We recognise that we’ve a responsibility to embrace sustainability. For us being a responsible and sustainable business means we’ll, as much as possible, reduce our environmental, social, and governance (ESG) risk in our operations.
Over the past two years we’ve made significant investment into our ‘Roadmap to Excellence’ (R2E) programme, designed to build upon the existing Framework, delivering a consistent, scalable and pragmatic Risk & Compliance Framework across all jurisdictions, further enhancing IQ-EQs ability to respond to future needs for enhancements and regulatory change. The R2E programme covers the key components of the Risk & Compliance Framework including a new and refreshed policy suite that builds on our global culture of accountability and is designed to enhance our overall governance, compliance and mitigation strategies against potential risks.
