International Personal Finance plc (IPF) is pleased to announce that it has received an overall score of 99 out of 100 (up from 96 last year) in the FTSE4Good ESG Ratings to rank amongst the best scoring financial services companies in the world. For the purposes of comparison the objective score would have seen IPF placed joint third amongst the world-wide supersector leaders had it been listed on the All World FTSE Index and in the FTSE4Good index series.
This achievement marks the fifth consecutive year that IPF has been included in the index and demonstrates a commitment to responsible business. The FTSE4Good ESG (Environmental, Social and Governance) Ratings are based on independent research, provide an objective measurement of how well a company manages its potential ESG risks and is based on clear, rules-based, and easy to apply methodologies.

‘Sustainable growth and responsible lending are at the heart of the IPF strategy and we are delighted that this is reflected in our outstanding performance in the FTSE4Good ratings.
