Executive Summary
Teads Holding Co. and its subsidiaries (together, “Teads”) is committed to managing environmental considerations across its operations and value chain through a practical, business-relevant, and evidence-based approach.
As a global adtech company, Teads recognizes that environmental topics increasingly intersect with infrastructure dependency, operational resilience, regulatory expectations, stakeholder trust, reporting obligations, and long-term business continuity.
This policy establishes the governance and operational principles that guide how environmental considerations are integrated into relevant business decisions and processes across Teads.
Teads recognizes that environmental methodologies, reporting frameworks, and infrastructure visibility continue to evolve across the adtech ecosystem. The company will continue strengthening governance, data quality, and operational integration over time using reasonable, evidence-based approaches.
Policy Owner:
CAO Team / Inclusion & Sustainability Manager
Governance Support:
Climate Risk Working Group. Climate-risk-working-group@teads.com
Review Cycle:
This policy will be reviewed annually, or more frequently if required due to legal, regulatory, operational, or business changes.
1. Purpose & Scope
This policy applies globally across all Teads employees and legal entities. It also informs how Teads engages with relevant third-party contractors, vendors, and operational partners where appropriate.
The policy supports environmental decision-making across areas relevant to Teads’ operations, including:
- emissions measurement and reporting
- digital infrastructure and technology operations
- procurement and vendor engagement
- office operations and workplace practices
- media delivery and advertising-related activity
- climate-related governance and reporting
- environmental communications and claims
Implementation may vary based on local legal requirements, operational realities, infrastructure availability, lease constraints, or regional business needs. Where local laws impose additional requirements, local legal obligations take precedence.
Supporting standards, procedures, operational guidance, or reporting processes may be developed separately where additional implementation detail is required.
2. Decision-Making Principles
Teads will manage environmental topics in a way that is: practical and proportionate, informed by business relevance and operational impact, based on evidence and available methodologies, integrated into cross-functional decision-making, transparent about assumptions, limitations, and data maturity.
Environmental considerations like greenhouse gas (“GHG”) emissions, energy and water usage, and operational resilience should be evaluated alongside business performance, operational effectiveness, client impact, employee experience, security and resilience requirements, legal and regulatory obligations and financial sustainability.
Not all decisions will prioritize environmental optimization equally. Trade-offs may be necessary depending on operational, commercial, legal, technical, or client-related requirements.
3. Environmental Priorities and Expectations
A. Emissions Measurement and Reporting Readiness
Teads will continue strengthening visibility into GHG emissions associated with relevant business activities and operational areas.
This may include:
- office operations and workplace activities
- employee travel and business-related expenses
- purchased goods and services
- digital infrastructure and cloud-related operations
- media-related activity where methodologies are sufficiently robust
- AI and large-scale processing data
Teads utilizes recognized third-party adtech emissions measurement platforms and industry-standard tools, such as Cedara and Scope3, to support emissions visibility. From time to time, Teads may assess additional methodologies or tools as reporting needs evolve.
B. Digital Infrastructure and Technology
Teads recognizes that digital infrastructure, cloud operations, and AI may contribute significantly to environmental impact and operational dependency across the adtech ecosystem.
Teads may:
- improve visibility into infrastructure-related environmental impacts
- engage material vendors on relevant environmental information
- consider infrastructure efficiency and resilience within relevant operational discussions
- strengthen internal understanding of infrastructure-related environmental dependencies and risks
Relevant operational stakeholders should support efforts to improve infrastructure visibility and maintain relevant vendor documentation where available.
C. Office Operations and Workplace Practices
Teads will support practical and locally appropriate environmental practices across office operations and workplace activities where operationally feasible.
Teads recognizes that in-person collaboration, client engagement, onboarding, relationship-building, and commercial activity remain important parts of how the business operates globally.
Teams are encouraged to make thoughtful decisions balancing collaboration quality, client and business impact, operational effectiveness, employee experience, travel efficiency, and environmental considerations.
Teams may consider:
- combining trips where practical
- reducing unnecessary travel
- evaluating virtual participation
- considering lower-emission transportation options where operationally feasible
Environmental considerations should support business continuity, operational effectiveness, collaboration, safety, accessibility, legal compliance, and client relationships.
D. Procurement and Vendor Engagement
Teads recognizes that a significant portion of environmental exposure may sit within its broader value chain and infrastructure ecosystem.
Environmental considerations may be included within relevant procurement and vendor discussions, particularly for operationally significant suppliers and infrastructure-related vendors.
This may include review of: environmental disclosures, governance practices, infrastructure-related metrics, relevant sustainability-related information where available.
Procurement and relevant business stakeholders should maintain reasonable documentation where environmental information is collected or reviewed.
E. Responsible Environmental Communication and Claims
Teads is committed to ensuring that environmental claims and public-facing sustainability statements are clear, supportable, and reviewed.
Environmental communications should:
- avoid misleading or unsubstantiated claims
- accurately reflect available evidence and methodology
- clearly communicate scope and limitations
- avoid overstating environmental benefits or outcomes
All material environmental claims must be reviewed and cleared by the Legal department, in coordination with the CAO, Sustainability, Communication, Commercial and/or Marketing functions (as applicable), prior to publication.
No external environmental claim should be made unless it can be reasonably supported and appropriately reviewed. Employees who are unsure whether review is required should contact the Inclusion & Sustainability Manager for guidance and coordination.
4. Governance and Responsibilities
Environmental governance at Teads is coordinated through the CAO / Sustainability function with support from relevant business functions and governance groups.
The CAO / Inclusion & Sustainability Lead is responsible for:
- maintaining this policy
- supporting environmental governance coordination
- coordinating reporting readiness and disclosure
- convening or coordinating the Climate Risk Working Group
- coordinating cross-functional collaboration
The Climate Risk Working Group supports:
- climate-risk identification and assessment

Environmental considerations may also be integrated into relevant procurement, infrastructure, reporting, risk-management, and operational planning processes.

- avoid making unsupported environmental claims on behalf of Teads
5. Climate Risk, Reporting, and Regulatory Alignment
Teads recognizes that environmental and climate-related topics may create operational, regulatory, infrastructure-related, reputational, and commercial risks for the business.
Teads will continue strengthening environmental governance and reporting readiness through improved data, clearer accountability, stronger cross-functional coordination, and integration with broader governance and risk-management processes.
Teads monitors relevant climate-related disclosure, infrastructure-efficiency, and sustainability-claims requirements that may materially affect the business. Tead’s approach may be informed by applicable regulatory requirements and recognized frameworks, including CSRD, TCFD, California SB-253, California SB-261, and relevant sustainability-claims regulations.
