We are proud of the progress we’ve already made and remain committed to continuous improvement as we help our customers navigate the future of media with confidence, efficiency, and integrity.
Telestream is committed to reducing the environmental footprint of media workflows through smarter software design, optimized infrastructure use, and flexible deployment models. From transcoding to quality control, we help customers streamline operations and scale responsibly.
Telestream empowers customers to align their media operations with sustainability goals by offering flexible deployment options across on-premises, cloud, and hybrid environments. Our hybrid deployment models allow organizations to offload specific jobs—such as encoding, QC, or packaging—to cloud-based resources only when needed, reducing the need for alwayson infrastructure and lowering total power consumption.
This burst-style scalability supports more sustainable media supply chains, enabling teams to:
Whether running fully cloud-native, hybrid, or on-premises workflows, Telestream ensures that processing resources are allocated efficiently, scaled intelligently, and deployed in ways that minimize environmental impact
Across our portfolio, we embed automation, AI, and intelligent decision-making to reduce redundant file movement, manual intervention and avoid unnecessary reprocessing. Features like metadata enrichment at ingest, automated QC, and integrated orchestration help:
These design choices lead to more efficient operations and help reduce infrastructure strain without compromising quality, flexibility, or control.
Vantage GRID accelerates long-form, highresolution media processing by up to 61% through multi-node parallelization. By distributing workloads intelligently across compute resources, GRID minimizes idle time and improves throughput. This architecture enables customers to process media faster while using infrastructure more efficiently.
Vantage GRID helps organizations optimize compute allocation across their environments—reducing bottlenecks, maximizing utilization, and enabling leaner media operations.
Our Review solution supports proxy-less playback, reducing the need to generate and store duplicate proxy files. This streamlines media review workflows and decreases storage and network usage, particularly in hybrid and distributed environment.
Unlike closed systems tied to a specific provider, Telestream solutions are architected for interoperability. We enable customers to run workflows where they make the most sense—on-prem, in the cloud, or in hybrid configurations—empowering them to align operational choices with their own sustainability targets and infrastructure strategies.
At Telestream, we believe that social responsibility starts with how we treat people—our employees, our customers, and the communities we serve. We are committed to building a company culture rooted in equity, accessibility, and shared value, and to delivering technologies that extend these values into the broader media ecosystem.
We strive to foster a diverse and inclusive workforce where everyone feels empowered to contribute and grow. Our hiring practices focus on equitable access to opportunity, and we actively seek out diverse perspectives across teams, leadership, and geographies. We recognize that diverse voices make our solutions stronger, our culture more vibrant, and our impact more meaningful.
Telestream technologies are used by educational institutions, houses of worship, and mission-driven organizations to create and distribute content that informs, inspires, and connects communities. From live streaming services to captioning and postproduction, our solutions help make media creation more accessible and impactful across a wide range of use cases.
We encourage Telestream employees to give back—through volunteer programs, community engagement, and support for causes they care about. Our teams participate in local initiatives, tech education programs, and social good campaigns that reflect our shared commitment to making a positive impact beyond the workplace.
Trust is foundational to every customer relationship we build. At Telestream, we uphold that trust through transparent governance practices, strong security protections, and a company-wide commitment to ethical conduct. Our approach goes beyond compliance— reflecting our responsibility as a global technology provider.
Privacy and data protection are built into every Telestream product. This is especially critical in our AI-powered tools, where we maintain strict controls to safeguard customer content. No customer media is ever used to train Telestream AI models, ensuring proprietary assets remain fully private.
Our on-prem, cloud, and hybrid options support secure, policy-compliant workflows for broadcast, government, education, and enterprise use cases.
We operate under a formal code of conduct that guides ethical business practices across all areas of our company—from sales and support to internal collaboration. Every employee is expected to uphold values of fairness, respect, and accountability.
We enforce transparent, compliant procurement processes and do not tolerate bribery or corruption. Our vendor management policies follow best practices in supplier selection, contract oversight, and third-party risk assessment.
Telestream complies with applicable laws and regulations in all regions where we operate. This includes data protection frameworks such as the General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR) in Europe, and industry-specific standards around broadcast accessibility, export controls, and intellectual property. We continually evolve our policies to meet emerging requirements and maintain the trust of our customers and partners.
At Telestream, sustainability is not just something we engineer into our products— it’s something we enable for our customers. Through flexible deployments, intelligent automation, and open architecture, we empower media companies to align their operations with their own environmental goals while maintaining control, scalability, and quality
This section highlights how Telestream’s technology gives customers tangible tools to reduce resource waste, improve infrastructure utilization, and scale responsibly—on their terms.
Media workflows don’t follow a fixed pattern - and infrastructure shouldn’t either. Telestream supports hybrid deployments that allow customers to dynamically scale media processing based on real-world demand. Jobs like transcoding, QC, and packaging can be burst to cloud resources when needed, rather than overbuilding on-prem infrastructure for peak loads.
This flexibility enables customers to:
Telestream doesn’t prescribe one model - we provide the flexibility to adapt, optimize, and align deployments with customer-specific sustainability policies and compliance frameworks.
Our compute orchestration, and cloudneutral architecture to help customers minimize waste across the entire media supply chain
Key enablers include:
These capabilities empower customers to build scalable, efficient media operations tailored to their own environmental, operational, and regional requirements.
Environmental and social responsibility is an ongoing journey, not a one-time milestone. At Telestream, we view ESG as a living framework that evolves alongside our products, our people, and industry.
As we scale and innovate, we remain focused on embedding sustainability and inclusion more deeply across our software, operations, and culture. Our near-term ESG priorities include:
We are enhancing our cloud-native and hybrid deployment options to lower the carbon impact of media processing. This includes elastic job offloading, and resourceaware automation, and location optimized workflows that minimize compute and transfer loads.
Each product release - especially within the Vantage ecosystem - is evaluated for performance and infrastructure efficiency. We aim to reduce processing demands through smarter orchestration, automation, and architectural enhancements.
We are improving how we track diversity metrics, promote inclusive leadership, and expand equitable access to opportunity. Our goal is stronger representation across roles, geographies, and decision-making levels.
We will continue to invest in AI transparency, accessibility, privacy-by-design, and sustainable workflow design - so our customers can confidently meet evolving regulatory and operational expectations with confidence.
