In 2023, ID Finance laid a strong foundation for sustainable growth, achieving notable recognition such as the IQNet SR 10 certification from AENOR, which confirms its Social Responsibility Management System aligns with global standards. Additionally, the company completed its carbon footprint verification for 2022 and received the COMPENSO certificate from the Spanish Ministry for Ecological Transition and Demographic Challenge.

The company expects to receive the equivalent certification for 2023 soon. Moving forward, ID Finance plans to enhance its efforts to fully offset its CO2 emissions, reinforcing its commitment to achieving carbon neutrality.

Commitment to a Sustainable Business Model

ID Finance champions a business model built on the pillars of ethical financing, transparency, and comprehensive client support, underpinned by an extensive risk management framework. Its pioneering financial solutions, notably its flagship financial wellness app Plazo and cornerstone of its strategic initiatives, have been recognized for enhancing financial inclusion and well-being. In 2023, the company also received the Best ESG Inclusive Finance Solutions award from Capital Finance International.

The 2023 ESG report further accentuates ID Finance's uncompromising stance against corruption and fraud, strengthened by rigorous internal policies and educational initiatives. The firm's adherence to the highest standards of data protection and privacy is validated through meticulous audits and compliance with both local and international regulations.

Looking forward, ID Finance is unwavering in its ambition to amplify its beneficial impact on the environment, society, and the financial sector. “Our dedication to sustainability is an ongoing journey, and we are committed to making substantial contributions to the UN Sustainable Development Goals, thereby generating added value for our shareholders,” stated Boris Batine, co-founder of ID Finance. “Moreover, by implementing CSR policies, we are contributing to a more sustainable and equitable world.
