Employee Resource Group (ERG) Guidelines

Last Updated on July 5, 2026

Welcome to Marketeq Digital Inc. (hereinafter referred to as "Marketeq," "we," "us," or "our"). These Employee Resource Group (ERG) Guidelines (the "Guidelines") describe Marketeq's approach to supporting employee resource groups, which are voluntary, employee-led communities that foster connection, inclusion, and professional development. Marketeq believes that employee resource groups can strengthen our inclusive culture and provide valuable support to our people. These Guidelines supplement our Diversity and Inclusion Policy. If you have any questions regarding these Guidelines, you may contact us at legal@marketeqdigital.com.

1. Purpose and Scope

The purpose of these Guidelines is to describe how Marketeq supports employee resource groups and the expectations that apply to them. These Guidelines apply to employee resource groups established within Marketeq and to the employees who participate in them. They reflect our commitment to fostering an inclusive culture and to supporting employee-led communities. These Guidelines should be read together with our Diversity and Inclusion Policy. They provide a framework within which employee resource groups may operate.

2. What Are Employee Resource Groups

For the purposes of these Guidelines, "Employee Resource Groups" or "ERGs" are voluntary, employee-led groups formed around shared characteristics, experiences, or interests, with the aim of fostering connection, inclusion, and support. ERGs may provide opportunities for community, professional development, mentorship, and engagement. ERGs are intended to be inclusive and welcoming to those who wish to participate or support their aims. Understanding the role of ERGs guides how we support them. ERGs contribute to an inclusive and connected workplace.

3. Purpose of ERGs

ERGs at Marketeq are intended to foster a sense of belonging, to support the professional development of their members, and to contribute to our inclusive culture. ERGs may provide a space for connection and mutual support, offer development and networking opportunities, and provide perspectives that help inform our diversity and inclusion efforts. ERGs are intended to complement, and align with, our broader commitment to diversity and inclusion. The purpose of ERGs reflects our values and goals. We value the contributions that ERGs can make.

4. Participation

Participation in ERGs is voluntary, and employees are free to choose whether to participate. ERGs are intended to be inclusive, and participation is generally open to those who share the group's aims or who wish to support them as allies. We encourage respectful and constructive participation. Employees should participate in ERGs in a manner consistent with their responsibilities and our policies. Voluntary and inclusive participation supports the positive role of ERGs.

5. Support from Marketeq

Marketeq seeks to support ERGs in a manner appropriate to our organization and resources. This support may include providing means for members to connect, recognizing the contributions of ERGs, and considering the perspectives they offer. As a remote-first organization, we seek to support ERGs in ways that work across our distributed workforce. Our support reflects the value we place on employee-led communities. We are committed to supporting ERGs in a meaningful way.

6. Expectations and Conduct

ERGs and their members are expected to operate in a manner consistent with our values and policies, including our Code of Conduct and Non-Discrimination and Anti-Harassment Policy. ERG activities should be respectful, inclusive, and aligned with our commitment to diversity and inclusion. ERGs should not engage in activities that would conflict with our policies or applicable law. Clear expectations support the positive and constructive operation of ERGs. We expect ERGs to reflect our values in their activities.

7. Alignment with Inclusion Goals

Marketeq seeks to ensure that ERGs align with and support its broader diversity and inclusion goals. We value the perspectives that ERGs can provide and consider how they can contribute to a more inclusive environment. We encourage collaboration between ERGs and our broader inclusion efforts. Alignment with our inclusion goals supports the effectiveness of ERGs. We view ERGs as part of our broader commitment to inclusion.

8. Changes to These Guidelines

Marketeq reserves the right to modify or update these Employee Resource Group (ERG) Guidelines at any time to reflect changes in our practices or values. Any changes will become effective upon posting the revised Guidelines, and we encourage you to review them periodically. Where changes are material, we will endeavor to communicate them through appropriate means.
