The Importance of ESG

From the beginning, we made it a priority to incorporate ESG criteria into our corporate philosophy and structure. Here are some of the reasons why early engagement with ESG matters to us:

🌍 We only have one planet.
😊 We strive for better collaboration.
🔁 Transparency and exchange can influence not just ourselves, but others as well.
🔮 We are already prepared for tomorrow's regulations.

Why we disclose our information.

When choosing software providers, it is important to consider ESG criteria. A provider that prioritizes the environment, social responsibility, and good corporate governance demonstrates a commitment to sustainability and ethical conduct. This builds trust with customers and stakeholders and enables positive impact. Therefore, choose service providers who share your values and allow for a responsible partnership.

Service providers who do not disclose ESG information will not live up to it, even if they have it, due to a lack of transparency.

Our ESG Policy

Scope

We are committed to following this ESG policy within our own organization and with the partners we work with.

We will strive to encourage our partners, clients, etc. to agree to our ESG policy and commit to pursuing our ESG values. Additionally, we will seek to collaborate with partners and market participants who implement such ESG values themselves or can at least identify with them.
