Accountability is also a strategy
How I-Trade approaches environmental responsibility, social accountability and corporate governance.
Environment
Data centres run on renewable energy; I-Trade Chain operates on proof-of-stake. The infrastructure's carbon footprint is offset through verified projects.
Social
A free investment literacy course open to everyone. The suitability assessment protects beginners from leveraged products.
Governance
Independent directors on the board, annual external model audits, and public incident reports.
ESG filters in strategies
An ESG filter can be enabled in any strategy: the algorithm will exclude issuers with low sustainability ratings and rebuild the portfolio without sacrificing diversification. The filter is transparent — the exclusion list is visible on the strategy card.
How the ESG filter works
Data sources
The filter relies on three independent ESG ratings and proprietary news-flow screening. An issuer is excluded on a low composite rating, proven violations, or membership of excluded sectors — the lists are publicly available in each strategy's profile.
Without Sacrificing Diversification
After an exclusion, the algorithm reconstructs the portfolio to preserve target sector and country weights: removing an issuer does not create a hidden short bet against the sector. The historical performance difference between filtered and unfiltered versions is publicly available.
The filter can be enabled in the settings of any strategy — with a single toggle, at no charge.
