iq digital has published its first sustainability report for the 2024 financial year, sending a clear signal of transparency, responsibility and forward-looking action. The report provides open information on progress, challenges and planned measures in the areas of the environment, social affairs and corporate governance.

 

The report was prepared in accordance with the voluntary EU reporting standard for small and medium-sized enterprises (VSME, as of 12/2024). This enables SMEs to present their sustainability performance with manageable effort. iq digital made a conscious decision to take into account both the basic module and the comprehensive module of the standard. The relevant topics were identified through a double materiality analysis and supplemented with industry-specific data points – with the aim of providing as complete and transparent a picture as possible of the company's own sustainability activities.

 

‘With this sustainability report, we are revealing what drives us, what measures we have already taken, where we stand today – and what path we want to take in the future to further improve our environmental and social impact,’ explains Steffen Bax, CEO of iq digital. ‘Our goal is to put the creative power of digital communication at the service of sustainable development. While we are seeing setbacks in environmental transparency and many companies scaling back their efforts rather than stepping them up, we believe that the future is an obligation. We are consciously setting a positive course – not out of a sense of duty, but out of conviction.’

 

Among other things, the report highlights:

 

Climate protection measures and progress in reducing the carbon footprint

Initiatives for social responsibility, diversity and inclusion

Sustainable partnerships and transparent supply chains

Commitment to trustworthy marketing in high-quality digital environments

With this publication, iq digital underlines its long-term commitment to not only practising sustainability internally, but also making it visible externally – as a driving force for the industry and a reliable partner for customers and stakeholders.

 

The full report is now available for download in the Sustainability section of the iq digital website.
