Fair Money & Economic Opportunity

The provided articles indicate that iQSTEL's fintech subsidiary, Global Money One, focuses on expanding services to the international migrant market, including unbanked, underbanked, and underserved segments.

Planned services include low-cost domestic and international money transfers, SMS-based transfers, utility bill payments, and a VISA debit card. However, the articles do not provide specific quantitative data points required by the rubric for any of the KPIs, such as the percentage of underserved clients served, specific pricing details (APRs or fee multiples), revenue from high-cost products, share of loan/insurance book for inclusion initiatives, data accessibility features, fair lending compliance records, wealth building outcomes for customers, profit reinvestment percentages, financial literacy program reach or impact, average customer debt-to-income ratios, or product simplicity metrics. Therefore, no KPIs can be scored based on the evidence provided.

Fair Pay & Worker Respect

No specific, concrete data points were found in the provided articles for any of the KPIs related to Fair Pay & Worker Respect. Information regarding living wage coverage, CEO-median pay ratio (as median employee compensation is not available), collective bargaining share, safety incident rate, pay equity ratio, worker engagement score, turnover rate, labor violation incidents, insecure contract share, or health insurance coverage is not available.

The articles primarily focus on financial performance, executive compensation figures, and strategic business updates, without providing the necessary workforce-related metrics. **Explanation of Data Gaps and Limitations:** The provided article lacks crucial data for Fair Pay & Worker Respect metrics. There's no information on living wages, pay equity, collective bargaining, safety incidents, worker engagement, turnover, labor violations, insecure contracts, or health insurance coverage. The article focuses primarily on management compensation and company financials. The lack of data on these critical metrics makes it impossible to assess the company's performance in these areas. The article also doesn't provide industry benchmarks or comparisons to peers. The data is presented in a way that is more suitable for financial analysis than for assessing social responsibility.

Fair Trade & Ethical Sourcing

The provided articles do not contain any information related to Fair Trade & Ethical Sourcing.

There is no data available regarding fair-trade certifications, supplier audit frequency, forced or child labor incidents, supply chain traceability, remediation speed for violations, ethical clauses in supplier contracts, spend on high-risk materials, or supplier diversity initiatives.

Honest & Fair Business

The company's Board of Directors has concluded that none of its directors are independent based on NASDAQ standards, indicating 0% of board members are free from material conflicts of interest.

All subsidiaries are included in the consolidated financial statements, which are subject to an independent external audit by Urish Popeck & Co., LLC. The company adopted a Code of Business Conduct and Ethics in October 2022, which addresses conflicts of interest, compliance, and reporting suspected illegal or unethical behavior, but there is no mention of training frequency or effectiveness metrics.

Planet-Friendly Business

The provided articles do not contain any specific, concrete data points or facts related to iQSTEL Inc.'s environmental performance or planet-friendly business practices. All articles either explicitly state "No data provided," "No quantitative data," "Sustainability data is currently unavailable," or "no specific environmental or social data" for ESG metrics.

They primarily focus on financial performance, strategic growth, acquisitions, and NASDAQ uplisting goals without mentioning environmental initiatives. Therefore, no KPIs can be scored based on the evidence provided.

Respect for Cultures & Communities

The provided articles focus on IQSTEL Inc.'s financial performance, business strategy, and acquisitions. No specific, concrete data points or actions related to formal partnerships with indigenous or local community groups, reinvestment in local community development, cultural appropriation incidents, cultural impact assessment protocols, local employment ratios, grievance mechanisms, community complaint resolution times, FPIC processes, community governance inclusion, cultural preservation investment, local procurement, indigenous suppliers, cultural site protection, social license to operate, charitable giving to cultural heritage, community fund allocation, language inclusivity, cultural incident response, or cultural sensitivity training were found.

Therefore, no KPIs can be scored based on the evidence provided.
