The Future Builds Here - Zaro with diverse children building together

Ethics & Impact

We're building ZaroVerse to last. That means transparent structure, responsible growth, and real-world impact baked into every decision we make.

ZaroVerse is not just a story universe. It's a company being built brick by brick, in public—from how we document the project, to how we design our parks, to how we give back.

Our Foundation

Built in the Open

Core documents, vision pieces, and launch decisions published on GitHub for anyone to read.

Green by Design

Nature-first destinations with elevated walkways, reversible structures, and sustainable materials.

Culture Before Hype

Characters and stories come first. Speculation never leads the narrative.

5% Philanthropy Pledge

5% of community treasury usage pledged to education, creators, and nature initiatives.

1. Built in the Open

From day one, we chose to document ZaroVerse like an open project. Core documents, vision pieces, and launch decisions are published on GitHub for anyone to read.

  • We record how the organization is structured, how characters and IP are protected, and how key choices are made.
  • When we change direction or improve something, we leave a trail behind us—so people can see how and why we evolved.
  • Our rule is simple: "If it matters to the community or our partners, it should be written down and easy to find."

2. Green by Design

ZaroVerse is about worlds, not just screens. That comes with responsibility. We aim to make "green by design" more than a slogan.

Parks & Destinations

  • ZaroLand and future parks are planned as nature-first destinations
  • Elevated walkways instead of heavy foundations wherever possible
  • Light, reversible structures that respect trees, soil, and wildlife
  • Careful lighting and capacity planning to keep the forest experience intact

Merchandise & Products

  • Preference for sustainable materials and responsible suppliers
  • Long-lasting products over disposable novelty items
  • Packaging choices that aim to reduce waste where we have control

This is an evolving commitment. As we grow, we expect our environmental standards to tighten, not loosen.

3. Culture Before Hype

ZaroVerse sits at the intersection of entertainment, technology, and community. That's powerful—and easy to misuse. We keep a few non-negotiables:

Characters First

Characters and stories come first. Speculation never leads the narrative.

Family-Friendly

Families and younger audiences are part of our core audience, so tone and content must stay safe, positive, and respectful.

No Shortcuts

We avoid shortcuts that might give a short-term buzz but damage trust over time.

Ethical Compass

If a decision doesn't fit our ethical compass—no matter how "exciting" it looks on paper—we step back.

4. A Community Token, Not a Financial Product

Along the way, our community asked for a way to symbolize their support. That became ZARO Coin.

A community-created cultural token, not an investment product

Seeded with company funds and structurally handed to the community

A tool for charity, merchandise perks, and special membership experiences

ZARO Coin is not a security and was never sold as a promise of profit, dividends, or ownership. It's a gesture of appreciation and participation inside the wider ZaroVerse story.

5. Our 5% Philanthropy Pledge

Because the token exists, we chose to attach something meaningful to it. Whenever we use the community treasury associated with ZARO Coin, 5% of that usage is pledged to philanthropy.

As our operations and reporting mature, we plan to share clear records of donations, causes, and impact through our public docs.

Education & Youth

Programs that give young people access to creative tools, technology, and safe spaces to learn and play.

Creators & Storytellers

Support for independent artists, animators, and writers whose work aligns with positive, inclusive culture.

🌳

Nature & Community

Initiatives that protect green spaces, forests, and local communities—especially where ZaroLand and future parks operate.

6. Community Voice, Real-World Impact

Ethics isn't just what we say—it's who we listen to.

Nominate Causes

Invite the community to nominate causes that match our values

Prioritize Together

Involve holders, partners, and fans in prioritizing impact areas

Share Stories

Share stories from organizations we support, especially around education, creators, and nature

"If ZaroVerse succeeds, the world around it should feel a little better because we were here."

7. Where We're Going

As ZaroVerse grows—across characters, media, merchandise, and parks—our ethics and impact commitments will guide:

How we pick partners and sponsors

How we design experiences and products

How we show up in cities, forests, and communities that welcome ZaroLand

If you care about transparency, green thinking, and culture that leaves the world better than it found it, you're in the right universe.
