ESG at LiveU
Your partner for a sustainable future
ESG (Environmental Social & Governance) represents the three pillars of corporate sustainability for a better future. LiveU's goal is to create a positive impact in each pillar with a comprehensive ESG strategy and clearly defined targets.
Taking action
In many ways, LiveU IP bonding and cloud-based solutions are “greener-by-nature”, facilitating sustainable live productions for our customers.
We continue to reduce our environmental footprint at the operational level across our global offices, including switching office power to green electricity. We also strive to ensure the highest levels of employee wellbeing, while giving back to the community, being more eco-friendly and engaging in ethical business practices.
Our ESG journey
From its inception, LiveU technology and solutions have been about facilitating greater efficiency in live production. That is the core of our bonded transmission evolution, helping customers to reduce both costs and their environmental footprint.
In 2022, we formally embarked on our own internal journey to consciously embed Environmental and Social goals and targets into the company’s strategy and daily operations. With management commitment, we appointed a dedicated Head of ESG, engaged with consultants, and formalized our company practices.
Bringing together our employees, technology and supply chain
We see ESG – particularly sustainability – as an evolving journey to positively impact the world in which we operate and mitigate any adverse impacts. As a business, we aim to deliver our services in line with our values to our customers, partners, employees, investors, and other stakeholders.
Believing that every effort counts, we are committed to setting a strong example with initiatives, such as packaging materials recycling, sustainable office renovations and reducing emissions in air shipments.
Concrete steps towards a sustainable future
Building on a track record of innovation and delivering sustainability initiatives, we have started to formalize processes to identify, monitor, and integrate our ESG activities. We believe that a holistic approach, encompassing daily practices, is critical and we’re continuing to collect data and develop working procedures, such as reviewing our power consumption towards greater operational efficiency.
The following sections provide an overview and quantifiable targets we’ve set ourselves.
Environmental
Highlights and targets for 2026
-
ESG Management
LiveU has appointed a Head of ESG to coordinate ESG activities across the company. This includes developing and implementing policies, processes and tools. We also engage our employees and board on this journey. We are starting to report some ESG data externally, beginning with our investors as well as the Carbon Disclosure Project (CDP).
-
Carbon Footprint
We monitor our energy consumption and report GHG emissions to CDP, and have achieved a respectable B score. We strive to improve steadily on our carbon and climate journey, e.g. we've been collecting 100% of our Scope 1+2 GHG emissions data. We are on track to calculate 100% of most of our material Scope 3 GHG data (supply chain) this year and move to 100% renewable energy supply in all our facilities by 2027.
-
Supply Chain ESG Management
In 2024-2025, we developed our supply chain ESG evaluation. We now cover more than 50% of our main upstream/downstream suppliers by 2026. We are also rolling out best practices where it matters, e.g. taking part in DHL’s GoGreen initiative for the second year to purchase aviation bio-fuel to actually reduce our transport GHG emissions.
-
Packaging Recycling
In 2024-2025, we switched more that 90% of our products/ shipping materials to be recyclable. LiveU's newest LU900Q unit was designed from the start with reduced packaging and recyclable packaging materials.
-
Optimizing Cloud Operations
We are targeting 10% reduction (normalized) in our cloud operations (reducing instances, uptime, etc.).
-
Sustainable Offices
In 2026, green electricity will be implemented in many of our offices. Our UK office renovations included E/V charging stations, local furniture, recycled materials, efficient A/C-heating, hybrid working, waste separation, etc. In another location we invested in an advanced A/C/heating system, replacing an older and less efficient one.
Social
Highlights and targets for 2026
-
Holistic Annual Social Plan
We continue to set goals, monitor execution, and provide feedback covering 80% of our activities for employees and the community.
-
Equal Opportunity
LiveU is an equal opportunity employer committed to fair, inclusive, and non-discriminatory employment practices. We prohibit discrimination of any kind.
-
Employee Wellbeing
At the heart of our tech innovation lies our most valuable asset: our people. We are committed to fostering an environment that draws and inspires top talent: promoting fair equality, career dev, company/team activities (more than 2x a year), training (onboarding, products & power skills initiative), and hybrid workplace (2 or 3 days from home depending on role).
-
Giving Back to the Community
We have implemented an Annual Volunteer Plan with employee involvement in over 20 local charities in three continents and four countries. We continue to support a range of employee and company activities globally (e.g. food contributions, sponsored runs, school supplies, children's games for hospitals, donations) and provide technical broadcast support for environmental causes and more.
-
Business Mentoring
We work with start-up leaders, students and others on a volunteer basis.
-
Learning & Development
We support professional training programs and upskilling opportunities, leadership development tracks, mentorship and coaching initiatives, partnerships with academic or professional institutions. Our recent annual employee satisfaction survey achieved a 75% participation rate, with a high score for company health (4.17 out of 5).
