Ethical Profile

Mixed.

CuriosityStream receives a mixed ethical rating. In 2023, CEO Clint Stinchcomb's pay was $1,847,830, reportedly above average for similar US companies. Critics point to a lack of transparency, with no public data on median employee compensation or pay ratio, leading to a conservative negative assessment for worker respect. On the environmental front, CuriosityStream invested in carbon offsets for 25,000 metric tons of CO2 in 2024. Reports suggest 37% of its data centers and 25% of network infrastructure use renewable energy. Comprehensive environmental data, however, is not publicly available. The company's business model has minimal direct interaction with animals, though it has celebrated World Chimpanzee Day.
