CSR Charter

Our CSR activities and policies are based on a formal Charter that is based on 6 Pillars:

Ethical Approach

Infocredit Group adopts an ethical approach in terms of business operations. We constantly review our strategies and procedures in order to ensure that we do not have a detrimental impact on the local communities in which we operate.

In addition, we implement a verification process for all potential clients, partners and external suppliers before cooperation begins.
