At the IDB Group, integrity and transparency begin with our employees. Learn about the Bank's values and the tools we have in place to ensure compliance with high ethical standards.
The IDB Group's ethical standards are derived from the core values that guide our work: respect, inclusion, integrity and accountability. Putting these values into practice is essential to building trusting relationships within our team of staff and consultants.
