Our commitments

We have been a signatory of the United Nations Global Compact since 2016. This is the world’s largest sustainability initiative among companies. As a signatory, we have committed to implement the ten principles on human rights, labour rights, environment and anti-corruption into our business. This engagement underscores our dedication to ethical business practices and sustainable development.

We align our sustainability strategy with the United Nations Agenda 2030 and the Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs). While recognising the importance of all 17 goals, we focus our efforts on three areas where we can make the greatest impact: Gender Equality (Goal 5), Decent Work and Economic Growth (Goal 8), and Climate Action (Goal 13). These priorities guide us in driving sustainable economic and social progress.

The UN Guiding Principles provide a structured framework for understanding and addressing human rights responsibilities in business. In 2021, we conducted our first Human Rights Impact Assessment, using the UNGPs to identify and address key human rights risks linked to our operations. This work continues to shape our commitment to respecting human rights.

The Global Reporting Initiative (GRI) provides a globally recognised framework for sustainability reporting. Since 2018, Intrum has used the GRI Standards as the reporting framework in our Annual and Sustainability Report, ensuring transparent disclosure of our environmental, social, and governance (ESG) impacts and alignment with global best practices.

Since declaring our support in 2021, we have worked to align with the TCFD recommendations. These provide a robust framework for reporting climate-related risks and opportunities, ensuring we meet stakeholder expectations and contribute to transparent financial reporting.
