3. Strong commitment to ESG
Our sustainability and growth strategies are aligned and mutually reinforcing. Our focus on improving financial health not only helps us achieve positive social impact, it also supports long-term revenue growth of our business.
For instance, increasing financial inclusion grows our total addressable markets by creating millions of potential new consumers for us and our clients around the world. This focus not only encourages innovation, as seen in ground-breaking products like Experian Boost, but also creates new revenue streams, such as our Limpa Nome debt renegotiation service, which significantly contributes to our Consumer Services revenue in Brazil. Being a purpose-led business not only helps attract and retain talent but also serves as a motivating force for our people. Ultimately, it enhances our reputation and strengthens our relationship with stakeholders.
