Environmental, social and governance (ESG) is woven into our culture and values. We believe it is not only possible but our responsibility to deliver business success while at the same time doing what is best for our employees, customers, communities and the world around us. We are focused on making continuous progress on our ESG priorities, making a real difference and increasing transparency with all stakeholders. To that end, moving forward, we will report updates related to ESG performance on this website.
In 2019, we created an ESG cross-functional group consisting of internal employees and external advisors to identify and evaluate ESG factors that are most relevant to our business, with a focus on our long-term sustainability and finance performance. Our framework was informed by the views of our shareholders, ESG reporting frameworks, and other stakeholders. Among the ESG reporting frameworks, we were primarily guided by the Sustainability Accounting Standard Board’s (SASB) standards for the Technology and Communications sector.
Our disclosures will evolve over time as our business continues to grow. At Evertec, our board of directors, management and ESG working group are committed to developing strong ESG practices that are essential for generating long-term value for all of our stakeholders.
