Influence: Leveraging our platform to accelerate sustainable practices in the global film, tech and creator economy—particularly in the Caribbean and CARICOM region—through thought leadership, creator education and promotion of digital innovation that supports regional resilience, biodiversity and cultural preservation.

Sustainable Filmmaking and Digital Innovation

ThaVibes aims to be the preferred platform for creators seeking long-term, sustainable value. We collaborate with filmmakers, AI tool users and the DSR Group to scale digital solutions that reduce environmental impact while fostering creativity.

In 2026, sustainable filmmaking increasingly means leveraging AI-driven virtual production, cloud-based collaboration and energy-optimized rendering to minimize physical shoots, travel and resource use—delivering net-positive environmental benefits. ThaVibes researches and integrates green computing practices, efficient AI models and circular economy principles (e.g. data lifecycle management and e-waste considerations in hardware partnerships) to support creators worldwide.

Environmental and Social Risk Management

ESG risk management is integral to ThaVibes’ operations. Our due diligence processes identify and mitigate material risks related to climate, digital infrastructure, AI ethics, human rights and community impact. The DSR Group provides expertise, conducts assessments, engages stakeholders and monitors emerging issues in partnership with business units.

Process and Scope

This ESG Statement applies globally to all ThaVibes activities, including:

  • Content Creation and AI Tools
  • Streaming and Digital Infrastructure
  • Event Management and Marketplace Operations
  • Data Management and Digital Wallets

Business units refer potential high-risk activities to the DSR Group. Assessments follow international frameworks (ISSB, GRI, SASB TMT, EU AI Act), industry best practices (e.g. Greening of Streaming principles) and internal guidelines.

Enhanced Due Diligence

Enhanced due diligence is applied to activities with elevated ESG risks, including comprehensive reviews of AI model training impacts, data center partnerships or large-scale creator projects. This may involve third-party audits, stakeholder consultations or impact assessments.

Client and Creator Engagement

ThaVibes engages creators and audiences on material ESG issues. Where risks are identified, we collaborate on mitigation strategies. We support the global transition to a low-carbon, inclusive digital economy and help creators navigate climate and AI-related opportunities and risks.

Sector Approaches

ThaVibes tailors its ESG approach to digital and media-specific activities:

  • AI Compute and Data Centers: We prioritize energy-efficient AI models and partner with providers committed to renewable energy and low Power Usage Effectiveness (PUE). We seek to minimize the carbon and water footprint of AI training and inference used in creator tools.
  • Streaming Infrastructure: We optimize codecs, adaptive bitrate streaming and edge computing to reduce energy consumption across global networks, aligning with Greening of Streaming recommendations.
  • Content Creation (Film, Music, Immersive Media): We promote AI-assisted virtual production to lower physical resource use and encourage creators to adopt sustainable practices. We do not support projects involving illegal logging, unsustainable resource extraction or high-impact activities without appropriate safeguards.
  • Digital Services and Events: Hybrid/virtual events are prioritized to reduce travel emissions; we evaluate partners for ESG alignment.

Cross-Sector Approaches

  • Biodiversity, Critical Habitats and Cultural Heritage: We recognize the unique ecological and cultural richness of the Caribbean and CARICOM region and support digital initiatives that raise awareness and fund conservation.
  • Human Rights and Labor: ThaVibes prohibits involvement in modern slavery, forced labor or exploitative child labor. We uphold digital rights, fair creator compensation and non-discrimination. We align with UN Guiding Principles on Business and Human Rights and IFC Performance Standards.
  • Indigenous Peoples and Local Communities: We respect rights of Indigenous and local communities, particularly in CARICOM territories and expect alignment with relevant international standards.
  • Algorithmic Transparency and Responsible AI: Consistent with the EU AI Act and global best practices, we ensure transparency in AI recommendations, content moderation and generative tools, mitigating bias and promoting accessibility.

Climate Change

ThaVibes acknowledges climate change as a material risk and opportunity. We are committed to science-based targets and net-zero financed and operational emissions by 2050, with interim progress milestones.

Four-Pillar Climate Strategy:

  1. Supporting the low-carbon transition through AI tools and platform features that enable sustainable content creation.
  2. Integrating climate risk into governance and operations.
  3. Enhancing operational resilience, including renewable energy procurement and efficient data practices.
  4. Providing transparent, ISSB-aligned climate disclosures annually.

We measure and report Scope 1, 2 and material Scope 3 emissions (including AI energy use and downstream streaming) and mobilize resources to support low-carbon solutions.

Human Rights

ThaVibes is committed to respecting and advancing human rights across our value chain. We integrate human rights due diligence into AI development, content policies and supplier relationships. Our platform fosters inclusive spaces free from discrimination, harassment or exploitation.

Sustainable Operations

We minimize our operational footprint by:

  • Pursuing 100% renewable energy for data centers and offices where feasible.
  • Reducing energy, water and waste through green cloud practices and circular digital principles.
  • Educating employees and creators on sustainable choices.
  • Targeting carbon neutrality in global operations by the end of 2026, with ongoing reductions thereafter.

Governance, Implementation and Reporting

The ThaVibes Board of Directors (via the Governance and Risk Committees) oversees ESG strategy. The DSR Group, C-suite and business units implement this Statement, which is reviewed annually and updated as needed.

  • Training: All employees receive ESG and responsible AI training.
  • Stakeholder Engagement: We maintain regular dialogue with creators, audiences, investors, CARICOM partners, NGOs and policymakers through roundtables and feedback channels.
  • Reporting: ThaVibes publishes an annual ESG Report aligned with ISSB, GRI and SASB TMT standards, providing transparent, assured data on performance and progress.

Disclaimer

ThaVibes remains fully committed to the principles and goals outlined in this ESG Statement. However, the maintenance, implementation and achievement of all ESG initiatives, targets and commitments are expressly subject to the financial well-being and operational viability of the Company. In the event that continued adherence to any aspect of this Policy would have an adverse material effect on ThaVibes’ operations, financial performance, liquidity or ability to serve its creators and users, the Company reserves the right to postpone, revise, adjust or suspend such initiatives as necessary to prioritize the financial needs and long-term sustainability of the business. Any such adjustments will be made transparently and in good faith, with updates reflected in future revisions of this Statement and in our annual reporting.

Summary

ThaVibes takes an “All-In” approach to ESG. In the Caribbean and CARICOM region—where cultural diversity, vibrant ecosystems, coral reefs and unique biodiversity face acute climate and development pressures—responsible digital innovation is especially vital. By embedding ESG into our platform, AI tools and creator ecosystem, we protect what makes our region extraordinary while empowering global independent filmmakers to build a more sustainable, inclusive future.

We remain committed to transparency, continuous improvement and creating long-term value through ethical technology and community-focused action. This Statement reflects our dedication to doing business responsibly in 2026 and beyond.
