Governance
Working towards equality in the workplace, rejecting donations and bribery, and avoiding lobbying are all important to the ethical management of VertomCory. The diversity and structure of our teams, our fair tax strategy, and the way we inform our government on current affairs are always assessed and adjusted to ensure that VertomCory maintain our morality.
Sustainable Development Goals
The 2030 Agenda, adopted by all UN member countries in 2015, was established to provide a blueprint for peaceful and prosperous planet.
