Corporate social responsibility
IG&H and the ESG framework
Environmental, Social and Governance
As people, as colleagues and as a business we understand that we are not alone on the playing field. Our responsibility extends beyond our bubble. That’s why we are on a purpose-driven and action-oriented mission to make a positive impact. The ESG framework provides us with conscious focus and acts as an overarching framework. It not only helps us to categorize and measure but also enables us to select areas or initiatives where we can make a positive difference. The United Nation’s Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) guide our objectives by aligning with specific goals.
To evaluate our ESG initiatives, we were assessed by EcoVadis. The EcoVadis sustainability assessment is the world’s largest and most trusted provider of business sustainability ratings. IG&H recently had its first assessment, scoring 58 out of 100.
Although this was only our first assessment and a long road of improvement lies ahead, we are excited to share that we are in the top 25% of companies rated by EcoVadis in the computer programming and consultancy industry. IG&H was awarded a Silver medal certificate.

SDG #12 : Responsible consumption & production
We strive for sustainable consumption patterns to ensure welfare in everyday life. This aligns with the global challenge of over/poor consumption.

-
Waste separation
SDG #13 : Climate action
We feel responsible for the welfare of our future generation which requires us to take climate action. Our current initiatives to take climate action:

Governance
One of our IG&H values is Caring & Daring, which extends to our leadership style. We shape secure base leaders that are both sources of comfort and inspiration - encouraging us to take risks and get out of our comfort zone because we know there is a safetynet that supports us.
Catering to industries that often deal with sensitive information, we are ISO 27001 and 27701 certified to manage information security.
Always re-evaluating and learning, we value transparency and are working on making our ESG progress available to the public.
