Impact: To catalyze global social impact and awareness through and beyond its platforms and users

The Company has served communities with a wide range of philanthropic efforts, from charity concerts, singing competitions, and livestreamed fundraisers to sponsoring causes aligned with its values.
For another, the Company addresses mental health issues and makes help accessible for everyone. In the Philippines, Uplive has partnered with the leading mental health platform, Mind You, on a long-term program that aims to provide mental health education and sessions, programs, and overall better access to mental health care for Filipino streamers and hosts on the platform. As part of its support for advocacy, Uplive donated $1,000 in November 2022 and $1,000 in December 2022 to Mind You, to subsidize 100 mental health sessions per month ($10/session).

Guard: To protect privacy and safety of users and promote positivity
ASIG cares about privacy and safety and has rigorous review processes and robust policies, while following U.S. social media industry standards and country-specific guidelines to ensure that all its platforms are safe and private spaces for its users. The Company values and preserves freedom of expression but does not tolerate divisive or derisive language or the exclusion or marginalization of others. ASIG has deployed artificial intelligence tools to review content, as well as cybersecurity tools to give its community members control over their privacy and ensure data security. Over hundreds of employees worldwide oversee the reporting and monitoring of community content and impose strict contractual penalties on users who break platform guidelines.
Andy Tian, Co-founder and Chief Executive Officer of ASIG said,” At ASIG, our guiding principles are, just like our acronym, “Advance, Impact, and Guard.” As we thought about ESG–environmental, social and governance–the “S” in ESG really spoke to us the loudest. We could have hired amazing copywriters to talk about our carbon-neutral goals for 2030, but we opted to dig in where we are really making a real difference. We think this platform use is terrific and fosters even more connectivity by enabling users with means in advanced economics to contribute positively to underprivileged creators in less developed regions.”
