Transparency, integrity and legality that are an essential and integral part of IGD’ s vision and corporate culture.
IGD, aware of the need to guarantee conditions of correctness and transparency when carrying out its business and corporate activities, has adopted internal procedures and tools that help to reinforce the culture of legality as a founding value, in addition to being a valid awareness-raising and guiding tool for all its stakeholders.
CODE OF CONDUCT
