In September 2019, on the occasion of the upcoming 5th anniversary of the adoption of the Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs), the United Nations (UN) General Assembly declared 2020-2030 as the “Decade of Action for the Sustainable Development Goals”. The UN called on states and multinational corporations to accelerate sustainable solutions to all of the world’s biggest challenges – from poverty, inequality, closing the financial gap to climate change. Undoubtedly, one of the important elements enabling the SDG goals will be technological and digital transformation, which, among other things, can prevent global warming. Also not insignificant is the European Commission’s September 2020 Digital Finance Package, including the Digital Finance Strategy and legislative proposals on cryptoassets and digital resilience, for a competitive EU financial sector that provides consumers with access to innovative financial products.
“Already a few years ago, we at ProService Finteco realized that financial services integrating environmental, social and governance (ESG) criteria into business or investment decisions is the future, and it has become a reality. For corporations, ESG reporting will be one of the key challenges, along with digitizing data flows and providing competent staff for financial markets. Undoubtedly, we see ESG as the driving force behind our organization’s activities, and we are confident that the measures we have taken in the areas of environmental, social, labor and corporate policies, and above all, the alignment of our products and services with the needs of the market and our clients, will allow us to create value in our company in a sustainable manner. Using financial and non-financial information, we want to build long-term business strategies, mitigate risks and discover new opportunities, while making a positive impact on the environment and society” – said Pawel Sujecki, CEO of ProService Finteco.
