Environmental, Social & Governance Policy

Our Environmental, Social & Governance (ESG) Policy

Qualitest believes that a responsible approach towards our employees, clients, local communities, the environment and society is an essential part of our success.

Our approach

Qualitest Group behaves as a responsible business and seeks to have a
positive impact on society and the environment. By taking an active approach to consider Environmental, Social and Governance (“ESG”) issues in our business operations, we aim to reduce risks and explore new opportunities
to serve our customers interests and society at large.

Qualitest recognizes that the focus on the societal impact of businesses and performance on wider ESG factors has increased in recent years, with growing interest from a range of stakeholders including investors and clients.

We believe that the foundation for effective ESG management is robust and transparent governance and integration of these considerations into the way that we do business. This includes alignment with our overall strategy and embedding relevant matters into our risk management framework and our product and service offering.
